HOSTAFRICA, a leading provider of hosting solutions based in South Africa, has successfully acquired the web hosting business of Lenasi Hosting, a rapidly growing web hosting company located in Kenya. This strategic move reflects HOSTAFRICA's commitment to expanding its influence across Africa and enriching its diverse range of product offerings. Following previous acquisitions in Kenya, including EAC Directory in December 2022 and, most recently, Sasahost, this development marks HOSTAFRICA's third significant acquisition in the region.
Kenya stands out as a burgeoning technological hub within Africa, and the acquisition of Lenasi Hosting, a proven performer in Kenya's thriving digital sector, aligns with HOSTAFRICA's vision to enhance its global performance. Michael Osterloh, CEO of HOSTAFRICA, emphasized the strategic significance of the move, stating, "This acquisition is a strategic step for us as we look to amplify our global performance while enhancing local Twende Kazi (meaning 'let's work') spirit to our offerings. We believe this union will marry our technological prowess with the local specifics to bring even greater returns for our clients."
Lenasi Hosting, with a seven-year track record, has been delivering exceptional domain registration and web hosting services to businesses in Kenya. The company's commitment to customer satisfaction and innovative solutions has established it as a reliable partner, supporting businesses in thriving within the digital space. HOSTAFRICA aims to build on this legacy by expanding its product range and providing excellent, specialized support.
Newton Mwaniki, CEO of Lenasi Hosting, expressed optimism about the acquisition: "This acquisition is a strategic move that will benefit both Lenasi and HOSTAFRICA. Lenasi has built a strong reputation and loyal customer base in the web hosting market, while HOSTAFRICA has the scale, reach and innovation to take it to the next level."
Lenasi Hosting will be seamlessly integrated under the HOSTAFRICA brand, bringing forth several key changes, including enhanced customer support and an improved selection of products and services.
