Best Hosting in South Africa: 10 Reasons to choose Domains.co.za

In a digital world, hosting plays a fundamental role in everything we do online, that’s why only the best will do. At Domains.co.za, we are a leading Hosting Provider in South Africa. Yes – we know – you’ve heard it all before. Hosting companies like to talk the talk but can they walk it too?

How about we give you all the details, and you decide for yourself…

10 Reasons why Domains.co.za should be your Hosting Provider of choice

Reason 1: We only use the Best in Technology

Carrier-Grade Supermicro hardware, AMD Scalable Second-Generation processors, Super-Fast Enterprise SSD and NVME drives in Raid 10… we can go on and on. The point is: If it is not the best of the best, we’re not interested, and neither should you be.

Reason 2: We’re Industry Experts

While hosting is all about the latest and the greatest tech, it is also about ability. We’ve been here since 2001. We’ve seen it all and risen above it, and over the years we’ve built a trustworthy reputation. While the tech industry is fun and exciting, it can also be quite ruthless and volatile. Adapt or die, as they say. We do this regularly so that you can rest assured that your website is in the best of hands in all kinds of ‘climates’.

Reason 3: We’re the Largest Operational ICANN Registrar in Africa

Not only were we the first accredited Registrar in SA in September 2011, but currently, we are also the largest operational ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) Registrar in the whole of Africa. Reaching industry-firsts and disrupting the Domain and Hosting space is something we are passionate about because we know at the end of the day our clients will benefit.

Reason 4: We have a proven track record in Stability, Security, and Reliability

There’s no point in any of this if your site’s down, right? A site that’s down means you are losing out on potential customers and sales. We are committed to reducing downtime through our 99.9% Uptime Guarantee. In fact, we normally exceed this anyway.

Reason 5: We believe in supplying

Excellent Products, Service & after-sales SupportOur clients are important to us. We offer a superior Support Structure, comprehensive Knowledgebase, and FAQs, reinforced by our friendly and professional Sales, Support & Accounts staff. Furthermore, our products are ideally positioned to guide SMEs through the online ‘jungle’ as effortlessly, affordably, and securely as possible. Our packages grow with your business, so you can scale up (or down) whenever you need to.

Reason 6: We go the extra mile and Give More with every product

Great products and services are obviously a win, but there’s nothing like added value, is there? At Domains.co.za, we like to spoil our clients by doing more and dishing out freebies where we can as well. Two of these include 24/7 website monitoring and daily backups. This way you can have peace of mind that your website is always secure and backed up.

Reason 7: We are proud to be a South African Business

We are a Joburg-based business. Our servers are in Joburg too. Local is “lekkerder” because this means your website will function at the best possible speeds in local searches. Added to this, support is in GMT+2 time zone, which means as a client, you'll get the assurance that you are directly affecting the South African economy.

Reason 8: We use the Best Data Centre

Only the best hosting environment is suitable for our hosting infrastructure. We, therefore, make use of the Teraco data centre in Johannesburg, which is an N+1 Redundant Facility and is backed by fire suppression, redundant cooling, UPS and generator backups. The facility also boasts carrier-grade networking infrastructures and Solar PV.

Reason 9: We believe Hosting should be Simple

You’ve got a business to run, meetings to attend and complicated decisions to make. Your hosting shouldn’t be part of what’s keeping you up at night. That’s why we make it easy to understand our products and sign up for any of our packages. The management of your hosting packages is beyond effortless via our Control Panel. This way you can focus on your business and leave all the other more technical hosting stuff to us.

Reason 10: We are DNS (Domain Name Server) Geo-redundant

In website hosting, redundancy is an incredibly positive word. It means your hosting company has a solid Plan B in place should power outages and natural disasters affect a certain data centre. Apart from our N+1 Redundant Data Centre in Johannesburg, we also boast geo-redundancy for our domain name servers (DNSs). DNS geo-redundancy means that a hosting company has multiple domain name servers in various other geographic locations. So, if one DNS fails, the system automatically switches over to the next DNS location.
