Frequently asked questions
How much does Safaricloud CI cost to start?+
The cPanel shared plan opens at XOF 4,000 for the first 12 months. That entry figure sits under the €2.95 median across the web hosting brands compared here, where the typical first year runs €1.75 to €5.81.
What does hosting cost after the first year?+
Safaricloud CI does not publish a renewal price, so the second year is not a number you can check ahead of time. Compare it against the field first: renewal prices across this set run €3.55 to €10.48, with a median of €6.14. Ask the provider for the renewal figure in writing.
What hosting types can I buy from Safaricloud CI?+
One account covers shared hosting, cloud VPS and reseller hosting. That means a shared plan, a cloud VPS, room to resell hosting, and business email for the same domain, which is convenient for a company that wants hosting and mail billed together.
Can I get my money back if I change my mind?+
Yes, the provider offers 30 days of money back coverage. That matches the 30 median across the brands on this site, and the wider web hosting set also sits at a 30 median, so the terms are typical rather than generous.
Where are the servers and how many sites can I run?+
Servers sit in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire and Europe, so West African visitors are served close to home. A single shared hosting account covers 3 to unlimited, which suits a small business running a main site alongside landing pages or client work.
What comes with the hosting plans?+
Every plan includes free ssl, backups and cdn, so certificates, backups, a content delivery network and email are part of the package rather than paid extras. Support runs on email, chat and phone, giving you a help centre, live chat, phone and email for troubleshooting.
Can I register a .com with Safaricloud CI?+
Yes, a .com costs XOF 10,000 in the first year, and free WHOIS privacy is included. The registrar carries from 500, so you can host your domain and your site in the same account and keep contact details private.
