HOSTARTS Is Giving Algerian Startups Up to 120,000 DA in Free Hosting - Here's How to Apply
Algerian hosting provider HOSTARTS has quietly launched a structured startup program that hands early-stage founders up to 120,000 DA in free hosting credits - no credit card, no commitment, and no catch while you're in the program.
The HOSTARTS Startup Program is positioned as a resource for founders who need real infrastructure from day one but can't afford to burn budget on it before product-market fit.
What You Actually Get
The credit package covers a full stack of what a startup needs to exist online:
- Hosting credits - 12 months (shared hosting, VPS, or dedicated server depending on your needs), valued up to 120,000 DA
- .dz domain or .com - 1 year included
- Professional emails - unlimited, at your own domain (e.g. [email protected])
- SSL certificate - free and auto-renewed
- cPanel access - included
- Daily backups - included
- Priority 24/7 technical support
- Assisted migration from any previous host - free
On top of the infrastructure credits, accepted startups get a dedicated digitalization expert from HOSTARTS who walks them through tool selection and technical architecture. No sales pitch, just practical guidance.
The Loi 18-07 Angle
One element that's easy to overlook: all infrastructure runs inside Algeria, on HOSTARTS' own datacenter under network AS329667 (AFRINIC-registered). This means data residency compliance with Loi 18-07, Algeria's data protection law, is built into the program by default.
For any startup handling user data - which is basically all of them - this removes a real legal headache that founders typically discover too late.
Who Can Apply
HOSTARTS keeps the criteria simple:
Eligible:
- Startup created less than 3 years ago
- Project actively in development or recently launched

- Commitment to actively use the services
Not eligible:
- Web agencies or established IT service companies
- Projects with no activity for more than 6 months
- Resellers or intermediaries
If you're on the fence, they say to apply anyway - they respond to every application.
