Our story

From hosting startup to Tanzania's business OS.

In 2016 we started in Kijitonyama, Dar es Salaam with one belief: reliable, affordable digital services should be accessible to every Tanzanian business — not just the ones who can navigate USD pricing and overseas support tickets.

What began as Netpoa Limited — a hosting and domain registrar — grew steadily through the years. We picked up the first 100 clients through word-of-mouth and the kind of localised, Swahili-speaking support that most international hosts couldn't offer. By 2023 we'd become a TCRA-certified registrar, registering .tz and .co.tz domains directly. In 2025 we expanded across East Africa — serving thousands of clients in 8+ markets.

By 2026 the conversation with our hosting customers had changed. They weren't asking for more hosting — they were asking who could run their accounting, mauzo, matumizi, mishahara, ripoti za VAT in Swahili, priced in shillings, supported from the same office. So we built it. Sanya Business launched in 2026 as our flagship product: a single platform to run a Tanzanian biashara end-to-end.

Today the company runs two brands under one legal entity. Sanya Business is the business OS — bidhaa, mapato, mauzo, matumizi, wafanyakazi, ripoti. NETPOA is the infrastructure brand customers already know us for — hosting, VPS, domains, business email. Same office, same team, same shillings. Netpoa Limited remains the registered entity behind both.

Milestones

How we got here.

2016

Founded in Dar es Salaam

Netpoa Limited launches with the intent to make reliable, affordable digital services accessible to every Tanzanian business. First customers come from Kijitonyama, where the office still stands.

2020

First 100 clients

100 active hosting and domain clients within 24 months of launch — built entirely through word-of-mouth and the kind of localised, Swahili-first support that most international hosts couldn't offer.

2023

TCRA certification & .tz domains

Achieved certification from the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority — enabling direct .tz and .co.tz domain registration for Tanzanian entities. No more middlemen, no more 2-week waits.

2025

Pan-African expansion

Began serving clients across Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and other East African markets. Same product, same pricing model, expanded reach. Crossed 10,000+ clients served.

2026

Sanya Business launches

Netpoa Limited adopts Sanya as its trading identity for software, and ships Sanya Business — the business OS for Tanzanian SMEs (bidhaa · mapato · mauzo · matumizi · wafanyakazi · ripoti). The hosting business carries on under the NETPOA name it has always been known by. The legal entity didn't change — only the brand house did.

Two brands, one company

What we do.

Sanya Business is the flagship — that's where we focus product investment. NETPOA is the infrastructure stack we've been running since 2016. Both share the same legal entity, the same support team, and the same engineering principles.
