Dedicated virtual machines from the Kigali availability zone. Full root access, NVMe SSD storage, dedicated vCPUs, deploy in 60 seconds. From $12/mo.
Megabit Cloud operates dedicated cloud servers from our Kigali, Rwanda availability zone. Deploy any Linux distribution in 60 seconds. Full root access, configure, scale, and manage your server exactly as you need.
Unlike shared hosting, cloud servers give you dedicated vCPUs, guaranteed RAM, and NVMe SSD storage. Suitable for web applications, APIs, databases, game servers, CI/CD pipelines, and any workload that needs consistent performance.
Rwandan organisations and businesses across these sectors rely on this service.
Rwanda's mobile money ecosystem, MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money Rwanda, processes billions of RwF transactions daily. Fintech companies integrating with BNR-regulated payment infrastructure need Kigali AZ Cloud Servers for sub-10 ms API response times and Rwanda Data Protection Law compliance.
RURA-licensed telecommunications operators and ISPs in Rwanda run billing systems, RADIUS servers, and network management platforms on virtual machines. Kigali AZ deployment reduces transit costs on KIGALI-IX-peered routes and keeps core network data within Rwanda.
Rwanda's ambitious e-government agenda, Irembo citizen services, RRA tax portal, land registry, requires scalable virtual infrastructure within Rwanda. MINICT cloud strategy mandates that government workloads use Rwanda-based cloud infrastructure where available.
Kigali's Kigali Innovation City and BK Arena tech cluster are producing SaaS companies building tools for the African market. Rwanda-based Cloud Servers gives them KIFC regulatory alignment, NDPR-equivalent Rwanda Data Protection Law compliance, and the sovereign credentials enterprise clients require.

Yes. Megabit Cloud cloud servers run from the Kigali availability zone. Your server data stays within Rwanda, and you get the lowest latency to users in Rwanda and the region.
You can deploy Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and other popular Linux distributions. Custom ISOs are also supported.
Yes. You can scale CPU, RAM, and storage from the control panel. Vertical scaling typically requires a brief restart.
Yes. All Megabit Cloud Servers include 1 Tbps+ DDoS protection at the network edge. Volumetric, protocol, and application-layer attack mitigation is included by default.
Cloud hosting is managed, we handle the server, OS, and stack. A cloud server gives you a dedicated virtual machine with full root access where you manage the software yourself. Cloud servers are better for developers; cloud hosting is better for businesses that want a managed environment.
