Dedicated Server Hosting in Uganda

Yes. A dedicated server is single-tenant — every core, gigabyte, and disk belongs to your machine alone. Nothing is shared, virtualized, or oversold.

Absolutely. Install VMware, Proxmox, or any hypervisor and partition the hardware however you like. It's your machine.

Any Linux distribution, Windows Server, or a hypervisor of your choice. You can also bring your own image.

Yes. Every server includes IPMI/BMC access so you can power-cycle, reinstall, and reach the console independently of the operating system.

Yes. Adjust CPU, memory, storage, and RAID, and add IPv4s, bandwidth, or managed services. Tell us your workload and we'll propose a build.

Yes, as an add-on. We can handle OS management, patching, and monitoring so your team can focus on the application rather than the hardware.

In ug-1a, our Kampala region. The machine is provisioned there and stays there unless you move it.

Core 1 is UGX 1,151,000 a month with a one-time setup fee of UGX 369,000. The line runs through Core 2 at UGX 1,412,000, Core 3 at UGX 1,971,000, Core 4 at UGX 2,902,000 and Core 5 at UGX 3,833,000 to Core 6 at UGX 4,839,000 a month, with setup fees of UGX 369,000, UGX 555,000 or UGX 741,000 depending on the configuration. Anything beyond Core 6 is quoted to your specification. Prices exclude VAT.

The first month plus the one-time setup fee, so a Core 1 first invoice is UGX 1,520,000 and a Core 3 first invoice is UGX 2,526,000. Every invoice after that is the monthly rate alone, with VAT at 18% added at checkout.

MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, bank transfer or card, all in shillings. For a first invoice in seven figures most Ugandan finance teams settle by transfer, because that is how business-to-business money moves here and because it sits above ordinary wallet limits; the recurring monthly line is comfortable on any of the four.

Sometimes — with capital available, a five-year horizon and an engineer who can be at the machine within the hour, owning can be the right call. Price the whole journey before you decide, though. Uganda has no port, so the box is entered through Mombasa or Dar es Salaam, moved roughly a thousand kilometres inland, cleared into Uganda at Malaba, Busia or Mutukula, and only then racked — with freight, agents at both ends, duty and import VAT, weeks of lead time and an exchange rate moving underneath the purchase order the whole time. After that come power, cooling, spares, insurance, depreciation and disposal. Renting replaces that entire list with one shilling figure a month.

Ready Core configurations that are in stock come online within hours. Custom builds are quoted with a short lead time while the hardware is assembled and tested — still a fraction of the time it takes to land a machine of your own in Kampala.

Power, cooling, physical security, the network and hardware replacement — all of it inside the monthly figure instead of on your fuel account, your maintenance contracts and your weekend. What stays yours is root, IPMI, the operating system, the application and the data. The machine is still run your way; it is simply not run in your building.

Every core, thread, gigabyte of memory and disk in the machine is yours. There is no hypervisor in the way and no other customer on the box, so performance does not move because of somebody else's month-end batch. The Core line is RAID-1 usable SSD with a dedicated IPv4, a free /64 of IPv6, unlimited local traffic and out-of-band IPMI on every machine.

Yes. Beyond the six ready builds you can specify CPU, memory, storage and RAID level, add IPv4 addresses or bandwidth, and run any Linux distribution, Windows Server, or a hypervisor of your own. Managed cover for OS management, patching and monitoring is available as an add-on.

Displayed prices exclude VAT and Ugandan VAT of 18% is shown separately at checkout — URA's published list of taxable electronic services names web hosting explicitly, so the category is not in doubt. Send [email protected] your TIN and your registered name exactly as URA holds it before you order, along with any purchase-order reference. Ugandan input-VAT recovery turns on the purchase being supported by proper documentation, so it is worth five minutes at the order rather than a scramble at the year end. If EFRIS is part of your own invoicing flow, tell us what your accounts system needs to see while the account is being set up.

Possibly, and it is a question to settle before the first payment rather than at the first audit. Sections 83 and 84 of the Income Tax Act charge 15% on the gross of certain international payments and payments to non-resident service providers, subject to treaty relief, and from 1 July 2025 a 15% final withholding tax applies to income non-residents derive from digital services supplied to users in Uganda. Lineserve invoices Uganda from LINESERVE, INC. Take the treatment to your tax adviser and copy [email protected] so the invoicing matches how you remit.

Yes. Your data is held in Kampala and stays in-country, which gives you data residency for Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act. It is not moved out of Uganda without your instruction.

Compliance is yours as the controller — registration with the Personal Data Protection Office and its annual renewal, your notices, your lawful basis, and breach notification under section 23. What a Kampala machine gives you is residency: the personal data on it stays in Uganda, so the section 19 cross-border analysis and the transfer records the Office expects to inspect do not arise for it.

Dedicated is single-tenant physical hardware: full uncontended performance, custom RAID, provisioning in hours. Cloud Servers are virtualised, resize in a click and come online in under a minute. Plenty of Ugandan teams take both in ug-1a — a dedicated database tier for the sustained load, cloud instances for the peaks — and join them over private networking inside the region.

Yes. ug-1a in Kampala, ke-1a in Nairobi, tz-1a in Dar es Salaam and ng-1a in Lagos are all live on one account, one API and one bill. Treat personal data deliberately when you replicate: a copy of Ugandan personal data in another country is a transfer outside Uganda under section 19, and the Personal Data Protection Office expects the justification for it to be on file.

Through [email protected] and the ticket system on your account. Uganda runs on East Africa Time, UTC+3, all year with no daylight saving — the same clock as Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, and two hours ahead of Lagos, which is worth knowing when you schedule a maintenance window across regions.
