Short answer
At Hostnali, web hosting starts at TZS 47,960 a year for the Starter plan. Plans with more websites and a free domain cost more. Budget for a domain too (a .co.tz is TZS 41,800 a year), unless your plan includes one free.
What you pay for
| Plan | Websites | Free domain | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 | No | One small website or blog |
| Standard | 5 | Yes | A business site plus a blog or shop |
| Executive / Platinum | Unlimited | Yes | Agencies and several busy websites |
Every plan includes free SSL, unlimited email accounts, LiteSpeed caching, daily backups and 24/7 support. Live prices in Tanzania shillings are on the web hosting page; they update automatically from our billing system.
Other costs to plan for
- Domain: TZS 41,800 a year for a .co.tz, free for the first year with every plan except Starter.
- Website design: free if you build it yourself with WordPress; or see our web design packages.
- Extras: paid SSL certificates or more resources are only needed for special cases.
Why prices differ between hosts
The cheapest offer isn’t always the cheapest in the end. Check the renewal price, not just the first year; whether backups and SSL are included or charged extra; and whether the server uses fast NVMe storage. A slow, unreliable website costs you customers.
How to choose
- One website and a tight budget: cheap web hosting (Starter).
- A business website with email: Standard, which includes the domain.
- Several websites or clients: Executive or Platinum, or reseller hosting.
