HostAfrica Gobbles Up Zanode Smoothing Developer Workflow

👾 Zanode Joins HostAfrica

  • HostAfrica is a massive pan-African cloud hosting provider built to empower local tech teams.

  • They just acquired application hosting platform Zanode for an undisclosed amount of money.

  • Remarkably, this transaction marks HostAfrica's second company acquisition in a single nine-day window.


👩‍💻 Built for Modern Devs

  • Built for developer-first, Zanode is an application hosting platform.

  • The platform provides a smooth workflow with easy GitHub integration and automatic framework detection.


📡 Built for South African

  • African developers and digital agencies routinely battle slow, laggy connections from offshore servers.

  • Paying in foreign currencies also makes monthly hosting bills highly volatile and expensive.

  • By keeping hosting local, teams avoid exchange rate surprises while boosting site loading speeds.


🤝 Expanding the Footprint

  • The unified team will integrate Zanode’s automated deployment tools directly into HostAfrica’s hosting packages.

  • This deal helps consolidate their cloud infrastructure presence in South Africa, and more parts in Africa.
