Web Hosting tools

Hosting, domains and email for your website — including local providers that sell .co.za domains.

What to look for in web hosting tools

  • Total yearly cost after any first-year discount, including the domain and email
  • Backups, SSL certificates and support hours included in the plan
  • Where servers are located, if speed for local visitors or data location matters to you
  • How easy it is to move your site and domain away later
