Talk to KDN, I have leased 2 virtual servers from them and so far so good. Overheard they have invested heavily on this field. Below are the few but very critical facts that pulled me to hosting with them. - The have a redundant site at Mombasa through Vmotion and both running off fibre. - The prices match international rates. - Deployment takes seconds (the systems techies there seem to know their stuff) - They offered me extra backup through Nettap (at a small fee) On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 9:17 PM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

As regards KDN What OSes are available? Are the servers managed? Can I install whatever I want? (say I want to use Nginx instead of Apache)? What does it cost? Thanks!!

Thanks Moses, is there any other company for comparison reasons? On 16 June 2010 12:43, Moses Ngatia <mosez.ngatia@gmail.com> wrote:

Kelvin,

As far as am concerned, I manage my own servers and install whatever I need without having to call them. About the cost, it all depends on your hardware requirements.

Am suprised, not so many companies are doing this in Kenya, KDN are actually just starting out, whereas most of the others only do storage...Maybe someone on this list with deep pockets can venture here. @Musya, about 80K a month for 2 Servers, 500 GB and 1MB link On 17 June 2010 12:44, Musya mike <mmycool@gmail.com> wrote:

Interesting thread...At what rates(Ksh) are these services available locally?For the benefit of all members please.

Boss, still too expensive if you ask me; with fibre and all you can still host at places like www.linnode.com for *much* cheaper and much more bandwidth...
