African-hosted 4-vCPU / 8-GB / 200-GB VPS for $5.89/month

2•SiveHost•1h ago
African developers often deploy workloads in Europe because African compute can be expensive or difficult to access. Sive.Host infrastructure physically hosted on African soil.

R103.08/month currently gets 4 CPU cores, 8 GiB RAM, 200 GB SSD/NVMe, 4 TB bandwidth, 100 Mbps and an IPv4 address. Your larger plans go up to 24 CPU cores / 96 GiB RAM / 700 GB storage. We can price this way because most if not all our input costs are in ZAR, not in USD. The cloud is built and maintained by skilled personell earning in ZAR, the electricity in ZAR, The bandwidth in ZAR, the Data Center in ZAR etc. .. We are lowering the cost to innovation on the continent.
