What you get

Every resource, dedicated to you

No hypervisor tax, no noisy neighbors, no contention. A dedicated server delivers its full hardware to one tenant — you — every second of the month.

100% dedicated hardware

Full cores, full memory, full disks. Nothing is shared, virtualized, or oversold.

Predictable performance

No neighbors competing for CPU or I/O, so throughput stays consistent under load.

NVMe & RAID

Enterprise NVMe with hardware or software RAID for speed and redundancy you configure.

Out-of-band management

Full IPMI/BMC access to power-cycle, reinstall, and reach the console any time.

Any OS, or bring your own

Install any Linux distribution, Windows Server, or a hypervisor of your choice.

Custom configurations

Tune cores, memory, storage, and RAID to your workload — or start from a ready build.

Free DDoS protection

Always-on network-layer mitigation included at no extra cost.

Private networking

Connect dedicated and cloud resources on isolated internal networks within a region.

Colocation-grade hardware

Enterprise servers in Tier III facilities, maintained and monitored by our team.

Regions & latency

Bare metal, close to your users

Place your hardware in the region nearest the people it serves. Single-digit latency within each metro, data kept on the continent, in Tier III facilities.

Stock and lead times vary by region — a config not held in stock locally is built to order.

Build to spec

Configure it exactly the way you need

Start from a ready build and adjust, or spec a machine from the ground up. Tell us the shape of your workload and we'll build the hardware to match.

Processor

Choose core count and clock for your workload — from efficient 8-core builds to 64-core density.

Memory

Scale RAM to fit databases, caches, and virtualization, up to 512 GB and beyond on request.

Storage & RAID

Mix NVMe and SSD, set RAID levels, and size capacity for speed, redundancy, or both.

Add-ons

Extra IPv4s, additional bandwidth, managed OS, and backup targets, added to any build.

Not sure where to start? Tell us your workload and target budget, and we'll propose a build.

Use cases

When you need the whole machine

High-performance databases

Virtualization & private cloud

Run your own hypervisor and carve up dedicated hardware exactly as you like.

High-traffic applications

Sustained, predictable throughput for busy platforms that can't tolerate contention.

Isolation & compliance

Single-tenant hardware for workloads with strict data-isolation requirements.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Ready configurations that are in stock come online within hours. Custom builds are quoted with a short lead time while we assemble and test the exact hardware you specified.

Yes. A dedicated server is single-tenant — every core, gigabyte, and disk belongs to your machine alone. Nothing is shared, virtualized, or oversold.

Absolutely. Install VMware, Proxmox, or any hypervisor and partition the hardware however you like. It's your machine.

Any Linux distribution, Windows Server, or a hypervisor of your choice. You can also bring your own image.

Yes. Every server includes IPMI/BMC access so you can power-cycle, reinstall, and reach the console independently of the operating system.

Yes. Adjust CPU, memory, storage, and RAID, and add IPv4s, bandwidth, or managed services. Tell us your workload and we'll propose a build.

Yes, as an add-on. We can handle OS management, patching, and monitoring so your team can focus on the application rather than the hardware.

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, or Nigeria market to pay locally in KES, TZS, or NGN with methods like M-Pesa.

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.
