How do I choose where to host my project in Africa?

It all depends on your project. The question "which country, which datacenter" doesn't have a single answer: it depends on who your users are and your constraints. This is precisely the role of managed hosting consulting, and we look at this with you. Two main scenarios.

Is your project targeting a single country?

This is the simple case. If your website or business application serves users in a single country, there's no hesitation: we host in that country, as close as possible to your users. For resilience, your backups are placed outside that country, in Africa or Europe depending on your choice and your legal constraints. Your primary data stays with you, your backup copy is elsewhere.

Is your project multi-country?

As soon as several countries come into play, the parameters multiply: latency to optimize market by market, regulatory obligations specific to each country, distribution for resilience, backup architecture. There's no one-size-fits-all answer. This is when we like to sit down with you. We start from your project, your users, your legal constraints, and we build the infrastructure that makes sense together.

How we proceed

The starting point is always the same questions:

Who are your users, and in which countries?
What data do you process, and what obligations apply country by country?
What level of continuity are you aiming for?
Where to place your backups, based on your legal constraints and your preference?

Based on your answers, we propose an infrastructure, and adjust it with you. You decide.
