Serving Rwandan businesses

Rwanda already runs online. Your hosting should keep up.

Few of Rwanda's neighbours do as much online. Registering a company, filing tax and many other government services already happen digitally, and business runs in English. For a small Kigali firm, that means the website has stopped being an afterthought: clients, partners and procurement officers look you up before they pick up the phone.

Hosting has lagged behind. Typically you choose between an international provider that bills in dollars, expects a card you may prefer not to use online and answers tickets from a time zone eight hours away, or a local reseller offering no control panel and no backups. SiteBoma is the middle option: a Kenyan company one country across, hosting on our own servers, with a support team on live chat during your working day.

Prices are in Kenyan shillings with a dollar view, no VAT is charged, and moving your current site over is free. If you want out of where your site lives now, we handle that part.

Included on every plan

  • An SSL certificate at no cost, renewed for you
  • NVMe SSD storage behind a LiteSpeed web server
  • The DirectAdmin panel, with WordPress in one click
  • Mailboxes at your own domain name
  • A backup every day, which you can restore without us
  • Your existing site moved across free
  • Uptime tested every minute and shown live on our status page

Who our hosting suits in Rwanda

Lodges and tourism

Operators around Volcanoes, Nyungwe and Lake Kivu needing a quick, photo-heavy site that opens well for visitors abroad.

Coffee and tea

Exporters and producer co-operatives showing foreign buyers their origin, certificates and contact details.

Software and consulting

Kigali agencies, consultancies and dev shops running WordPress or their own stack on a proper control panel.

NGOs and associations

Groups that want a trustworthy .org.rw address, pages for donors and email on their own domain.

Schools and training

Results portals, admissions information and messages to parents, with a generous number of mailboxes.

Shops, hotels and restaurants

Businesses swapping a presence on social media alone for a site they own.

Where your site is physically hosted

Our hosting server is not in Kenya: it is in the United Kingdom, and it serves our Kenyan customers too. Help by live chat, email or ticket comes from our Nairobi team, on East Africa Time.

You will not find a made-up latency number here. Instead, our live status page tests our website, the hosting server, mail, the payment gateway and the domain registry once a minute, and keeps the honest record, bad days included.

Good to know in Rwanda

  • Central Africa Time, UTC+2: an hour behind Nairobi, which means our team is at work before you are
  • Our team replies in English
  • Visitors on MTN Rwanda and Airtel Rwanda open your site the same way they open any other
  • Covering Kigali, Musanze, Huye, Rubavu, Muhanga, Nyagatare

Domains for Rwanda

As well as .com, .org and 200+ other extensions, we can register the ones that belong to Rwanda. Our team handles these country domains by hand, so they are not instant at checkout: allow one business day. The invoice comes first, and we confirm the domain once registration completes. Look at the renewal column before you decide, since some extensions cost more to renew than to register.

Extension Register Renew Transfer in
.co.rw KSh 2,160$16.62/yr KSh 2,160$16.62/yr KSh 2,160$16.62/yr Check
.org.rw KSh 2,160$16.62/yr KSh 2,160$16.62/yr KSh 2,160$16.62/yr Check
.rw KSh 3,720$28.62/yr KSh 3,720$28.62/yr KSh 3,720$28.62/yr Check

These figures come straight from our live catalogue, so the price shown is the price charged. Still undecided? Our guide on picking a domain name works just as well beyond Kenya's borders.

How to pay from Rwanda

Ways to pay

  • Visa or Mastercard on Paystack's secure checkout page. From Rwanda this is the usual way to pay, and you need nothing extra to use it.
  • Billed in KSh. If dollars are easier to read, the currency switcher in the menu shows US dollar prices. Whatever you view, the charge is in Kenyan shillings, with your bank converting from Rwandan francs at its own rate.
  • Bank transfer, for yearly invoices or bigger projects. Ask us on live chat and we will send you the details.

What we cannot accept, so checkout holds no surprises

M-Pesa at our checkout means Safaricom M-Pesa in Kenya and nothing else. Card is the way to pay, since MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money Rwanda are not offered at checkout. Better that you read it here than find out halfway through paying.

No VAT is added to our prices. Should your accountant need the invoice laid out a certain way for local bookkeeping, tell us and we will issue it in that format.

Switching to SiteBoma from Rwanda

1

Share the details

Let us know who hosts you now, which domain you use and roughly how large the site is. Live chat gets the quickest reply.

2

We move a copy

Your files, databases and mailboxes come over to our server and are tested there, while the old site carries on running.

3

You review it

A preview link lets you inspect the new copy. Your visitors see no change until you approve it.

4

Switch the domain

Change the nameservers yourself, or let us do it when the domain is registered with us. Every paid plan includes the move free.

What people in Rwanda ask us

No. Visa and Mastercard both work on Paystack's secure checkout page, and nothing in the process expects you to be in Kenya. The charge is in Kenyan shillings, and your bank converts it from Rwandan francs at its own rate. Bear in mind that our M-Pesa option is Safaricom Kenya only, so MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money Rwanda cannot be used. For a yearly invoice or a larger project, ask on live chat and we will set up a bank transfer.

Yes. You will find current prices in the table above, pulled live from our catalogue. Our team arranges Rwandan extensions by hand rather than selling them instantly at checkout, so allow roughly one business day: first comes the invoice, then our confirmation once registration goes through. Happy to start on a .com while you decide? Add the .rw later and point both names at one site.

On our hosting server in the United Kingdom; we have none in Kenya or Rwanda. Our status page gives its true minute-by-minute state instead of a marketing figure.

To be straight with you, no. We support you in English, the working language of most Rwandan businesses and of our team in Nairobi. Better to say so now than promise a language we cannot staff. Live chat, email and tickets are all covered in English, and nobody reads from a call-centre script.

Rwanda runs on Central Africa Time, one hour behind Nairobi, so our day begins before yours. Live chat is staffed through Kenyan business hours, covering most of your working day, and tickets are answered outside those hours as well. Real response and uptime figures, bad days included, are on our live status page instead of a marketing number.

Yes, at no cost on any paid plan, whoever hosts it today. We copy the files, databases and email onto our server and test it all there while your existing site keeps serving visitors, then send you a preview link. You repoint the domain only once you are satisfied, so your site is never offline in between.
