One of the earliest decisions after deciding a name for your startup and registering your domain names is deciding on where/how to host your website or apps. Your website needs to reside on a server someplace before you can service your products or services to your target market or audience.

Dedicated Server Hosting
Dedicated server hosting solutions are ideal websites and applications that require raw unparalleled server power. More so, some applications can only run in a bare-metal environment. Where this is the case, Web4Africa offers a range of dedicated server options that can be deployed in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya or South Africa.
Virtual Server Hosting
Where scalability is key and a bare-metal server is not a pressing requirement, a virtual cloud server is the ideal solution. Not only do they offer the security that comes with an isolated environment, they offer the committed server resources including virtual CPU, RAM, and storage.
Web4Africa offers virtual servers from data centres across Lagos Nigeria, Nairobi Kenya, Accra Ghana and Johannesburg South Africa. For ready-made server plans, the virtual servers can be delivered instantly while custom plans would require a manual setup.
WordPress Hosting
WordPress as a software has since evolved from being just a blogging platform into one of the most popular Content Management Systems (CMS) on the internet today. It is this extremely popular among startups for deploying websites.
Web4Africa offers a shared hosting service that is dedicated to WordPress-driven websites. The service is backed by high-end server resources including generous CPUs, RAM and fast SSDs.
