Afribone Mali SA review

The VPS is sized per order rather than listed as fixed tiers: Up to 8 vCPU, custom RAM and storage. RAM and storage follow the workload, so a small site and a busy application land on different configurations. A buyer who wants a published spec and a listed price finds preset plans easier to compare.

Servers sit in 5 locations across ML, CI and SN. The headquarters is in Mali, and the spread reaches past it to France. For visitors in West Africa, a nearby node keeps latency lower than one placed far from them.

The only billing model listed is reserved. That suits a service or a site with steady demand you can commit to, and it keeps a usage bill out of the picture. A short pilot or a workload with unpredictable traffic is better served by pay as you go.

The listed operating system is linux. Linux covers most web stacks, containers and self hosted applications, so a standard deployment runs without changes. A Windows workload, or a control panel that only ships for Windows, sits outside this offer.

Yes, DDoS protection is part of the virtual private server package, so it does not have to be bought as a separate add-on. The servers are described as Up to 8 vCPU, custom RAM and storage, and the protection sits with the server rather than a separate product.

Support runs on email, phone and help centre. Email covers written questions and ticket history, phone suits a production outage where a voice call beats a message, and the help centre holds self service material. Live chat is not among the listed options, so urgent work goes by phone or email.

The legal entity is Afribone Mali SA, headquartered in Mali and operating since 1998. A record that long counts for something in a region where few data centre operators have held a footprint. The account sits with the operator itself rather than a reseller.
