Get a QuoteA Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a slice of a physical server that acts as a dedicated machine of its own. The CPU cores, RAM and SSD storage allocated to it are guaranteed and nobody else can use them, and you get full root access to install any software you need. On shared hosting a busy neighbour on the same server can slow you down. On a VPS that cannot happen.
Our VPS plans run in Tier-III data centres, are provisioned within minutes of your M-Pesa payment and are billed in Kenyan shillings, so your invoice never carries a currency surprise.
"A VPS is a private server of your own: the software is your choice, the performance is not shared, and you can add resources whenever you need them."
Most websites in Kenya begin on shared hosting and move to a VPS once their traffic or technical needs grow.

Typical moments when shared hosting stops being enough.
Checkout slows at busy times and product search drags once you have hundreds of SKUs. On a VPS the cart stays quick even when M-Pesa orders pile in.
A story gets shared around WhatsApp and traffic can jump 10× within an hour. A VPS has the spare capacity to absorb that without returning a 503.
Cron jobs, shell access, particular PHP extensions and long-running processes are all things shared hosting restricts. On a VPS none of them are off limits.
People sign in, dashboards load and email queues keep running. Here steady performance counts for more than raw bandwidth, and steady performance is what a VPS gives you.
Big WordPress installs, directories holding thousands of listings and reporting dashboards all want more RAM than a shared plan can give.
SACCO, fintech and healthcare portals often need an isolated environment to meet compliance rules, and a VPS gives them that separation.
Out of the box, SiteBoma VPS plans are semi-managed. You keep root access while we look after the server underneath: kernel updates, security patches, firewall configuration and basic monitoring. If something looks like server administration you should not have to do yourself, ask us.
If your team wants no server admin at all (no sudo, no apt-get, no tail -f /var/log), choose the fully managed add-on. We install your stack, set up nginx, tune MySQL, run the backups and respond to alerts, and you simply push code and watch the traffic come in.
Enquire about Managed VPSWhat VPS customers in Kenya ask us most.
The price of a VPS in Kenya comes down to how much CPU, RAM and storage it has. Our VPS plans are quoted per configuration and are billed in Kenyan Shillings through M-Pesa, so a shift in the exchange rate never turns into a bigger dollar bill. Every plan includes daily backups and a dedicated IP.
For most business websites, blogs and small shops, shared hosting (from KSh 80/month) is all you need. Move to a VPS when you need CPU and RAM reserved for you, root access or custom software, or when you run busy WooCommerce stores, APIs or many client sites. Still unsure? Read our guide on when to upgrade, and remember that we migrate you free whichever you choose.
Yes. Every SiteBoma VPS plan can be paid with M-Pesa on Paystack's secure checkout page. Type in your M-Pesa number, approve the prompt that appears on your phone, and your server is set up automatically within minutes of the payment being confirmed.
You can pick Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 LTS, Debian 12, AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 9 or CentOS Stream. Windows Server can be supplied on request at extra cost.
Some familiarity with the Linux command line helps. If you would rather spend your time on your business, choose our Managed VPS option and we will look after everything for you.
Yes. RAM, CPU and disk upgrades happen live: we resize your VPS with one reboot, which usually takes less than 2 minutes, and nothing has to be migrated.
Yes. Each VPS has at least one dedicated IPv4 address and unlimited IPv6. Extra IPv4 addresses can be bought if you need them for several sites or for SSL.
The specs are much the same. The difference is that SiteBoma charges in KSh with no currency conversion, takes M-Pesa, offers support on Kenyan time, and adds semi-managed service and daily backups without charging extra.
