A VPS (virtual private server) gives you a server of your own with guaranteed CPU and RAM, full root access and the freedom to install whatever you need. With Hostnali, VPS hosting for Ethiopia starts at ₵148 a month, billed in birr.
Where the servers are
Our VPS plans run on international servers in Europe and the USA. They offer plenty of CPU, RAM and storage for the price, which suits websites with visitors in Ethiopia and abroad, development servers, business software and demanding workloads.
You can compare every plan on our VPS hosting page, and switch between monthly and yearly billing there.

What people run on a VPS
- Busy websites and online shops that have outgrown shared hosting.
- Business software such as ERP, accounting and CRM systems.
- Apps and APIs, including payment integrations and back ends for mobile apps.
- Automation with tools like n8n, and Docker containers.
- Trading platforms on a forex VPS, or Windows software on a Windows VPS.
- Development and testing servers for your team.
Choosing your size
- Starter VPS (4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM): one or more busy websites, an online shop, a small app or a development server.
- Standard VPS (6 vCPU, 12 GB RAM): several websites, business software for a growing team, or a handful of apps on one server.
- Executive VPS (8 vCPU, 24 GB RAM) and up: large databases, many users at the same time, or several heavy apps on one server.

Managed or self-managed?
Our VPS plans are self-managed by default: you get full root access and look after the server yourself. If you’d rather we handled that, add the managed option at checkout (see managed VPS), and add backups at the same time: VPS plans don’t include backups unless you choose them. VPS plans aren’t covered by the money-back guarantee.
Pay by card, bank transfer or mobile money, in birr. Order your VPS and it’s ready within minutes.
