Hostraha review

The entry plan costs $24.99 a month and comes with 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD plus a 2 TB bandwidth allowance. Billing is monthly, so the figure you read at signup is the figure you keep paying at renewal, with no shorter cycle listed. You can weigh that starting point against €1.99 and $5.34.

The bandwidth allowance on the plans shown is 2 TB. For a busy application, a media site or anyone serving downloads, that ceiling matters more than the core count, so check it against your monthly transfer before you order. It sits with the 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD entry plan rather than as a separate charge.

Hostraha runs 3 locations covering KE, TZ and NG. That gives you East African options such as Kenya, Tanzania and Nigeria, which keeps latency short for local visitors. If your audience sits in Europe or the Americas, these regions do not shorten the distance, and you pay for a location that sits away from your users.

Both are offered, and the operating system list covers linux and windows. You can pick whichever suits the application, including a Windows server for software built for that platform. The 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD entry plan stays the reference point for the smaller package, so a mixed fleet is possible from the same provider.

DDoS protection is included. On certifications, the stated set is ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR, covering information security management, independent service audits and data protection. Teams answering a security questionnaire for clients or partners have named frameworks to point at, and the uptime target sits at 99.9% alongside them.

The stated uptime target is 99.9%, alongside a 2 TB bandwidth allowance on the entry plan. Compare that with your own tolerance for downtime, since a target at this level still leaves room for maintenance. Support runs on chat, email and phone, so an incident can reach a person quickly.

Support runs on chat, email and phone, so you can open a live chat, send email or pick up the phone. A phone line matters when a server is down and you want a person rather than a queue, while chat suits quick questions during working hours. The 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD entry plan is the smallest package the same team supports.

The server types on offer are vps and bare metal, so you can move up to dedicated hardware when a virtual instance stops being enough. The entry plan at $24.99 a month remains the smallest package listed, which makes it a straightforward place to start and scale within the same provider.
