The Democratic Republic of Congo has seen a steady increase in managed hosting adoption, with 45 providers operating across the country in 2026. The rise in domain registrations to 120,000 reflects growing internet usage and digital business initiatives. The average domain cost remains affordable at $15, encouraging startups and SMEs to establish an online presence, fueling the digital economy.
Despite rapid growth, internet penetration still covers only 38% of the population, indicating substantial room for expansion. Managed hosting services are expanding at a 12% annual growth rate, driven by increased demand for secure and reliable online infrastructure. Continued investments and infrastructure development are expected to further boost digital adoption in the coming years.
