Choosing and running your server

Dedicated Server Hosting FAQs

Answers about prices, server locations, software and managing your hosting.

What is a dedicated server?

A dedicated server is a physical computer reserved for one customer. Its CPU, RAM and storage run your websites and applications, rather than sharing the host with other hosting customers.

Our dedicated server plans give you administrator access to configure the operating system and software. They suit businesses that need control over their server environment and enough capacity for sustained workloads.

How much does a dedicated server cost in Kenya?

Our plans offer different billing terms. The amounts below are monthly equivalents for a three-year contract:

  • H1: Kshs 11,680.00 per month.
  • H2: Kshs 16,621.58 per month.
  • H3: Kshs 13,466.67 per month.

Use the plan selector to compare available contract lengths and the total billed for each term. Licensed control panels, extra IP addresses and Windows licences are separate options where available.

Which dedicated server plan should I choose?

Start with the resources your application uses at busy times, then allow room for growth. CPU-heavy processing, large databases and uploaded files each put different demands on a server.

  • H1: 4 cores / 8 threads, 32 GB RAM and two 480 GB SSDs for workloads that fit the entry configuration.
  • H2: 4 cores / 8 threads, 64 GB RAM and two 512 GB SSDs when memory is your main requirement.
  • H3: 6 cores / 12 threads, 64 GB RAM and two 2 TB SSDs for more processing capacity and larger datasets.

Compare actual resource use, software requirements and expected growth before choosing your plan.

Are your dedicated servers physically located in Kenya?

The H1–H3 plans shown here list Germany as their server location. H1 and H2 checkout also list choices including the UK, France and Cairo. The location choices depend on the selected plan.

Serving Kenyan customers does not require a Kenyan domain to be hosted in Kenya. If a Nairobi location is essential for your project, contact our team about a suitable configuration before ordering.

What is the difference between a dedicated server and a VPS?

A VPS gives you a virtual environment on a physical host that may run several customer accounts. A dedicated server reserves the physical host for your business.

Choose a VPS when its CPU, RAM and storage meet your requirements and you want a smaller starting cost. Choose dedicated hardware when you need the whole host for sustained processing, larger applications or control over how its resources are allocated. Compare our VPS plans alongside the dedicated options.

Can I host an ecommerce website on a dedicated server?

Yes. You can run a compatible ecommerce platform, its database and supporting services on your dedicated server. This can suit an established shop with a large catalogue, busy checkouts or integrations with stock and accounting software.

Your team still configures the application, HTTPS and payment gateway. Test checkout, M-Pesa callbacks and order notifications before moving customer traffic. If you want to create a shop without managing a server, explore our store builder.

Can I host several websites or client accounts?

Yes. Configure separate Apache virtual hosts, Nginx server blocks or accounts in a compatible hosting control panel. Each website can use its own domain, database and permissions.

  • Separate client files and database access.
  • Set resource limits where your management tools support them.
  • Enable HTTPS and maintain a separate backup for each project.

The number of sites the server can handle depends on their combined workload, rather than a fixed website count.

Do I get root access?

Yes. Dedicated hosting gives you administrative access to configure your server environment. On Linux, root privileges let you install packages, configure web servers and databases, and manage users and services.

Use separate administrator accounts and SSH keys for everyday access. Keep privileges limited to the people who manage the server, and avoid using the administrator account for routine application tasks.

Which operating systems are available?

The listed dedicated configurations support Linux. Available checkout choices include Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Debian and Oracle Linux, with versions shown for the selected plan.

Choose a version supported by your application and its dependencies. For software that requires Windows, check the Windows configuration and licence options for your chosen server.

Is cPanel or Plesk included with the server?

Commercial control panels are optional licensed services. Our checkout lists cPanel Premier and Plesk Web Host Edition as additional services for compatible dedicated servers.

You can manage Linux directly through SSH or install a compatible control panel. Check its operating-system support and licence requirements before installation. Use the available server options to compare the server and add-on costs.

Are dedicated servers managed or self-managed?

Root access lets your team manage software, updates, firewall rules, monitoring and backups. A managed service covers the tasks agreed in its management package; a server order alone does not define that scope.

If your business does not have a Linux administrator, contact our team to arrange the help you need. Specify whether you need initial setup, ongoing maintenance or application support.

Can I pay monthly instead of buying a three-year plan?

Yes. Our dedicated server checkout offers monthly billing alongside quarterly, six-month, annual, two-year and three-year terms.

Select the term that fits your budget in the pricing controls. A price displayed “per month” for a longer term is a monthly equivalent; the full contract amount is billed for that selected term. The checkout shows the amount due and applicable taxes before payment.

Do two SSDs replace the need for backups?

No. Two disks provide storage for your server; they do not create an independent recovery copy. Even if the disks are configured as a RAID mirror, accidental deletions and some failures can affect both copies.

  • Back up application files and databases to a separate destination.
  • Keep enough history to recover from a problem discovered later.
  • Test a full restore before relying on your backup process.
Can I migrate from another hosting provider?

Yes, provided your application and dependencies work on the new server. Prepare a test copy, check the business workflows and arrange a final data sync before switching DNS.

For an online shop, plan how orders placed during the move will be handled. For email or other services hosted elsewhere, preserve their DNS records. Our migration steps outline the process; contact our team if you need assistance with the move.

Can I run a gaming server?

Yes, when the game-server software supports your operating system and hardware. Dedicated resources can host game instances, mods and community tools without sharing the physical host with another hosting customer.

Choose hardware based on the game, concurrent players and mods. Test network latency from the Kenyan networks your players use before committing to a location. CPU capacity alone does not determine connection quality.

How do I secure my dedicated server?

Use SSH keys, restrict administrative access and keep the operating system and applications updated. Expose only the ports needed for your services, and monitor failed logins and application errors.

  • Separate application users from administrator accounts.
  • Enable HTTPS for websites and protect database access.
  • Keep backups outside the server and test recovery.

Dedicated hardware separates your workload from other hosting customers, while your software configuration remains part of protecting the service.

Can I connect a .co.ke or .com domain?

Yes. You can connect a domain registered with Truehost or another registrar. Add the hostname to your web-server configuration, point its DNS records to the assigned server address and enable HTTPS.

Keep existing mail records if email is hosted elsewhere. You can use subdomains for separate services, such as a customer portal or API.

Can I upgrade my dedicated server later?

You can move to a configuration with more suitable CPU, memory or storage as your workload grows. The process depends on the hardware and available configurations.

Physical server changes may require a planned migration. Keep current backups and allow time to test the new environment before changing traffic. Review our plans when resource monitoring shows that your current configuration is reaching its limits.
