Cloud hosting in Kigali.
Kigali is where most Rwandan internet traffic starts and where the country's networks meet. Hosting here puts your site or application on the same side of the local exchange as the people using it, so a page load is a short hop across the city instead of a round trip to Johannesburg or Frankfurt and back.

Who runs things in Kigali
Banks, insurers, ministries, hospitals, fintechs, agencies and nearly every startup in the country have their users, their staff and their regulator in Kigali. When the data also sits in Kigali, the cross-border transfer question in a data protection review simply does not arise, and the people who run the hardware are in the same city and the same timezone as the people who depend on it.
What runs in the Kigali region
Everything. Web hosting and WordPress, cloud servers with full root access, managed PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB, managed Kubernetes, block storage, S3-compatible object storage, media buckets, load balancing, private networking, VPN, key management, backups, and all 57 one-click apps. Bare metal and colocation are available in Kigali too.
Speed you can check
Measured on a customer instance in this region: 985 MB/s sequential write, 48,600 random 4K read IOPS and 20,800 write IOPS on an encrypted volume. Ask for the raw fio files and we will send them rather than a screenshot.
The second copy stays in the country
Kigali is 130 km and 2.2 ms from our Huye region. That is close enough to replicate against and far enough apart to survive a power or fibre event, which means a disaster recovery plan for a Kigali workload never has to leave Rwanda.
