I’m looking to host a backend (Django) and trying to figure out the best local options.

• If you’re using Paratus for hosting: What are the monthly costs like for a basic VPS/cloud instance (CPU/RAM/storage)? How smooth was the signup and setup process? Any pros/cons once live?

• Or if you’re using AWS, Digital Ocean, or other international providers: How do you stay compliant with Zambia’s data protection requirements (e.g. keeping Zambian user data within the country)?

Would really appreciate honest experiences from anyone actually running production stuff here. Thanks in advance!
