Our verdict
Servercore suits teams that want a cloud in Kenya with pricing in local currency, plus object storage and managed Kubernetes in one account. The trade-off is footprint and control plane cost: 4 locations and a control plane at €21.89 to €25.98 with no free control plane.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The entry plan at KES 395 bundles 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB Network-Universal SSD
- Object storage is S3-compatible at €0.02 to €0.027 per GB per month, with egress at €0.016 to €0.02
- GPU servers start at €0.96 per hour across NVIDIA RTX A5000, NVIDIA A100 and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000
- Terms cover hourly and monthly billing, and DDoS protection is included on cloud servers
Cons
- Placement is limited to KE, KZ and UZ, which narrows choice for audiences on other continents
- Managed Kubernetes charges a control plane fee of €21.89 to €25.98, and the highly available option runs at €91.80 to €108.50
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only
Who it suits
- Teams serving Kenyan users who want a provider registered in Kenya
- Engineers who need compute, S3-compatible object storage and managed Kubernetes in one account
- GPU jobs that run in bursts, since GPU billing is hourly
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want to budget in euros rather than shillings: Aruba lists €1.99
- Readers who need a rouble or dollar comparison point: SberCloud lists RUB 23.75 and UCloud $5.34
- Workloads that need placement across many continents, since coverage is KE, KZ and UZ
What it does well
The entry plan pairs 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB Network-Universal SSD with 3 TB of free traffic, 100 Mbps port, so the smallest server already carries a generous allowance. Capacity sits in Kenya, KZ and UZ across 4 locations, which keeps a Kenyan workload close to local users while still allowing a Central Asian placement when latency elsewhere matters more.
Who runs it
Servercore Africa Ltd is the operating entity behind the platform, registered in Kenya, so contracts and billing follow that market. Support runs through email, chat and help centre, pairing a help centre and community with email and chat, which answers most questions without a voice channel.

Frequently asked questions
What does the cheapest server cost, and what comes with it?+
The entry plan is listed at KES 395 and includes 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB Network-Universal SSD. Traffic is included at 3 TB of free traffic, 100 Mbps port, so a small service does not pick up an egress bill in its first month. Hourly and monthly terms are both offered.
Is outgoing traffic free across the services?+
Cloud servers include 3 TB of free traffic, 100 Mbps port and GPU servers carry Free (unlimited traffic on a 100 Mbps port). Object storage is the exception, where egress costs €0.016 to €0.02 per GB, so heavy bucket downloads are billed as traffic leaves the platform.
How much is object storage, and is it S3-compatible?+
Object storage costs €0.02 to €0.027 per GB per month and speaks the S3 interface, so existing tools can connect without changes. Buckets sit in 3 regions, and object storage is the only storage type listed.
Is managed Kubernetes free to run?+
A free control plane is not offered. The control plane is priced at €21.89 to €25.98, and the highly available version at €91.80 to €108.50. Clusters reach 1,500 nodes, with nodes starting at KES 4,876 for compute alongside it.
Which countries can I deploy to?+
Cloud servers run in Kenya, KZ and UZ across 4 locations. That places a Kenyan audience on local capacity, with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan available when a different region suits the workload or its users.
Which GPUs are available and how are they billed?+
The GPU range covers NVIDIA RTX A5000, NVIDIA A100 and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000, billed hourly from €0.96 per hour. Those servers carry Free (unlimited traffic on a 100 Mbps port), so a training job that pulls data out does not add a separate charge for moving datasets.
Which database engines can I run?+
Managed databases cover PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis, so relational, cache, streaming and time series workloads sit in the same account as the compute. Adding a database does not mean adding another provider to the bill.
What certifications and uptime can I rely on?+
The platform is audited under ISO 27001, PCI DSS 4.0.1 and ISO 14001, and DDoS protection is included on cloud servers. An uptime commitment of 99.98% is published for the same servers, which is worth checking against your own tolerance for downtime.
