Serving Tanzanian businesses

Hosting with support in Kiswahili, not only English

For a business in Tanzania, hosting has usually meant picking between two awkward options. A provider abroad may be capable, but it is remote, answering tickets while you sleep and puzzled by a .co.tz. A local reseller understands the market, then delivers a site without a control panel, without backups and without any way to see whether it is up.

We occupy the space between them, helped by being near. Tanzania and Kenya keep the same clock, belong to the same trading bloc and share a working language, and our Nairobi team supports you in Kiswahili or English. You explain the problem in your own words, which counts for a lot when something fails at four in the afternoon.

The hosting itself is professional and unshowy: LiteSpeed and NVMe storage, DirectAdmin, SSL that is free and renews on its own, daily backups you can restore yourself, and email at your domain. You see prices in US dollars, with no VAT added.

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 Tanzania

Safari and tour companies

Operators in Arusha, Zanzibar and the Serengeti with overseas enquiries and pages that must load quickly over slow connections.

Freight and logistics

Clearing firms, transporters and port agents in Dar es Salaam putting rates, tracking and contacts online.

Farming and export

Exporters of cashews, coffee, spices and horticultural goods showing certificates and information for buyers.

Professional firms

Lawyers, accountants and consultants in Dar and Dodoma who need a credible web address and proper email.

Schools and colleges

Portals for parents, results and admissions. We offer .ac.tz, the lowest-priced of the Tanzanian extensions.

NGOs and community groups

Groups on .or.tz wanting a domain of their own, published reports and pages for donors.

Where your site is physically hosted

Your site is served from our hosting server in the United Kingdom. The people answering your live chat, email and tickets work in Nairobi, 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 Tanzania

  • East Africa Time, UTC+3: no difference from Nairobi, so whenever our team is working, so are you
  • Our team replies in Kiswahili and English
  • Visitors on Vodacom and Airtel and Halotel and Yas open your site the same way they open any other
  • Covering Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Arusha, Mwanza, Zanzibar City, Mbeya

Domains for Tanzania

As well as .com, .org and 200+ other extensions, we can register the ones that belong to Tanzania. 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
.ac.tz KSh 1,950$15.00/yr KSh 1,950$15.00/yr KSh 1,950$15.00/yr Check
.co.tz KSh 2,310$17.77/yr KSh 2,310$17.77/yr KSh 2,310$17.77/yr Check
.or.tz KSh 3,600$27.69/yr KSh 3,600$27.69/yr KSh 3,600$27.69/yr Check
.tz KSh 6,500$50.00/yr KSh 6,500$50.00/yr KSh 6,500$50.00/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 Tanzania

Ways to pay

  • Visa or Mastercard on Paystack's secure checkout page. From Tanzania this is the usual way to pay, and you need nothing extra to use it.
  • Prices display in US dollars. The actual charge is made in Kenyan shillings (KES), and your bank changes Tanzanian shillings into KES at an exchange rate it sets.
  • 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. No Tanzanian mobile money service works at checkout, Vodacom M-Pesa included: it carries the same name as the Kenyan service, but it is a different system and we cannot bill through it. 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 Tanzania

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 Tanzania ask us

It does not, and since the shared name causes real confusion, here is why. Vodacom M-Pesa in Tanzania and Safaricom M-Pesa in Kenya are two separate systems, and our checkout only connects to the Kenyan one. Mixx by Yas (formerly Tigo Pesa), Airtel Money and Halopesa cannot be used either. From Tanzania you can pay by Visa or Mastercard on Paystack's secure checkout page, or by bank transfer for a yearly invoice if you ask us on live chat.

We can. Its live price sits in the table above, next to .ac.tz, .or.tz and .tz. Our team arranges Tanzanian extensions by hand rather than selling them instantly at checkout, so allow around one business day: the invoice reaches you first, then we confirm when registration is complete. Of the four, .ac.tz is the cheapest and is meant for educational institutions, while .or.tz is the one for NGOs and associations.

You can. Our Nairobi support team uses Kiswahili and English daily, so start a chat in whichever you prefer and expect a sensible reply. We do not claim around-the-clock native coverage of every East African language. What you get is Kiswahili and English, from real people, during Kenyan business hours, with tickets handled outside those hours.

Our hosting server is in the UK. A visitor's own network has the biggest effect on how fast your site feels in Tanzania, which is why we publish real minute-by-minute measurements on our status page rather than a made-up number.

No. Moving is free on every paid plan and follows a fixed order designed to prevent downtime. We copy your files, databases and email to our server and test them there, while your current host goes on serving visitors. After you check the preview link and confirm it looks right, the domain is repointed, and not before.

Whichever you need. Hosting, domains, email and SSL make up the standard package. When there is no site yet, or the current one is letting you down, our team will build one through our website design service and host it for you. Starting with hosting and a migration and coming back for a rebuild later works just as well.
