FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I pay for hosting in Tanzania?
TSh 25,000-100,000/month is the sweet spot for most small business sites. Avoid cheap hosting under TSh 15,000/month (poor quality) and expensive VPS (TSh 200,000+/month) unless you have a high-traffic site.
What is the best hosting for WordPress in Tanzania?
WordPress-optimized hosting with LiteSpeed, SSD, automatic updates, and daily backups. Primezone Web Host offers this from TSh 50,000/month with free M-Pesa payment and 24/7 local support.
Do I need VPS or is shared hosting enough?
Shared is enough for sites under 50,000 visitors/month. VPS is needed for ecommerce, high traffic, custom apps, or sites with specific security/compliance requirements.
Can I pay hosting with M-Pesa?
Yes. Primezone Web Host accepts M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money, and bank transfer. International clients can pay via PayPal or card.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes — 30-day money-back guarantee on most plans. If you are not happy, request a refund within 30 days, no questions asked.
Can I migrate from my current host for free?
Yes. Most Tanzanian hosts (including Primezone) offer free migration. Just provide your old host login and they handle the rest, usually with zero downtime.
Do I need a .co.tz domain?
Not required, but recommended for Tanzanian businesses. A .co.tz domain signals local presence and can boost local SEO. .com is best for international reach. Both work.
