Hosted close to your customers
Your website runs in a Johannesburg data centre, so pages load quickly for South African visitors and your data stays in the country.
Managed website hosting in South Africa
Cheap hosting is cheap until something breaks and nobody answers. We host your website on our own monitored cloud server in Johannesburg and look after it for you: the certificate, the backups, the updates and the 2am alerts. You get one monthly fee and a real person to call.

Common questions
Where is my website hosted?
On our own cloud server in a Johannesburg data centre. Each website runs in its own isolated container with its own database.
Is there a contract?
No fixed term. Hosting runs month to month, and either of us can cancel with 30 days' notice by email.
Who owns my domain name?
You do. If we register or manage it for you, it is registered in your name, and we will help you move it whenever you ask.
Can you host a website you did not build?
Often, yes. Tell us what your site runs on and we will let you know whether it is a good fit for our server before you move anything.
