Dedicated Server Hosting in Tanzania

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.

In tz-1a, our Dar es Salaam region. The machine is provisioned there and stays there unless you move it.

Core 1 is TZS 772,500 a month with a one-time setup fee of TZS 247,500. The line runs to Core 6 at TZS 3,247,500 a month with a TZS 497,500 setup fee, and anything beyond that is quoted to your specification. Prices exclude VAT.

No — displayed prices exclude VAT, and mainland VAT of 18% is added at checkout.

Tanzanian customers are quoted, invoiced and billed in Shillings. Since Government Notice 198 of 2025 took effect in March 2025, that is the right way round for a domestic purchase — and on a twelve-month commitment it means the contract figure and the invoice figure stay the same number.

M-Pesa and other mobile money, bank transfer, or card — all in TZS, with no forex conversion. For a first invoice above a million Shillings most Tanzanian finance teams use a bank transfer; the monthly line afterwards is comfortable on a wallet.

Tanzanian law requires a business paying a non-resident for services to withhold 15% of the gross consideration unless a double taxation agreement reduces it, and that applies irrespective of where the service is performed. Lineserve invoices Tanzania from LINESERVE, INC. Settle the treatment with your tax adviser before your first payment, and bring us in — [email protected] — so the invoicing matches how you remit.

Sometimes. If you have the capital, a five-year horizon and somebody who can be at the machine within the hour, owning can be the right call. Price the whole arrangement before you decide: the purchase in foreign currency, the shipping, clearance at the port of Dar es Salaam, duty and import VAT, the weeks of lead time, then power, cooling, spares, insurance, depreciation and disposal. Renting is that list replaced by one Shilling figure per month.

Yes. Your data is held in Dar es Salaam and stays in-country, giving you data residency for Tanzania's Personal Data Protection Act. It is not moved out of Tanzania without your instruction.

Compliance is yours as the data controller — your registration with the Commission, your notices, your lawful basis, your breach reporting. What a Dar es Salaam machine gives you is residency: the personal data on it stays in Tanzania, so the cross-border transfer permit never applies to it.

Every core, thread, gigabyte of memory and disk in the machine is yours. Nothing else is scheduled on it, so performance does not move because of somebody else's month-end batch. The Core line is RAID-1 usable SSD storage with a dedicated IPv4, a free /64 of IPv6, unlimited local traffic and out-of-band IPMI on every machine.

Ready Core configurations that are in stock come online within hours. Custom builds are quoted with a short lead time while the hardware is assembled and tested — still a fraction of the time it takes to import a machine of your own.

Yes. Beyond the six ready builds you can specify CPU, memory, storage and RAID level, add IPv4 addresses or bandwidth, and run any Linux distribution, Windows Server, or your own hypervisor. Managed cover for OS management, patching and monitoring is available as an add-on.

Dedicated is single-tenant physical hardware: full uncontended performance, custom RAID, and provisioning in hours. Cloud Servers are virtualised, resize in a click and come online in under a minute. Teams often run both in tz-1a and join them over private networking inside the region.

That is colocation, and we sell it in Dar es Salaam as its own product with space, power, cross-connects and remote hands. Tell us the footprint and we will quote it.

Yes. tz-1a in Dar es Salaam, ke-1a in Nairobi and ng-1a in Lagos are all live and available in the same account. Note that replicating personal data to a second country is a transfer outside Tanzania, and the Commission's permit regime applies to it.

Yes — +255 761 847 121, with [email protected] for everything else. Tanzania is on East Africa Time, UTC+3, all year with no daylight saving, so business hours mean one thing in January and the same thing in July.
