Introduction
Rubavu sits on the northern shore of Lake Kivu, right on the border with Goma. Its sandy beaches, lakeside hotels and boat trips draw visitors from Kigali and abroad, and its border crossing makes it one of Rwanda’s busiest trading towns. Whether your customers are holidaymakers or buyers on the other side of the border, reliable web hosting in Rubavu helps them find you.
At Hostnali, we serve clients across Rwanda with web hosting, domain registration, reseller hosting and VPS hosting, so Rubavu businesses can get online quickly and stay online.
Doing business online in Rubavu
Rubavu’s economy has two sides. Along the lake, hotels, beach resorts, guesthouses, restaurants and boat operators serve visitors who often book weekends and holidays in advance. At the border, traders, wholesalers, transporters and clearing agents move goods between Rwanda and Goma every day, and many of them deal with partners who look them up online first.
What businesses in Rubavu use their websites for:
- Lakeside hotels and resorts showing rooms, rates, events and booking enquiry forms
- Boat trip, kayaking and tour operators selling trips on Lake Kivu
- Traders, wholesalers and transporters presenting products and services to cross-border buyers
- Restaurants, bars and local services taking reservations and orders
Getting started is simple: a .rw domain costs RWF 26,600 a year and a .co.rw RWF 16,800, web hosting starts at RWF 30,520 a year with free SSL and daily backups, and our web design team can build the site for you. Pay by card, bank transfer or mobile money.
