Seven companies sell servers to businesses in Ethiopia. This page puts them next to each other: what each one is, where its servers are, what the same server costs on each, and what the price leaves out. Every figure is the one published on the provider's own site on 13 October 2026, linked at the foot of the page.
Three of the seven say their servers are inside the country, three host abroad and sell in Birr or to Ethiopian customers, and one does not say where its servers are. Where the server sits is the first thing to know about a price.
Ethiopia's first self-service cloud. Cloud VPS, app hosting from GitHub, managed PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB, S3-compatible storage, domains, business email and WireGuard networking, on hardware AletCloud owns and operates inside Ethio Telecom's Bole data centre in Addis Ababa. Priced in ETB before VAT, charged by the minute, topped up through Chapa with telebirr, a bank transfer or a card.
aletcloud.com/pricingAn Ethiopian internet and cloud provider, established in 2019. Sells cloud servers on infrastructure in Ethiopia in nine fixed sizes from 1 to 32 vCPU, each with a 2 Mbps internet uplink, a weekly backup, SSH or RDP access and a 99.95% availability figure. Priced by the month in ETB; the page does not say whether VAT is included.
zergaw.com/cloud-serverThe national carrier sells cloud servers, bare metal, web hosting, email, domains and SaaS through its hosting portal, with 10%, 15% and 25% off for quarterly, half-yearly and yearly terms. On the day this page was checked the cloud server category listed no products and no prices, so it is in the table of what the price leaves out but not in the price tables.
myportal.ethiotelecom.etAn Ethiopian DigitalOcean partner reselling droplets in ETB with 15% VAT included, in six sizes from 1 to 8 CPUs. The servers are in DigitalOcean's regions: the United States, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada and Bangladesh. Not in Ethiopia.
hahucloud.com/vpsAn Ethiopian web host selling VPS in Birr on servers in Europe, at DigitalOcean's London data centre and Hetzner's in Germany. Four sizes from 2 to 16 CPUs, each with 20 TB of transfer; daily backups are a paid add-on. When checked, the standard 2 CPU size was out of stock and the 4 CPU size on pre-order, with dearer Instant variants of both.
yegara.com/vpsCloud hosting marketed to Ethiopia from Johannesburg, with Lisbon and Lagos on the same account, in seven sizes from 1 to 6 vCPU. Priced in US dollars, from $10 a month; the site says it can be bought without an international bank card.
africloud.com/etManaged cPanel servers for Ethiopian businesses, from an office on Airport Road in Addis Ababa: a managed VPS with 1 GB of RAM and 100 GB of storage at 8,855 ETB a month, and a dedicated server at 37,835. Priced in US dollars, collected in Birr at the day's rate, billed a year at a time; telebirr accepted. A managed product rather than a self-service cloud, so it is on this list and not in the size tables.
technobros.net/managed-serversFive sizes, from the smallest each provider sells up to 16 vCPU with 32 GB of RAM, at the price each one printed on 13 October 2026. Servers in Ethiopia come first, then abroad. Nothing is converted or normalised; where a price includes VAT, a public IP is shared or a size could not be bought that day, the row says so.

Among the providers with servers in Ethiopia, AletCloud is the lower published price at every size in the tables, and Ethio Telecom publishes none. One caveat: AletCloud's figures are before VAT and Zergaw's page does not say whether its figures include it. If they do, the two are within the 15% of each other at the two largest sizes, and Zergaw's all-in figure would be the lower one there.
Yegara Host prints a lower Birr figure than AletCloud at every size. Its servers are in London and Germany, two of its four sizes could not be bought on the day, and backups are extra. If where the data sits and the round trip from Addis do not matter to you, it is the lowest figure on this page.
HahuCloud is the highest figure at every size it lists, VAT included, for a server abroad. Africloud is in dollars, so what it costs in Birr depends on the day's rate and on how you pay. Zergaw and AletCloud are the two self-service choices inside the country, and the gap between them narrows as the servers get bigger.
Where the servers are, how the bill is counted, what the network is, what happens to the data, and what else the account can run. "Not stated" means the page compared does not say; "Not found" means it has no link to it; "Not published" means the figure is not on it.

Each provider's own page, read on 13 October 2026 and printed as found: nothing converted, nothing normalised for VAT, nothing estimated. If a figure here is wrong or has moved, send the page that says so to support@aletcloud.com and the table is corrected.
Not in the tables: Ashewa Cloud sells shared hosting by the year rather than servers, and Techno Bros sells managed cPanel servers billed yearly. AWS, Azure and Google Cloud have no region in Ethiopia and bill in dollars; their nearest regions are Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Ask us something elseThree on this page: AletCloud, on its own hardware in Ethio Telecom's Bole data centre in Addis Ababa; Zergaw Cloud, on infrastructure in Ethiopia; and Ethio Telecom itself. HahuCloud, Yegara Host and Africloud sell to Ethiopia in Birr or in dollars but host abroad: in DigitalOcean's regions, in London and Germany, and in Johannesburg.
AletCloud: the wallet is topped up through Chapa, which takes telebirr, a bank transfer or a card, and the account can launch a server the moment the top-up lands. Techno Bros lists telebirr too. The other pages compared do not say how they are paid, so ask before you order.
By the figures printed on 13 October 2026, Yegara Host's 2 CPU, 4 GB server at 2,950 Birr a month is the lowest in the tables, on a server in Europe that was out of stock that day. Among providers with servers in Ethiopia, AletCloud's Pro at 4,500 ETB before VAT is the lowest at that size, its Nano at 2,400 ETB is the smallest server on the page, and Zergaw's smallest is 3,272, VAT not stated.
None of the four has a region in Ethiopia, and all of them bill in US dollars to a card that can settle abroad, which most Ethiopian cards cannot do without a foreign-exchange approval. HahuCloud resells DigitalOcean in ETB on servers abroad. AletCloud runs its own servers in Addis Ababa and is paid in Birr.
As each provider prints them. AletCloud's figures are before VAT; 15% is added when the wallet is topped up. HahuCloud's include 15% VAT. Zergaw's and Yegara's pages do not say. Africloud's are in US dollars, with no Ethiopian VAT on the page.
Yes, through its hosting portal, alongside bare metal, web hosting, email, domains and SaaS, with 10%, 15% and 25% off for quarterly, half-yearly and yearly terms. On the day this page was checked the cloud server category listed no products and no prices, so a quote means asking.
Every figure was read off the provider's own page on 13 October 2026 and is printed as found: nothing converted, nothing normalised for VAT, nothing estimated. The pages are linked above.
