     HostAfrica, a prominent web hosting provider, has further solidified its presence in Kenya with the acquisition of deepAfrica ’s domain and hosting assets. This strategic move marks HostAfrica’s fourth acquisition in the Kenyan market, reinforcing its commitment to expanding its footprint across the African continent.

    deepAfrica, founded in 2004, has established a reputation as a trusted web host, boasting a substantial customer base through its brands hostpoa.co.ke and Jijihost.com. The acquisition will see these assets integrated into HostAfrica’s operations, ensuring a seamless transition for deepAfrica’s existing clients.

    Michael Osterloh, CEO of HostAfrica, expressed his enthusiasm for the deal, stating, “This acquisition underscores our dedication to expanding our reach across Africa. deepAfrica’s strong reputation and valuable assets will undoubtedly enhance our service offerings and market presence.”

    HostAfrica’s growth strategy centers on consolidating a fragmented hosting market through strategic acquisitions of companies with a proven track record of excellent service. This approach has allowed the company to expand rapidly while maintaining high customer satisfaction levels.

    George Nyaswenta, owner of deepAfrica, shared his optimism about the acquisition by HostAfrica, saying, “Joining HostAfricaopens an exciting new chapter for our company and customers. Their extensive resources and unwavering commitment to high standards are a significant advantage for our clients.”

    Following the acquisition, deepAfrica will continue as a holding company for its construction and web design businesses. However, its hosting assets will be rebranded under the HostAfrica banner. deepAfrica’s clients can expect a smooth transition and continued access to high-quality services under the new ownership.

    The acquisition comes at a time of significant growth for the African startup ecosystem. A 2023 report ranked twelve African countries among the top 100 globally for startup activity, with South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria leading the charge. HostAfrica’s investment in key African markets positions the company to capitalize on this burgeoning digital landscape.

    Founded in 2008, HostAfrica has quickly emerged as a major player in Africa’s digital space. The company offers a wide array of online solutions, including website hosting, e-commerce platforms, and virtual private servers (VPS). With a strong commitment to customer support, HostAfrica has earned a 4.9 out of 5 rating on the customer review platform HelloPeter.

    As the African digital landscape continues to evolve, HostAfrica’s pioneering spirit and strategic investments are setting new benchmarks for web hosting services across the continent. The company’s ongoing commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction is redefining the web hosting industry in Africa.
