Managed Server Hosting

    Your servers,
    professionally run.
    Wherever they need to be.

    Dedicated and virtual servers running Windows or Linux, provisioned, patched, monitored and backed up by us. Hosted in Europe, the United States, or here in Nairobi when your data has to stay in the country. Priced in KES.

    Choose where your data lives

    The service is identical in every region. What changes is the jurisdiction your data sits under, how far it is from your staff, and what it costs us to supply.

    What "managed" actually means

    Plenty of providers sell you a server and a password. Here is what we do instead, and, just as importantly, what we don't.

    Provisioning & Build

    We size the host, build it, and migrate your workloads onto it. Windows or Linux, physical or virtualised, you get a running environment, not a bare machine and a login.

    Patching & Hardening

    Operating-system updates applied on a tested schedule. Firewall policy, account lockdown, and remote access restricted to named administrators.

    24/7 Monitoring

    Availability, disk, memory and service checks running continuously. We find out before you do, and we tell you what we're doing about it.

    Backup Included

    Every virtual machine on your host is backed up, with an immutable offsite copy and a verified test restore each month.

    Isolation for Legacy Workloads

    Older systems that can no longer be patched run on their own network segment with no public address and no inbound remote access.

    Documentation & Reporting

    As-built documentation, a recovery runbook, and a monthly written report. If you leave, you leave with everything you need.

    Not included

    • Windows Server and SQL Server licences: you supply these, or we quote them separately as a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider
    • Application-level support for your line-of-business software
    • Development or database administration work
    • End-user helpdesk (available separately as a managed IT retainer)

    Windows licensing, explained before you buy

    This is where server projects go wrong and budgets get blown. We check it during scoping and put the answer in writing, so there are no surprises after the order.

    Licensed by the core

    Windows Server is licensed per physical core, with a minimum of 16 cores per server. We deliberately specify hosts with modest core counts so a standard licence covers them. A bigger box can quietly double your licence bill.

    Client Access Licences

    Every user or device connecting needs a CAL, and CALs must match or exceed the newest server version you run. Organisations running a newer server on older CALs are non-compliant today and usually don't know it.

    Bring your own, or we supply

    Your existing licences can usually move to a dedicated host. Licences bought with a previous server often cannot move at all. We verify which you hold, and can supply new ones as a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider.

    Still running Windows Server 2012?

    Microsoft's final security updates for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 end on 13 October 2026. After that date there is no supported way to patch it, at any price. That is not a reason to panic: almost nobody runs 2012 by choice, and the application keeping you there may not have a supported replacement yet. It is a reason to contain it properly: an isolated virtual machine, no public address, no inbound remote access, and a backup treated as the recovery plan. We do that as standard, and we will tell you what moving off it would actually involve.

    Data residency you can verify

    Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 · cross-border transfers · processor obligations

    If you are a bank, SACCO, hospital, insurer or a donor-funded organisation handling personal data, where your data physically sits is not a technical detail. It is a compliance position you may have to defend.

    Our Kenya region runs in Nairobi on infrastructure with Kenyan-allocated addresses and a Kenyan autonomous system number. We will give you the operator name and AS number so your compliance team can verify it independently, in about two minutes, without taking our word for it. We would encourage you to run the same check on anyone else you are considering. A surprising number of providers advertising "local hosting" resolve to data centres in Europe or the United States.

    Where we act as a data processor we sign a data processing agreement setting out what we do with your data, how long we keep it, and how you get it back. Our European region sits under GDPR, which is a defensible basis for cross-border transfer; our Kenya region keeps the question from arising at all.

    Live in about two weeks

    No hardware to import, no six-week lead time, no capital approval.

    Week 1

    Scoping & Licence Check

    We map what you're running, how much data it holds, and how quickly it must come back after a failure. We verify your Windows licences cover what you're about to deploy, before anything is provisioned.

    Week 1 to 2

    Build & Configure

    The host is provisioned in your chosen region, hardened, and virtual machines are built. Network segmentation is applied, including isolation for any legacy system.

    Migration & Test Restore

    Workloads move across. We run a live test restore and confirm the environment recovers before you rely on it, then agree your recovery time in writing.

    Run & Report

    Patching, monitoring, backup verification and a monthly written report. Quarterly disaster-recovery drills on Standard and above.

    A short scoping call establishes what you need, what your licences cover, and how quickly you'd need it back after a failure. You get a written quote, not a sales pitch.
