Pros and cons

Pros

  • The entry plan costs AOA 27,000 a month and ships with 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD plus 4 TB of traffic.
  • Hosting sits in a TIER III data centre certified facility (TIER III data centre certification), a detail procurement teams tend to ask about.
  • Support reaches you on email, chat and phone, so a phone call sits alongside email and a help centre.
  • Both Linux and Windows are offered (linux and windows), so mixed stacks can stay with one provider.

Cons

  • Everything runs in a single location (1), so users far from Angola pay for the distance in latency.
  • Billing is monthly (monthly) only, so a short test still costs a full month.
  • Only virtual servers are sold (vps), so bare metal buyers have to look elsewhere.

Scored 8.7 / 10 by DeployCue.

Who it suits

  • Angolan businesses that want their visitors served from close range
  • Small teams needing Linux or Windows instances with phone support available
  • Anyone who prefers a fixed monthly bill to hourly metering

Who should look elsewhere

  • Shoppers who compare purely on sticker price: Aruba lists entry plans at €1.99 and UCloud at $5.34.
  • Buyers wanting hourly or reserved terms, since Centro AO bills monthly; SberCloud's entry plans start at RUB 23.75.

Core features

The catalogue is a single VPS line. The entry plan (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD) carries 4 TB of traffic, which is the figure most buyers start with. Placement matters just as much: 1 location, so a site serving Angolan visitors gets short routes while anyone outside the country inherits the distance.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the cheapest VPS cost?+

The entry plan (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD) is AOA 27,000 a month, and billing runs monthly. The traffic allowance attached to that plan is 4 TB. That monthly amount is the figure to budget, since the VPS line is listed on monthly terms.

What operating systems can I run?+

Both Linux and Windows are offered (linux and windows), so a site needing Windows for a particular application does not have to split hosting between two providers. The catalogue covers virtual servers only (vps), so those two operating systems are the full range.

Where are the servers located?+

All Centro AO instances sit in 1 location, and the company is registered in Angola as Centrik Investments - Comercio e Serviços, Lda. Buyers with users outside Angola should weigh the extra distance before committing, while those serving Angolan traffic get the short route.

What support is available?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone, so email, chat, phone and a help centre are all in place. The published uptime commitment is 99.9%, which is worth holding the provider to when the workload sits behind something customer facing.

Does the data centre hold any certifications?+

The facility carries TIER III data centre certification (TIER III data centre certification), the kind of detail procurement teams ask about. Ask the provider directly if a specific framework is required, since that is the certification on record.

How does the entry price compare with the alternatives?+

Entry plans start at €1.99 on Aruba, $5.34 on UCloud and RUB 23.75 on SberCloud. Those figures sit in different currencies, so the monthly amount of AOA 27,000 needs converting before any ranking makes sense.

Can I pay hourly instead of monthly?+

No, billing runs monthly, so a short trial or weekend project is still charged for a full month. Hourly or reserved terms belong with a provider that lists them, and the monthly model suits steady, always-on sites.

Who is behind Centro AO?+

The provider is Centrik Investments - Comercio e Serviços, Lda (Centrik Investments - Comercio e Serviços, Lda), founded in 2020. Knowing which company holds the account matters for a local provider, where the operator is part of the purchase decision.
