CentOS VPS Hosting in Kenya, Tanzania and Nigeria

For most workloads, yes — it's the same enterprise base as RHEL with continuously delivered, tested updates. Teams that want fixed point releases with a ten-year lifecycle usually pick Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux instead; all three are free on every plan.

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

Yes. All Linux images, CentOS Stream included, are free on every plan — the plan price is the full price of the server.

Yes. Every CentOS Stream 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. The cleanest route is to deploy a fresh Rocky or AlmaLinux server and migrate your workload — deploys take under a minute, and your runbooks carry over almost unchanged. Snapshot first, as always.

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

CentOS Stream 9 if you want to stay in the family and are comfortable with continuously delivered updates; Rocky Linux 9 if you want a fixed point release rebuilt to match RHEL exactly; AlmaLinux 9 if your stack sits behind a control panel or you prefer its governance. All three are free images on every plan.

For most workloads, yes — the same enterprise base as RHEL, with tested updates arriving continuously rather than in batches. Teams that need a version number frozen for an audit usually take Rocky or AlmaLinux instead.

That is the cheapest moment to do it. The region is a field on the new instance, and everything else about the rebuild — packages, configuration management, application testing — happens identically whichever city you pick. Doing it later means a second migration.

Almost entirely. dnf, systemd, firewalld, SELinux enforcing by default and the same file layout. Where scripts break it is usually on package names or on Python versions rather than on anything structural, and the same is true whether you land on Stream, Rocky or AlmaLinux.

It can be. A copy of Tanzanian personal data taken to a staging box in Europe is a transfer out of Tanzania under the permit regime, and Kenyan and Nigerian records carry their own conditions. Rehearse the rebuild in the same region, or test on synthetic data.

One extra instance for as long as the overlap lasts. A 4 GB plan is $42.40 a month and an 8 GB plan $83.30, billed monthly, so a three-month parallel run on an 8 GB plan is around $250 in total. Snapshot before each cutover attempt so a failed one costs an afternoon rather than a weekend.

For a typical web and database tier it is an afternoon of work and a day of watching: build the instance, rsync the document root, restore the database, run both, drop the TTL, cut the DNS over. It lands where the users and records are — Kenyan in ke-1a, Tanzanian in tz-1a, Nigerian in ng-1a, at identical per-unit prices.

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.
