Data Center in South Africa
As one of only a few providers HOSTAFRICA offers Virtual Server (VPS) that are conveniently located in South Africa and Europe. By establishing the server location in South Africa we achieved the highest speeds for local accesses. If your customers are based in Europe, you can utilise our Data Center centrally located in Europe in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Both locations are optimized for reliability and high availability. We only use well-known brand hardware and software solutions.
Easy to use
We have developed the intuitive “HOSTAFRICA CloudPanel” for our customers, that not only enables them to manage their servers easily and conveniently but also without the need for specialist server administrational skills.
It’s really quite simple to start, stop or reboot the system!
Developers and Administrators can also use the API functionality with all features of the CloudPanel.
