Zanzibar businesses deserve a world-class online presence.
A million international tourists visit Zanzibar every year. They find your hotel, restaurant, dive shop, or tour company by searching online — often months before they board a flight.
Sakurahost is Tanzania's TCRA-accredited registrar and the hosting provider trusted by Zanzibar's tourism industry — from Stone Town boutiques to Nungwi beach resorts. Fast. Professional. Supported in Swahili, English, and Arabic.

Zanzibar's most trusted .co.tz registrar
A yourhotel.co.tz domain instantly signals a legitimate, Tanzania-registered business. We are TCRA-accredited (ref: TCRA/DOTTZRACC/0038/2025) — the only authority recognised by Zanzibar's own government.
Professional email that lands in inboxes
reservations@yourbeachhotel.co.tz carries authority. We configure DMARC, DKIM, and SPF so booking confirmations land in European inboxes — not junk folders — for every OTA and direct guest.
M-Pesa billing. Pay in TZS.
No USD card, no international wire transfer, no 3.5% foreign exchange fees. Pay from your phone using M-Pesa, Selcom, or Tigo (Mixx). Renew your domain at 3am from Nungwi if you want.
EAT support — no time-zone gap
When your booking website goes offline at 11pm and a guest in Dubai is trying to book, we are already in the same timezone as you. WhatsApp us in Swahili, English, or Arabic.
Security built for tourism businesses
Imunify360 malware scanning, free SSL on every site, daily backups, and CloudLinux isolation. Guest passport photos and payment data are never exposed to other server users.
Your Zanzibar business needs a .co.tz address.

Rank higher. Get found first.
When a traveller searches "boutique hotel Stone Town" or "snorkelling trip Zanzibar", Google ranks fast, secure, properly structured .co.tz websites above slow foreign-hosted alternatives.
TripAdvisor and Booking.com use website quality as a credibility signal. A professional .co.tz site with HTTPS, fast load times, and a verified Google Business listing puts your Zanzibar business in front of more guests — without paying for ads.
Google Core Web Vitals
Page speed is a Google ranking factor. NVMe hosting + CDN keeps your Zanzibar site in the top results for competitive travel searches.
TripAdvisor & Booking.com signals
Your website credibility directly affects your featured placement on the OTAs that drive Zanzibar bookings. Fast + HTTPS + .co.tz = trust signals.
Google Business Profile boost
A .co.tz domain verified against a Zanzibar Google Business location gets higher local pack placement for "near me" and location-based searches.
Web hosting in Zanzibar — your questions answered.
Why does a Zanzibar hotel or business need local web hosting?
Most Zanzibar tourism businesses get 80%+ of their website traffic from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Hosting with a local Tanzanian provider with a global CDN gives international visitors fast load times, while also giving you local support in your timezone. A .co.tz domain registered through a TCRA-accredited registrar also builds institutional trust with Tanzanian government agencies and corporate clients.
Can I get a .co.tz domain for my Zanzibar business?
Yes. Sakurahost is a TCRA-accredited .tz domain registrar (Accreditation No. TCRA/DOTTZRACC/0038/2025). We register .co.tz, .or.tz, .ac.tz, .ne.tz, .sc.tz, and .tz domains. A free .co.tz domain is included in Sungura and Faru plans. Standalone domain registration starts at TZS 19,500/year.
Does Sakurahost support Arabic language for Zanzibar businesses?
Yes. Our support team communicates in Swahili, English, and Arabic — reflecting Zanzibar's diverse business community. Many of our Zanzibar clients operate in Arabic-speaking markets, and we understand the importance of this for Stone Town, hotel, and hospitality businesses.
How do I pay for web hosting from Zanzibar?
Pay using M-Pesa (Vodacom), Tigo Pesa (Mixx by YAS), Airtel Money, Selcom, or CRDB bank. All prices are in Tanzanian Shilling. No foreign card required. You can manage and renew your hosting and domains entirely from your phone.
Can I host my hotel booking system or reservation calendar on Sakurahost?
Yes. Popular booking systems like Beds24, Booking.com Channel Manager, and WordPress-based plugins (WP Hotel Booking, MotoPress Hotel Booking) all work on Sakurahost. For high-traffic hotels managing hundreds of reservations, our VPS plans provide dedicated resources. We also offer custom booking website development.
How will hosting with Sakurahost help my TripAdvisor and Booking.com ranking?
OTA platforms like TripAdvisor, Booking.com, and SafariBookings all review your website quality as part of their operator ranking algorithm. A fast, HTTPS-secured, properly structured .co.tz website with professional email signals a credible, established business. This directly improves your featured placement on these platforms.
Can Sakurahost build a website for my Zanzibar hotel or restaurant?
Yes. Our website design team builds professional tourism and hospitality websites — from single-page restaurant sites to full multi-room hotel websites with online booking integration. Visit our Website Design page for packages and pricing.
Do you serve Pemba Island and other smaller Zanzibar islands?
Yes. Sakurahost serves the entire Zanzibar archipelago — Unguja (Zanzibar main island), Pemba Island, Mafia Island, and all smaller islands. Hosting is purely online — location on the island has no effect on your hosting or domain registration.
Put your Zanzibar business on the map. For good.
Fast website. Professional .co.tz email. TCRA-accredited domain. M-Pesa billing. Support in Swahili, English, and Arabic.
