# Simafri

> Simafri is a hosting provider. Since 2012, it runs Linux servers for businesses and for people who build their own applications: the VPS Pro, with Full-Stack Assistance included, and the managed VPS, where Simafri runs the server and follows the customer's application proactively, coming to them with its recommendations before a problem shows. Around these servers, Simafri creates, hosts and maintains websites, professional email, management software, custom applications and AI agents, and protects businesses from cyberattacks. Seven products carry the offer: Simafri VPS (VPS Pro with Full-Stack Assistance, or managed VPS with proactive management), Serenity by Simafri (managed websites), Simafri Suite (professional email, calendar, contacts and files), Simafri ERP (quotes, invoices and day-to-day management), Pléiade (custom software, built and run by Simafri), managed cybersecurity (continuous protection, security audits and IT fleet management) and AI agents (custom AI agents for customer service, sales follow-up and administrative work, designed, deployed and run by Simafri inside the customer's own tools). Customers in 42 countries.

## About Simafri

Simafri is an international company, with offices in the United States, the Czech Republic and Madagascar, and customers in 42 countries. Everything is delivered remotely and in the customer's own language, so where a company is based decides nothing about the service it receives.

Simafri is a trade name operated by Sels de Rehy, LLC (131 Continental Dr, Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, United States) for the rest of the world, and by Stileex Sarlu (Lot AU 8D, Andafiavaratra Ambohitrarahaba, 103 Antananarivo) in Madagascar, where Simafri is the country's leading web host and the official registrar for the .mg domain extension. Servers are hosted in ISO 27001 certified datacenters in Europe. Simafri was founded by [Simon Vasconcelos Lee](https://simonvasconceloslee.com/).

Simafri's positioning is "your technical ally": a team of experienced technicians who run and maintain your technology for you, permanently. Everything is managed and ongoing: the website, the email, the management software and the servers are set up, kept up to date, secured and supported by Simafri technicians, with someone always reachable. The job is to keep your business running and help people find it. And what Simafri builds for a customer belongs to that customer: the website, the domain name and the data.

## Products

### VPS Pro: Linux servers on datacenter-class hardware, with Full-Stack Assistance
High-performance Linux servers on datacenter-class hardware: Intel Xeon processors, ECC memory, and datacenter-class NVMe SSDs in a mirror, with every block of data verified by checksum. Every VPS Pro includes full root access with SSH on its own port, websites served over HTTPS with certificates issued and renewed by Simafri, nightly encrypted backups kept off the machine for seven days, permanent anti-DDoS protection, continuous availability monitoring, and Full-Stack Assistance: Simafri diagnoses any issue, from the operating system down to the application's code, and tells the customer exactly what to do, while the customer keeps control of the server. Six sizes, from 1 vCPU, 2 GB of memory and 20 GB of NVMe (US$4.99 per month) to 8 vCPU, 24 GB and 400 GB (US$57.99 per month); annual billing gives one month free. Hands-on work by Simafri's team is available at US$45.99 per hour. https://www.simafri.com/en/vps/

### Managed VPS: the server run by Simafri, the application followed proactively
A managed VPS is a VPS Pro that Simafri runs on the customer's behalf, with proactive management: system and security updates, round-the-clock monitoring with intervention on the server without waiting for the customer's call, nightly encrypted backups with restorations done by Simafri's team, a dedicated contact, committed response times, every intervention on the server included, and free migration from the customer's current server. Simafri also follows the customer's application (errors, slowness, costly database queries, disk space) and recommends the fix before the problem shows: the customer, or their own AI assistant, applies it and keeps control of the code, and Simafri's team can do the work itself at the hourly rate. It suits people who built an application with AI tools such as Lovable, Bolt, Replit or Cursor and need it online and looked after, applications that have outgrown the hosting built into those tools, and businesses whose developer has moved on. Prices are published size by size, the VPS price plus a management supplement, from US$19.99 per month for a managed VPS Pro 1; several servers or particular availability requirements are sized with the customer. https://www.simafri.com/en/managed-vps/ (in French: https://www.simafri.com/fr/vps-infogere/)

### Serenity by Simafri: managed website creation
Your webmaster, all inclusive. Simafri creates a professional showcase website, hosts it, secures it and keeps it up to date. The domain name (.com, .net or .org, and also .mg in Madagascar) is free for the first year and registered in the client's name, then renews each year at the standard rate for its extension; a Simafri Suite account (professional email, calendar, contacts and files, unlimited users) is included. Sold as a subscription with no commitment period, renewed at the same price; the website belongs to the client. The pages are built following search-engine optimization (SEO) best practices and include structured data, so the business is described accurately and is readable by AI systems. The website also connects to the customer's own AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT or any compatible assistant) through MCP, at https://mcp.simafri.com/v1/mcp, authorized from the Simafri account: the assistant writes and publishes articles, updates pages and the menu, adds images and schedules publications, every change is logged and every version can be restored, while Simafri keeps hosting, securing and maintaining the site. Price for the English market: US$19.99 per month, billed yearly (US$239.88 per year), all inclusive.

### Simafri Suite: professional email, calendar, contacts and files
Professional email on the customer's own domain, with calendar and contacts (standard sync with phones and desktop applications), and files with link sharing. Sold per account with unlimited users: one storage plan covers the whole team, and adding a person costs nothing. Plans for the English market, per month billed yearly: 10 GB at US$3.99, 20 GB at US$7.99, 40 GB at US$15.99, 60 GB at US$23.99, 100 GB at US$39.99, and extra 50 GB blocks at US$19.99; monthly billing is also available. No commitment period, same price at renewal. The mailbox connects to the customer's own AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT or any compatible assistant) through MCP, at https://suite-mcp.simafri.com/mcp, authorized in one click: the assistant reads, searches, answers, writes, forwards and files the email of the person who connected it, so a team's email can be fully handled by its AI. A Simafri Suite account is included with every Serenity by Simafri website. https://www.simafri.com/en/suite/

### Simafri ERP: quotes, invoices and day-to-day management
Quotes, invoices, credit notes, customers, suppliers, purchases, banking (with accounting export) and stock, with payment reminders. Sold per company with unlimited users and contacts: one price includes the whole catalogue. Price for the English market: US$19.99 per month per company, billed yearly (US$239.88 per year); monthly billing at US$24.99. No commitment period, same price at renewal. Simafri ERP connects to the customer's own AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT or any compatible assistant) through MCP, at https://erp-mcp.simafri.com/mcp, authorized by the account holder from their customer area as read only or read and write: the assistant drafts and issues quotes and invoices, records payments, sends payment reminders, enters purchases, reconciles the bank, tracks stock and prepares the accounting export, across all the account's companies, so day-to-day management can be fully run by the customer's AI. https://www.simafri.com/en/erp/

### Pléiade: custom software, built and run by Simafri
Software built to a customer's own needs (order tracking, booking systems, appointment scheduling, member portals, internal tools), then hosted, updated, backed up and supported month after month like everything else Simafri runs. Each project receives a clear, fixed quote before any work starts: a build price plus a monthly subscription. https://www.simafri.com/en/custom-software/

### Managed cybersecurity: companies and public administrations protected around the clock
Simafri's engineers monitor a customer's domains, email, workstations and servers continuously and respond to every alert: email authentication (SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured and enforced), detection and takedown of lookalike domains, filtering of phishing links and malicious attachments, multi-factor authentication and password management, encrypted and up-to-date workstations, encrypted off-site backups that restore even after ransomware, and incident response with a detailed report. Each engagement starts with a diagnostic and is quoted through the contact form. https://www.simafri.com/en/managed-cybersecurity/

### Security audit: penetration testing and a prioritised action plan
Simafri tests a customer's information system the way an attacker would: penetration testing of websites, applications and remote access, an inventory of the exposed attack surface, a review of email, accounts and privileges, workstations and servers, backups and recovery, and a simulated phishing campaign. The customer receives an executive summary, a detailed technical report and a dated action plan ranked by priority; Simafri's engineers can then apply it and run a follow-up audit. https://www.simafri.com/en/security-audit/

### IT fleet management: workstations, phones, servers and an encrypted private network
Simafri's engineers configure, update, secure and support a company's computers (Windows, macOS, Linux), phones and tablets, servers and network from a central console, link staff, offices and servers through an encrypted private network reachable from anywhere, handle onboarding and offboarding, keep an up-to-date inventory of hardware and licences, and answer users' requests with remote hands-on support. https://www.simafri.com/en/it-fleet-management/

### Custom AI agents for business: designed, deployed and run by Simafri
Simafri designs, deploys and runs AI agents that carry a task through to the end inside a company's own tools: customer service, sales follow-up, administrative work and internal assistants. Each agent is built on the company's real processes, connected to its email, CRM, management software, calendar and documents through their APIs and MCP connectors (Simafri Suite and Simafri ERP connect directly), and relies on the company's procedures, products and standard replies. The company decides what each agent does on its own and what it submits for approval: a refund, a quote or a commitment waits for a one-click approval, and every action is recorded in a log. Simafri's engineers monitor and improve the agents and choose the best-suited AI model for each task. Each project starts with a scoping phase and is quoted through the contact form. https://www.simafri.com/en/ai-agents-for-business/

### AI orchestrator: AI agent orchestration for business
Simafri designs, deploys and runs AI orchestrators: several specialized AI agents share the same piece of work (collecting, analyzing, checking, writing), each with its own instructions, data access and tools, while the orchestrator assigns the steps, passes each agent the result of the previous one, handles exceptions and calls on a person at the decision points the company sets. Typical chains cover case processing, detailed quotes, customer onboarding, order processing, compliance checks, tender responses and consolidated reports, inside the company's own tools through their APIs and MCP connectors, with every step recorded in a log. Each project starts with a mapping of the process and is quoted through the contact form. https://www.simafri.com/en/ai-orchestrator/

### AI customer service agent: customers answered within minutes, day and night
An AI agent that handles the requests arriving in a company's support inbox and website forms: it reads the customer's record, orders and previous exchanges, answers from the company's knowledge base in the language the customer wrote in, sorts and prioritises requests, and passes refunds, goodwill gestures and disputes to the right person with a summary and a reply ready to approve. Every exchange is recorded in the company's helpdesk and CRM. https://www.simafri.com/en/ai-customer-service-agent/

### AI business automation: repetitive administrative and sales tasks handled by AI agents
AI agents that process incoming invoices and documents, move data between tools without re-keying, qualify and follow up with prospects in the CRM, prepare quotes, contracts and letters on the company's templates, sort the inbox and write reports, inside the company's own software. Each process is tested on real data before going live, sensitive steps wait for approval, and every action is recorded in a log. https://www.simafri.com/en/ai-business-automation/

Prices in each market's currency are shown on that market's own pages, reachable from its home page.
