A server that is actually yours

Every VPS is a KVM virtual machine, which means the RAM and CPU you pay for are reserved for you rather than shared out when a neighbour gets busy.

You get full root access, your own IPv4 address, unmetered traffic and DDoS protection. Install what you like: a specific PHP version, Docker, a database you tune yourself, a game server, a CI runner, anything that needs more than shared hosting allows.

Guaranteed vCPU cores, memory and NVMe storage reserved on a KVM virtual server

Choosing your setup

  • Operating system — Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, or Windows Server
  • Control panel — cPanel/WHM, Plesk, DirectAdmin, CyberPanel, CWP or none at all
  • Storage — NVMe for speed, or SSD when you need more space for the money
  • Management — unmanaged by default, or add our managed service and we look after it

All of these are chosen at checkout, and the panel licenses can be added from our shared license range at a fraction of buying direct.

Control panel options available on a Hostsawa VPS, including cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin

Sizing a VPS

Small sites and apps

A starter VPS handles a few WordPress sites, a staging environment or a small application comfortably.

Busy sites and shops

Mid-range plans suit a busy WooCommerce store, a membership site or several client sites with their own resources.

Heavy workloads

The largest plans carry enough cores and RAM for databases, analytics or a reseller business running its own control panel.

VPS Hosting: frequently asked questions

How much does a VPS cost in Kenya?

VPS plans start at Ksh 1,480. Every plan above lists its cores, RAM and storage, with prices in Kenyan shillings.

Is the VPS managed?

Unmanaged by default, which keeps the price down. You can add our managed service at checkout and we take care of updates, monitoring and routine problems.

Can I run Windows?

Yes. Windows Server is available as an operating system option at checkout on the VPS plans.

Do I get root access?

Yes, full root on Linux or administrator on Windows. The machine is yours.

Can I add cPanel or Plesk?

Yes — pick the panel at checkout, or buy one of our shared licenses separately and install it yourself for considerably less than the list price.

Is there DDoS protection?

Yes, it is included on every VPS at no extra cost.

Do you have a VPS located in Kenya?

No. Our VPS and dedicated servers are hosted in international data centres — we do not currently offer a Kenya-located VPS or a Kenyan IP address. If your application specifically needs to be hosted in Kenya, tell us and we will say so plainly rather than sell you something that is not.
