Review of cloud.mu – Local Cloud Hosting with Enterprise-Level Service in Mauritius

With a presence dating back to 2002, cloud.mu has long been a pillar in the Mauritian cloud hosting landscape. As a locally owned and operated provider, they’ve developed a strong reputation for delivering enterprise-grade cloud services, purpose-built for the needs of businesses operating within the region. From VPS and web hosting to domain registration and cloud backup, cloud.mu has evolved into a trusted partner for digital infrastructure in Mauritius.

Unlike many providers that outsource their backend systems, cloud.mu maintains full control over its infrastructure, hosting everything locally in Mauritius. This not only results in lower latency and faster loading times, but also ensures a level of reliability and support responsiveness that’s difficult to match when working with distant or generalized hosting providers.

Their VPS offerings cater to both Windows and Linux users, with support for CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, and Windows Server 2016/2019, all with full administrative access. Whether you're a developer seeking root control or a business running critical applications, the flexibility here is a strong draw.

Web hosting is built on the familiar and reliable cPanel platform, enhanced by LiteSpeed web server technology for optimized speed and performance. The inclusion of free SSL certificates across all plans reinforces their attention to security, while daily backups—stored for up to 30 days—add peace of mind for those handling sensitive or business-critical data.

One area where cloud.mu particularly shines is its local-first approach. All servers are hosted in Mauritian data centers, with direct connections to global networks, allowing local businesses to enjoy the speed of domestic hosting without sacrificing international reach. For businesses concerned about data sovereignty or compliance, this offers both performance benefits and regulatory assurance.
Cloud backup solutions are provided via Acronis, one of the most reputable names in secure data storage. Clients can back up unlimited devices, and only pay based on the amount of storage used, making it a flexible and scalable option for small businesses and enterprises alike.

There’s also a focus on accessibility and transparency—with no long-term contracts, businesses are free to cancel services at any time before the next billing cycle. Subscription options include monthly, semi-annual, and annual billing, with discounts for longer terms. Payments can be made by bank transfer or credit card, and once confirmed, services are deployed instantly—a feature not always offered by local providers.

Support is available in English, French, and Creole, handled by a seasoned local team with deep experience in keeping systems online and running smoothly. This multilingual and culturally attuned support framework is a key reason many businesses prefer cloud.mu over larger, less personal alternatives.
