A VPS (virtual private server) gives you your own server with guaranteed CPU and RAM, full root access and the freedom to install anything. With Hostnali, VPS hosting for South African businesses starts at R 222 a month, priced in rand.
International VPS or African VPS?
We offer two kinds of VPS, and you can compare them side by side on our VPS hosting page:
- International VPS (Europe and USA) gives you the most CPU, RAM and storage for the price. It’s the best choice for most websites, development servers and heavy workloads.
- African VPS runs on servers in Africa, closer to users on the continent, starting at R 492 a month.

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 mobile app back ends.
- Automation with tools like n8n, and Docker containers.
- Development and testing servers for your team.
Choosing your size
- 1–2 vCPU, 2–4 GB RAM: one busy website, a small app or a development server.
- 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM: several websites, an online shop or business software for a small team.
- 8 or more vCPU, 16 GB RAM or more: large databases, many users at once, or several apps on one server.
You can upgrade later without reinstalling.
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 leave that to us, add the managed option at checkout, and add backups at the same time: VPS plans don’t include backups unless you choose them.
Pay by card or bank transfer, in rand. Order your VPS and it’s ready within minutes.
