Do I get SSH access?

SSH (secure shell) access is available on request on all plans. Once enabled, you can manage your application and files from the command line. Just ask our support team to switch it on for your account.

Which Node.js hosting package should I choose?
  • Starter Package: Ideal for a single small app or side project. It offers 20GB SSD storage and can host up to 2 domains.

Can I upgrade my plan as my app grows?

Yes, you can easily upgrade your hosting plan as your app grows and your needs change. Our services are designed to grow with you, making scaling up smooth and hassle-free.

Upgrading for more storage, resources, or extra features will not interrupt your service.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on our hosting services. If you're not satisfied within the first 30 days, you can get a full refund. For more details, please see our refund policy.

How does the free domain registration work?

When you choose one of our hosting plans, you get a free .africa domain registration for the first year. You can select your domain during checkout. After the first year, you'll need to pay the standard renewal fees to keep your domain. This keeps the domain registered under your name and gives your project a professional, locally recognised extension, especially useful for Rwandan apps and businesses.

What kind of support can I expect from your team?

Our technical team is here to help with any hosting issue, from DNS and databases to migrations, keeping your workflow smooth and stress-free. We offer multiple support options:

  1. Live Chat: Engage with us in real-time for immediate assistance.
  2. Support Tickets: Submit detailed inquiries, and our knowledgeable staff will address your concerns thoroughly.

Our support team is available every day from 07:00 AM to 11:00 PM to assist you.

Do you offer migration services, and is it free?

  1. Expert Assistance: Our team will guide you through the migration process, ensuring everything goes smoothly.
  2. Free Domain Name Transfers: We also offer free domain name transfers for certain domains, allowing you to manage both your hosting and domain with us, saving you the hassle and cost of dealing with multiple providers.

Our goal is to make your transition to our hosting service seamless and cost-effective.

How easy is it to get a project deployed on your platform?

Getting a project live on our hosting is straightforward. Here's how we make it easy:

  • DirectAdmin Control Panel: Manage domains, databases, files, and DNS from one fast, intuitive panel.
  • FTP and File Access: Upload your files over FTP, or install popular platforms like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal in one click.

  • Ongoing Support: Our technical team is here to assist you at every step.

We aim to make going from local to live as smooth as possible.

What measures do you take for backups and data recovery?

We prioritise the protection and recovery of your data by offering the following measures:

  • Regular Automatic Backups: We automatically back up your files and databases regularly and retain backups for up to 9 days.
  • Easy Data Recovery: Roll back files or restore your site and databases to an earlier version from the control panel when a change goes wrong.
  • Best Practice Recommendation: While we keep your data safe, we recommend keeping your own backups (and version control) for an extra layer of security.

Our goal is to ensure your data is always protected and easily recoverable.

What is an SSL certificate, and do I get one with my hosting plan?

An SSL certificate is like a digital ID for your website. It proves your site is genuine and creates a secure connection for data transfer, keeping information exchanged between your website and its visitors private and safe.

We include a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate with all our hosting plans. As soon as your domain is ready, the system automatically sets up certificates, ensuring your website is secure from day one and protecting your visitors' data.

How much is hosting in Rwanda?

In Rwanda our hosting starts from just RF 8,910 per month. Our plans deliver fast, reliable performance - perfect for developers, startups, and growing brands that want great value without compromise.

What are the differences between web hosting, domains, and subdomains?

Web hosting, domains, and subdomains are distinct but vital components of having a website:

  1. Web Hosting: It's like renting space on the internet to store your website's files and data.
  2. Domain: This is your website's unique name or address, like "mywebsite.com".
  3. Subdomain: These are additional addresses that are part of your main website, helping to organise your site into sections. For instance, if your website is "mywebsite.com", a subdomain could be "blog.mywebsite.com".

These elements work together to make your website accessible and navigable on the internet.

Does hosting affect performance and SEO?

Yes, where and how you host significantly impacts performance and SEO in the following ways:

  • Page Load Time: Search engines prioritise user experience, favouring fast-loading websites. A good web host ensures quick server responses, leading to faster page loading times. This is critical for SEO as it affects user interaction and bounce rates.
  • Server Uptime: Consistent website availability is crucial for SEO. If your site frequently experiences downtime, search engines may struggle to index it, negatively impacting your rankings. Reliable hosting ensures minimal downtime, keeping your site accessible to both search engines and visitors.
  • Server Location: The geographical location of your hosting servers can influence how quickly your site loads for local users. Hosting servers closer to your primary audience can result in faster loading times, which can positively impact your SEO performance.

Our hosting services prioritise these aspects to support your SEO efforts. We offer nearby servers for fast connections and guarantee consistent website availability, which can contribute to improved search engine rankings.
