Sun Hosting's vice-president of operations for Africa Hervé Kenfack says that the company is continuing its rapid expansion
in the continent, and has now officially launched its activities in Cameroon, Gabon, the Central African Republic and Nigeria.
Kenfack is also responsible in the expansion and management of over 80 Sun Hosting-authorized resellers in Africa.
These efforts aim to provide these countries with reliable technical resources drawing on the in-depth expertise, know-how
and experience of Sun Hosting as Canada's leader in professional hosting services, dedicated servers and colocation services
across the globe. Each of Sun Hosting's data centers are capable of supporting thousands of Web servers and related hardware, both operating
under the Linux and Windows platforms. Sun Hosting has been in business since 1995 and intends to continue its growth, and this
expansion in Africa is further proof of our long-term commitment.
