AlmaLinux VPS Hosting in Tanzania

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 license; 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.

AlmaLinux, in most cases. It is the base control panels list first and the one panel documentation assumes, which matters when you are running somebody else's software on somebody else's clients. Rocky is the more common answer on the enterprise and infrastructure side, where a vendor support matrix decides. We run both in Dar es Salaam at the same plan prices, so the choice costs nothing either way.

No — the panel licence is yours to buy from the panel vendor, as it would be anywhere. The plan price covers the machine and the AlmaLinux image, both in TZS. Install whichever panel your team already knows on a server you hold root on.

That is the point. Your server is priced in TZS from our own per-currency price list rather than converted from a dollar figure at checkout, so the cost side of a client retainer stops moving independently of the revenue side. What you quote in October is what you pay in March.

In batches, not in one night. Stand up the AlmaLinux instance, restore or transfer a handful of accounts, drop the TTL on those domains to 300 the day before you switch, move them, watch the logs, then take the next batch. Monthly billing means running the old and new side by side for a few weeks costs one extra plan.

Yes. Their sites, databases, mailboxes and uploads sit on an instance in Dar es Salaam and are not moved out of Tanzania without your instruction — data residency for Tanzania's Personal Data Protection Act. If a client asks where their data is, the answer is a city rather than a region name on a map of somewhere else.

It depends on what they do rather than how many there are. A dozen brochure sites sit comfortably on 2 GB plan at TZS 43,900 a month; one busy store with a real database wants the 4 GB plan at TZS 84,800 or the 8 GB plan at TZS 166,600 to itself. The useful discipline is to move a client onto their own instance the moment their traffic starts deciding everybody else's afternoon.

M-Pesa, bank transfer or card, all in TZS. Displayed prices exclude VAT; mainland VAT is 18% on digital and electronic services and is added at checkout, so the plan figure is the net one to build your margin on.

Yes. Your data is hosted in Tanzania and stays in-country, giving you data residency for Tanzania's Personal Data Protection Act. It isn't moved out of Tanzania without your instruction.

In our Dar es Salaam data centre (tz-1a). Your content is stored and served from Dar es Salaam, close to your users.

Pay in your local currency using M-Pesa and other mobile money, bank transfer, or card. No foreign card or forex conversion is required.

You're billed in TZS. Prices can be viewed in USD, KES, TZS, or NGN, but as a Tanzania customer you pay in TZS with no forex conversion.
