Rocky Linux VPS Hosting in Kenya, Tanzania and Nigeria

That's exactly what Rocky was created for, by one of CentOS's original founders. dnf, systemd, SELinux and the file layout all work the way your CentOS runbooks expect.

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

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

Yes. Every Rocky Linux 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.

Rocky is built from the same sources to be bug-for-bug compatible, and software documented or certified for RHEL 9 behaves identically on it. What a specific vendor will formally support is their commercial policy rather than a technical question, so ask them in writing before an audit does — most in this position deploy Rocky and keep the answer on file.

The Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation holds the project, and the build pipeline that produces the distribution is itself open, so the rebuild can be reproduced rather than depending on one company staying interested. That structure is why so many estates burned by the CentOS decision landed here.

Take Rocky when the whole point is that nothing differs from RHEL — a vendor matrix, an auditor, a cluster of machines that must stay identical. AlmaLinux deliberately allows itself to diverge where divergence helps its users, which is an advantage in some estates and an argument in others. Both are free here, and running one of each costs nothing but the second instance.

There is no forced migration between platforms or hardware generations and no lifecycle event that takes the machine away from you. vCPU, RAM and storage each resize independently to 32 vCPU and 64 GB with minimal downtime and without changing the IP, so growth happens under the same instance you registered with the vendor.

Yes to all three. Send [email protected] the registered names, tax identifiers and any purchase-order or cost-centre reference before the first order and the billing account carries them from the start. Annual billing runs ten months for twelve on eligible plans.

No. The account is yours wherever you are and the region is a choice at deploy time. You contract with LINESERVE, INC., registered in Dover, Delaware; what sits in Lagos, Nairobi and Dar es Salaam is the infrastructure. A local entity changes how you want to be billed and taxed, not whether you can deploy.

Customer references are available under NDA. Tell [email protected] what the workload is and which country it has to run in, and you will be pointed at the closest match.

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.
