Jokko Pro

What Jokko Pro does

Jokko Pro Africa is a cloud services provider headquartered in Dakar, Senegal, operated by the parent entity Dariss Consulting (SAS, founded 2009). The company positions itself as the "first 100% Senegalese cloud" and offers a complete stack of internet infrastructure and productivity services: shared web hosting (Basic, WordPress-optimized, .SN local, Performance, and Pro Entreprise tiers), Linux-based VPS/cloud servers with multi-OS selection (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, CloudLinux) and cPanel/Plesk management, professional email and collaboration via the Jokko Connect platform integrated with Google Workspace, a credits-based bulk SMS service (SMS PRO), cloud backup, and domain registration including the Senegalese .SN ccTLD through its accredited registrar partnership with NIC Senegal.

The underlying technology is conventional cloud-hosting infrastructure: SSD-backed servers, MySQL/PostgreSQL databases, Let's Encrypt SSL, DDoS mitigation, anti-SPAM SMTP filtering, automatic CMS installers (WordPress, Drupal, PrestaShop), and on Performance/Enterprise tiers, dedicated IPs, SSH access, and multi-node high availability. The proprietary layer is light — primarily Jokko Connect (branded as a sovereign productivity alternative) and bundled business management applications (CRM, POS, finance, HR, inventory) — atop third-party infrastructure from Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. The site references 99.9% uptime SLA on shared hosting and ~95% SMS delivery rate within one minute.

Jokko Pro monetizes primarily through monthly subscriptions billed in FCFA (West African CFA franc), ranging from 1,250 FCFA/month (Pack WP Basic) to 79,500 FCFA/month (Pro Entreprise 3), with usage-based credits for SMS and annual fees for domain registration. Payment methods span Mobile Money, Paydunya, Western Union, PayPal, and card. The go-to-market combines a self-serve PLG model (manage.jokko.africa) with automated provisioning for SMB and individual tiers, and inside sales (phone + WhatsApp) for enterprise tiers. Target customers are Senegalese and West African individuals, PME/PMI, large enterprises, NGOs, and government/institutional entities with a stated need for digital sovereignty and local data residency. The company employs approximately 7 people and has not disclosed external funding.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• SiteGround: Global managed hosting provider known for WordPress-optimized hosting. Overlaps with Jokko Pro's WordPress and managed hosting tiers at the premium SMB / prosumer end of the market.
• GoDaddy: Global domain registrar and hosting incumbent. Competes with Jokko Pro on domain registration and basic hosting, particularly for customers seeking global brand credibility versus a local Senegalese provider.
• Hostinger: Global low-cost hosting platform with strong emerging-market penetration. Directly competes with Jokko Pro on price in the shared/WordPress hosting segment and represents the global PLG benchmark Jokko Pro's portal competes against.
• AWS (Amazon Web Services): Global hyperscaler and infrastructure backbone. Referenced as a Jokko Pro partner but also the underlying cloud platform; represents the long-term competitive ceiling Jokko Pro must position sovereignty against.
• Google Cloud: Global hyperscaler providing compute, storage, and productivity (Workspace). Already a partner of Jokko Pro but also a potential competitor as it expands African presence and local-language support.

Direct peers

• Web4Africa: Long-standing African hosting provider offering shared hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, and domain registration. Comparable in product breadth and pan-African SMB positioning, though with broader geographic coverage than Jokko Pro.
• Whogohost: Leading Nigerian web hosting and domain registrar (acquired by Hosting.co.uk group). Competes head-to-head with Jokko Pro on shared hosting, .ng domains, WordPress hosting, and business email for West African SMBs.
• HostAfrica: African-focused web hosting, VPS, and domain registrar operating across Kenya, South Africa, and Nigeria. Comparable to Jokko Pro in shared/VPS hosting and domain registration, with similar SMB-to-mid-market targeting and local-reseller positioning.
• Truehost Nigeria: Pan-African shared hosting, VPS, domain, and email provider targeting African SMBs with local payment rails. Highly comparable to Jokko Pro in product scope (cPanel hosting, .ng domains, business email) and customer segment, though focused on Nigeria rather than Senegal.

Regional players

• Afrihost: Major South African ISP and hosting provider offering shared hosting, VPS, and domains. Overlaps with Jokko Pro on hosting products but primarily serves South Africa rather than Francophone West Africa.
