A VPS (virtual private server) gives you your own server with guaranteed CPU and RAM, full root access and the freedom to install anything. With Hostnali, a VPS in our Nairobi data centre with a Kenyan IP address starts at Ksh 3,280 a month.
Why a Kenyan IP address matters
- Speed for local visitors. A server in Nairobi answers Kenyan users in a few milliseconds, compared with 180–250 ms from Europe or the USA.
- Local services and APIs. Some Kenyan payment, banking and government services expect requests from a Kenyan IP.
- Data residency. Keeping data in Kenya makes it simpler to meet the Data Protection Act.
- Local search. A local server and a .co.ke domain both help your site look local to search engines.
If you serve customers worldwide instead, our international VPS plans offer more resources for the price. Our VPS hosting page shows both side by side.

What people run on a Kenyan VPS
- Business software such as ERP, accounting and CRM systems, close to the staff who use them.
- Apps and APIs, including M-Pesa integrations and mobile app back ends.
- Automation with tools like n8n, and Docker containers.
- Busy websites and online shops that have outgrown shared hosting.
- VoIP and game servers, where low latency to Kenyan users matters most.
Choosing your size
- 1–2 vCPU, 2–4 GB RAM: one busy website, a small app or a development server.
- 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM: several websites, an online shop or business software for a small team.
- 8 or more vCPU, 16 GB RAM or more: large databases, many users at once, or several apps on one server.
You can upgrade later without reinstalling.
Managed or self-managed?
Our VPS plans are self-managed by default: you get full root access and look after the server yourself. If you’d rather leave that to us, add the managed option at checkout, and add backups at the same time: VPS plans don’t include backups unless you choose them. Not sure a VPS is right for you? Our comparison of shared hosting, VPS and cloud hosting can help.
Pay with M-Pesa, card or bank transfer. Order your Kenya VPS and it’s ready within minutes.
