Web Hosting in Ethiopia from Br2,834/yr: What You Get

Web hosting in Ethiopia starts at ₵218 a year with Hostnali. For that, your website and business email get a fast, secure home. But the price is only part of the picture: what really counts is what the plan includes, and whether it will still fit when your business grows.

This guide explains our four web hosting plans, what each of them includes, and how to choose the right one.

What every plan includes

• NVMe SSD storage and LiteSpeed web servers. NVMe drives are several times faster than ordinary SSDs, and LiteSpeed delivers pages faster than Apache, particularly for WordPress.
• Free SSL certificates for every domain, installed automatically, so visitors see the padlock.
• Unlimited email accounts on your own domain, such as [email protected], in webmail, Outlook or on your phone.
• cPanel, the world’s most widely used hosting control panel, for files, databases, email and domains.
• Softaculous, which installs WordPress and hundreds of other apps in one click, plus LiteSpeed Cache, WordPress staging and automatic updates.
• Automatic daily backups: a daily, a weekly and a monthly restore point that you can restore yourself from cPanel.
• Node.js and Python support for developers, and SSH access on every plan except Starter.
• A 99.99% uptime guarantee and 24/7 support by live chat and tickets.

Which plan should you choose?

Starter is for a single website: a company profile, a personal blog or a portfolio. It has no free domain, so register one separately or use a domain you already own.

Standard is our most popular plan. It hosts up to five websites, gives you three times the storage and includes a free domain. It suits most small businesses in Addis Ababa, Hawassa and right across the country.

Executive and Platinum host unlimited websites with more RAM, storage and bandwidth. Pick one of them for an online shop, a busy blog, or if you build websites for clients. If you want to sell hosting under your own brand, look at reseller hosting instead.

You can upgrade at any time from the Client Area, and nothing is lost when you do.

Which domain?

Most Ethiopian businesses start with a .com (₵178 a year), and .africa, .org and .net are good alternatives. Ethiopia’s .et domains (such as .com.et) need an application to the Ethiopian registry; ask our team and we’ll help. See domain registration for every extension and price.

Paying for hosting in Ethiopia

You can pay by card, bank transfer or mobile money, in birr. Your account is set up once your payment is confirmed. Hosting plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee (domains aren’t refundable).

Moving from another host?

We move your website, databases and email from your current host for free, and time the switch so there is little or no downtime. Not sure what to look for in a host? Read why choose Hostnali or our guide to NVMe hosting in Ethiopia.
