Hosted Git services bill per seat and meter CI minutes. Self-hosted GitLab Community Edition is free software: the repositories are unlimited, the pipelines run on your own server, and adding the fifth developer costs nothing.
For agencies and in-house teams there is a second reason. Client code, deployment keys and environment secrets all live in the same place, and some clients would rather that place were a server you can point at than an account on someone else’s platform.
Runners can live on the same machine for a small team, or on a second VPS once pipelines start competing with the web interface for memory.
The entry VPS is enough for a single instance with a handful of users: 2 vCPU and 4 GB of RAM run most of these applications comfortably alongside a database.
Step up a plan when you are running more than one service on the same box, or when the database grows past a few gigabytes. Memory is usually what runs out first, not CPU.
The larger plans carry enough cores and memory for production workloads, CI runners and analytics. You can move up a plan at any time without rebuilding the server.
Every VPS is unmanaged unless you say otherwise, which is what keeps the price where it is: you have root, you choose the stack, and you patch it on your schedule.
If you would rather not, add Managed at checkout and our team handles operating-system updates, monitoring and the routine problems. You can also add backup storage by the terabyte and an additional IPv4 address from the same screen.
Guaranteed vCPU and memory, not shared out when a neighbour gets busy.
Install any version, any dependency, any service the application needs.
Attack traffic is filtered before it reaches your server, at no extra cost.
Support by ticket and live chat, and a managed option if you want one.
Same server, different job.
Community Edition is free software and runs on any of our plans with enough memory. Enterprise Edition is a license you buy from GitLab; the server side is the same.
Yes, for a small team. Once pipelines slow the web interface down, move the runner to a second VPS — that is cheaper than upsizing one machine to do both.
Plans start at Ksh 1,480. Every plan above shows its cores, memory and storage with prices in Kenyan shillings, and you can switch between monthly and yearly billing.
The VPS is unmanaged by default, so GitLab is yours to install — it takes a few minutes on a clean server. If you would rather we did it, add the managed option at checkout or open a ticket and our team will set it up.
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is the safest default and has the most documentation. Debian 11, AlmaLinux 9 and Rocky Linux 9 are there too, and all of them are selected at checkout at no extra cost.
Yes, full root. The machine is yours: install what you like, tune what you like.
Yes. Backup storage is a checkout option, priced by the terabyte, and you can add it later from the client area. Nothing is backed up automatically unless you add it.
In international data centres. There is no Kenya-located VPS and no Kenyan IP address; if your workload has to sit in a particular country we will say so plainly rather than sell you something that does not.
