Built for people who ship websites

Beginners get cPanel and a site builder. Developers get a real shell. Nobody pays extra for either.

NVMe SSD storage

Databases and PHP pages read from NVMe drives, so WooCommerce carts and admin dashboards stay quick under load.

Git and SSH

Clone from GitHub, pull updates over SSH and run Composer or WP-CLI from the terminal instead of juggling FTP.

Node.js and Python apps

Run an Express API or a Django or Flask app beside your PHP site from cPanel's application manager.

PHP 8.1 to 8.3+

Set the PHP version per site, so an older CMS and a new Laravel build can share one account.

Email on your domain

Unlimited mailboxes with webmail, IMAP and POP3 that work in Outlook, Apple Mail and phone apps.

Free migration

Why not just use an offshore host?

Big international hosts work until you need to pay without a dollar card, register a local domain, or reach support in your time zone.

Shared hosting questions

Why is shared hosting billed yearly only?

Annual billing keeps the price low and means your site never goes offline over a missed monthly payment. Choose 1, 2 or 3 years at checkout and you won't see a renewal invoice until the term ends.

Which plan should I start with?

One website with email: CloudNest. A handful of sites: GreenLeaf or RiverFlow. An agency or growing portfolio: OceanLite, with 10 websites on 100 GB NVMe. Basic suits a landing page or test site.

Can I pay without an international card?

Yes. Alongside Visa and Mastercard we accept bank transfer and mobile money, and our country pages bill in local currency through gateways such as M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, Paystack and PayFast.

Can I run Node.js or Python apps?

Yes. Every plan includes Node.js and Python app support, SSH and terminal access, Git, WP-CLI and PHP 8.1 to 8.3+. Root access isn't available on shared servers.

Will you move my site from my current host?

Yes. If your current host uses cPanel, our team migrates your files, databases and email free of charge.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Shared hosting comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
