AlmaLinux VPS Hosting in Kenya, Tanzania and Nigeria

Yes. AlmaLinux is one of cPanel's officially supported operating systems — it's the OS most cPanel servers run today. You bring your own cPanel licence; the OS itself is free.

They're close cousins: both free, RHEL-compatible CentOS successors. AlmaLinux is the safer pick for cPanel and web-hosting stacks; otherwise the choice mostly comes down to which community you prefer. We offer both.

AlmaLinux 9 is available at deploy time and kept current. You can also bring your own image with a custom ISO.

Yes. Every AlmaLinux VPS gives you complete root access and SSH key authentication from the moment it boots. It's your server to configure however you like.

Yes. Resize to a larger plan as your workload grows, with minimal downtime. Compute and storage scale together across the tiers.

Every plan supports on-demand snapshots and scheduled automated backups. Snapshot storage is billed per GB beyond your included allowance.

Take AlmaLinux when the estate sits behind a control panel, when you want the operating system answerable to a membership rather than to a company, or when you would rather have a project that fixes something for its users than one that waits for upstream. Take Rocky when the requirement is that nothing at all differs from Red Hat. Both are free images here and you can run one of each.

It means software compiled for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 installs and runs on AlmaLinux 9 without changes, which is what almost every application actually needs. Where a vendor's contract names RHEL specifically rather than describing a technical requirement, ask them in writing what they will support before you standardise an estate on any rebuild.

The AlmaLinux OS Foundation, a non-profit governed by a board its members elect. It began inside a company and was handed over deliberately, so the project cannot be discontinued by one commercial decision the way its predecessor was. If you are placing a client estate on a base you expect to still be there in eight years, that governance is the thing to look at.

Yes — AlmaLinux is one of cPanel's supported operating systems and the OS most cPanel servers run today. You bring your own panel licence; the operating system image itself is free on every plan, in every region. Plesk, CyberPanel and DirectAdmin install the same way, on a machine you have full root on.

Yes, and that is the usual shape. One console, one API token, one invoice, and an instance per country so each client's data sits where their own compliance function expects. Kenyan sites in ke-1a, Tanzanian in tz-1a, Nigerian in ng-1a — per-unit prices are identical in all three.

You are quoted and settled in US dollars by default, by card or bank transfer. If a particular client relationship needs a local currency, switch to that market and it prices in KES, TZS or NGN from a list set in that currency, with M-Pesa alongside card and transfer in Kenya and Tanzania. Some agencies run one account per market for exactly this reason — set it up before the first order rather than after.

That the instance and its volume are created in Nairobi and are not moved out of Kenya without instruction, giving data residency for Kenya's Data Protection Act. The same sentence works for Tanzania's Personal Data Protection Act and Nigeria's Data Protection Act with the city changed. The registration and assessment obligations that sit on the controller stay with your client.

Site by site it is small: build the AlmaLinux instance, restore the account, run both, drop the TTL, cut the DNS. Doing it per client keeps every window short and every rollback trivial, and migration planning and assistance are included at no extra charge. You do not need a company in any of the three countries — the account is yours wherever you are, and you contract with LINESERVE, INC., registered in Dover, Delaware.

Your data stays in the region you deploy to. Across our data centres in Nairobi (Kenya), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), and Lagos (Nigeria) it never has to leave the continent — deploy in the country closest to your users and your data is held there.

In whichever of our three regions you choose — Nairobi (ke-1a), Dar es Salaam (tz-1a), or Lagos (ng-1a). Your content is stored and served from that in-country facility.

Pay in USD by card or bank transfer — or switch to our Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria or Uganda market to pay locally in KES, TZS, NGN or UGX with methods like M-Pesa and MTN Mobile Money.

You can view and pay in USD, or switch to a local market to pay in KES (Kenya), TZS (Tanzania), or NGN (Nigeria). You're settled in the currency you choose at checkout.
