About Lineserve
Africa deserves infrastructure that's actually here
Lineserve builds high-performance cloud infrastructure inside Africa — so the businesses building here don't have to route their data, their billing, and their support to another continent. Local infrastructure, held to global standards.
Why we exist
The cloud was never built with us in mind
For years, running a serious application in Africa meant renting infrastructure somewhere else. Your servers sat an ocean away. Your users waited on every round trip. Your invoices arrived in a foreign currency, and your support requests joined a queue in a timezone that wasn't yours.
That's not a small inconvenience — it's a tax on everyone trying to build here. Higher latency, forex friction, and data that lives under someone else's jurisdiction. The global clouds treat this continent as a distant edge region, if they serve it at all.
Lineserve exists to invert that. We put the infrastructure where the users are, bill in the currency businesses actually use, keep data on the continent, and answer support in the hours people are awake. Not a foreign cloud with a local label — infrastructure that's genuinely, physically local.
What we believe
The principles behind the platform
Local-first, by design
Latency, billing, support, and data residency built for this region from the ground up — not bolted on to a foreign platform.
Global standards, no compromise
Tier III facilities, real redundancy, and open, standard tooling. Local doesn't mean lesser.
We only claim what we can back
No inflated badges, no borrowed logos, no fabricated numbers. If we say it, it's true and we can prove it.
No lock-in
S3-compatible storage, standard APIs, open images. Your stack is yours; you can leave whenever you want.
Sovereignty matters
Your data belongs on the continent, under jurisdiction you understand. We help keep it there.
On the ground
Real hardware, in real facilities, today
This isn't a roadmap. It's infrastructure that's live and serving production workloads across the region.
3 live regions
Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, and Lagos, with more zones in progress.
Tier III facilities
Carrier-neutral data centres with redundant power and cooling.
Enterprise hardware
Owned servers in-facility, not resold slivers of someone else's cloud.
A full stack
Cloud servers, dedicated servers, object storage, and colocation, from one provider.
99.9% uptime SLA
On every service, backed by service credits.
Local billing
KES, TZS, and NGN, with M-Pesa and local payment methods.
Leadership
Founder-led and engineering-first
Lineserve is built by engineers who use what they ship. The people making decisions about your infrastructure are the same people who rack the hardware, write the control plane, and answer the hard support tickets.

What's next
More regions, more of the stack, same principles
We're expanding zone by zone across the continent, deepening the platform with managed services, and holding to the same rule as day one: put the infrastructure where the users are, and only ship what's genuinely ready.
