The eagle has landed.
After years of careful planning and execution, AfriCloud is live with its world-class VPS Hosting service, targetted at developers.
While VPS Hosting is not new and in wild abundance, the biggest differentiating factor with AfriCloud is its datacentre locations: African tech hub cities.
Africa, a continent with a population of over 1 billion people, is home to some 200 million internet users. On the flip-side however, most of Africa’s web content are hosted outside the shores of Africa. Thus, African users usually have to endure high latency when trying to enjoy multimedia content; developers have to make-do with VPSs hosted in North America or Western Europe etc.
AfriCloud aims to keep African content within Africa and improve the internet experience for developers, businesses and content consumers within the continent.
We are starting with our Lagos location today 7th June 2016. Other African tech hub cities are imminent.
This blog will aim to share the key stories from this journey.
