For Tanzanian businesses

Hosting that speaks your language, literally

Tanzanian businesses have usually had two hosting options, and neither is comfortable. International providers are competent but distant: dollar billing, support tickets answered overnight, and no idea what a .co.tz is. Local resellers understand the market but often hand you a site with no control panel, no backups and no way to check whether anything is actually running.

We sit in the middle, and the useful part is that we are close by. Tanzania and Kenya share a clock, a trading bloc and a working language — our Nairobi support team handles Kiswahili and English, so you are not translating your problem before you can describe it. That sounds small until the day something breaks at four in the afternoon.

Underneath, it is ordinary professional hosting done properly: LiteSpeed and NVMe storage, DirectAdmin, free SSL that renews itself, daily backups you can restore without asking us, and email on your own domain. Prices are in Kenyan shillings with a dollar view, and there is no VAT on top.

What every plan includes

  • Free SSL certificate, renewed automatically
  • LiteSpeed web server and NVMe SSD storage
  • DirectAdmin control panel, one-click WordPress
  • Email on your own domain
  • Daily backups you can restore yourself
  • Free migration from your current host
  • Live uptime published at status page, checked every minute

Who we host in Tanzania

Safari and tour operators

Arusha, Zanzibar and Serengeti operators whose enquiries arrive from overseas and must load fast on a slow connection.

Freight and logistics

Dar es Salaam port agents, clearing firms and transporters publishing rates, tracking and contact details.

Agriculture and export

Cashew, coffee, spice and horticulture exporters presenting certification and buyer information.

Professional services

Law firms, accountants and consultancies in Dar and Dodoma who need a credible address and real email.

Schools and colleges

Admissions, results and parent portals — .ac.tz is available and is the cheapest of the Tanzanian extensions.

NGOs and community groups

Organisations on .or.tz needing donor-facing pages, reports and a domain of their own.

Where your website actually runs

We run two hosting locations: a node in Kenya and a node in the United Kingdom. New accounts go on whichever suits the site, and you can ask for a specific one. For Tanzanian visitors the Kenyan node is usually the better choice, because regional traffic between Tanzania and Kenya peers within East Africa instead of routing out to Europe and back.

We do not publish invented latency figures. What we do publish is our live status page, which checks the website, both hosting nodes, mail, the payment gateways and the domain registry every minute, and shows the real numbers including the bad days.

Practical notes for Tanzania

  • East Africa Time, UTC+3 — exactly the same clock as Nairobi, so our support hours are your business hours
  • Support is in Kiswahili and English
  • Customers reach us on Vodacom and Airtel and Halotel and Tigo like any other website
  • Serving Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Arusha, Mwanza, Zanzibar City, Mbeya

Tanzania domain names

We register Tanzania's own extensions alongside .com, .org and 200+ others. These country extensions are arranged by our team rather than bought instantly at checkout, so allow one business day; you will get the invoice first and the domain confirmed once it is through. Renewal prices are shown up front — worth checking, because for some extensions the renewal is higher than the first year.

Extension Register Renew Transfer in
.ac.tz KSh 1,950$15.00/yr KSh 1,950$15.00/yr KSh 1,950$15.00/yr Check
.co.tz KSh 2,310$17.77/yr KSh 2,310$17.77/yr KSh 2,310$17.77/yr Check
.or.tz KSh 3,600$27.69/yr KSh 3,600$27.69/yr KSh 3,600$27.69/yr Check
.tz KSh 6,500$50.00/yr KSh 6,500$50.00/yr KSh 6,500$50.00/yr Check

Prices are read live from our catalogue, so what you see here is what you pay. Not sure which to pick? How to choose a domain name applies just as well outside Kenya.

Paying us from Tanzania

What works

  • Visa, Mastercard and American Express, processed through PesaPal. This is the normal route from Tanzania and needs nothing special at your end.
  • Billing in KSh or USD. Use the currency switcher in the menu; your bank converts from Tanzanian shillings at its own rate.
  • Bank transfer for annual invoices and larger projects — ask on live chat and we will send the details.

What does not work, so you are not caught out

Our M-Pesa checkout is Safaricom Kenya only. Tanzanian mobile money is not a checkout option — and that includes Vodacom M-Pesa, which shares a name with the Kenyan service but is a separate system we cannot bill. We would rather say so on this page than have you discover it at checkout.

Prices carry no VAT. If your business needs an invoice in a particular format for local accounting, ask and we will issue it that way.

Moving to Hostiko from Tanzania

1

Tell us what you have

Send your current host, your domain and roughly how big the site is. Live chat is fastest.

2

We copy it across

Files, databases and email are moved onto our server and tested there while your current site stays online.

3

You check it

We give you a preview link. Nothing changes for your visitors until you are happy with it.

4

Point the domain

You update the nameservers, or we do it if the domain is with us. Migration is free on any paid plan.

Questions from Tanzania

This is the question we get most, and the answer is no — which is worth explaining, because the name is genuinely confusing. Vodacom M-Pesa in Tanzania and Safaricom M-Pesa in Kenya are separate systems, and our checkout is connected to the Kenyan one. Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money and Halopesa are not options either. What does work from Tanzania is Visa, Mastercard or American Express through our PesaPal checkout, or a bank transfer for annual invoices — just ask on live chat.

Yes, and the live price is in the table above alongside .ac.tz, .or.tz and .tz. Tanzanian extensions are arranged by our team rather than bought instantly at checkout, so allow about one business day — you receive the invoice first and we confirm once registration completes. Note that .ac.tz is the cheapest of them and is intended for educational institutions, while .or.tz suits NGOs and associations.

Yes. Our support team is in Nairobi and works in Kiswahili and English every day, so you can open a chat in either and get a sensible answer. What we will not claim is round-the-clock native coverage of every East African language — it is Kiswahili and English, from people, during Kenyan business hours, with tickets answered outside them.

We run one node in Kenya and one in the United Kingdom. If most of your visitors are in Tanzania and the region, the Kenyan node is normally the better pick, because regional traffic peers within East Africa rather than crossing to Europe and back. We publish real, minute-by-minute figures on our status page rather than a made-up millisecond number, and you can ask to be moved between nodes at any time.

No. Migration is free on any paid plan and is done in a specific order for exactly this reason: we copy your files, databases and email onto our server and test them there while your current host keeps serving visitors. You get a preview link, you confirm it looks right, and only then does the domain get repointed.

Both, depending on what you want. Hosting, domains, email and SSL are the standard package. If you do not have a site yet or the current one is embarrassing you, our team also builds them through our website design service, and we will host what we build. Plenty of Tanzanian customers start with hosting and a migration, then come back for the rebuild later.
