AletCloud

AletCloud is a self-service cloud platform for Ethiopian developers, startups, businesses, and institutions that need locally hosted infrastructure and hosting in Addis Ababa.

Key capabilities include:

• Cloud VPS with full root access and a choice of Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Rocky, AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream, openSUSE), scaling from 1 vCPU up to 16, plus optional public IP add-ons.
• Git-based app hosting that connects to GitHub, detects common frameworks automatically (including React, Next.js, Django, Laravel, Spring Boot, Go, and static sites), and deploys on every push. Dockerfile builds are supported, and the website advertises the first app free.
• Managed databases for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB, with versions pinned to the selected minor release. Paid plans include automated daily backups with configurable retention, and the platform advertises one free database per account with no expiry.
• S3-compatible object storage with access keys, presigned URLs, and versioning, plus domain registration and DNS management, WireGuard private networking per account, and business email with browser access plus IMAP/SMTP.

Available on Web, with an MCP endpoint for AI-agent integrations at https://mcp.aletcloud.com/mcp.

It targets organizations in Ethiopia that want predictable, local-currency billing (ETB) and data residency for production apps, internal systems, and customer-facing services.

Notable for its Addis Ababa hosting (the site states its hardware operates inside Ethio Telecom’s Bole data centre), usage-based billing billed by the minute with monthly price ceilings, and built-in support for local top-ups (telebirr, bank transfer, or card via Chapa).
