Hosting for small sites in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and across South Africa, with free SSL and daily backups on every plan and .co.za domains that register at checkout. Plans start at KSh 80$0.62/month.
Plans & Pricing Start a live chatSouth Africa has good local hosting companies, several with servers in Johannesburg and Cape Town. If almost all of your visitors are South African and your site is busy, a local data centre may suit you better, and we would rather say that plainly than sell you the wrong thing.
Where we fit is the small site: a portfolio, a side business, a club, a landing page for a product, a site for family or a church. For those, what matters is a low monthly price, a free SSL certificate that renews on its own, a backup every day and a control panel with your own login. That is every SiteBoma plan, with a .co.za domain that registers the moment the invoice is paid.
Our hosting server is in the United Kingdom and our team works from Nairobi, one hour ahead of Johannesburg. We answer in English on live chat, email and tickets, and you pay by Visa or Mastercard on Paystack.
Photographers, designers and writers who want their own domain without a big monthly bill.
Small online sellers and services starting out, before traffic justifies anything bigger.
Groups publishing events, fixtures and contacts, with mailboxes for the people who run them.
A launch page, an event site or a campaign that needs to go live quickly and cheaply.
Firms with customers in Kenya, Nigeria or Ghana as well as at home.
People hosting client and test sites who want DirectAdmin, SSH and staging.
Our hosting server is not in Kenya: it is in the United Kingdom, and it serves our Kenyan customers too. Help by live chat, email or ticket comes from our Nairobi team, on East Africa Time.
You will not find a made-up latency number here. Instead, our live status page tests our website, the hosting server, mail, the payment gateway and the domain registry once a minute, and keeps the honest record, bad days included.
Good to know in South Africa
As well as .com, .org and 200+ other extensions, we can register the ones that belong to South Africa. .co.za registers at checkout the moment the invoice is paid, the same as .com. Look at the renewal column before you decide, since some extensions cost more to renew than to register.
| Extension | Register | Renew | Transfer in | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .co.za | KSh 1,060$8.15/yr | KSh 1,060$8.15/yr | KSh 1,060$8.15/yr | Check |
Anyone can register a .co.za, in South Africa or outside it, with no documents.
These figures come straight from our live catalogue, so the price shown is the price charged. Still undecided? Our guide on picking a domain name works just as well beyond Kenya's borders.
Ways to pay
What we cannot accept, so checkout holds no surprises
M-Pesa at our checkout means Safaricom M-Pesa in Kenya and nothing else. SnapScan, Zapper and instant EFT are not available at checkout. Better that you read it here than find out halfway through paying.
No VAT is added to our prices. Should your accountant need the invoice laid out a certain way for local bookkeeping, tell us and we will issue it in that format.
Let us know who hosts you now, which domain you use and roughly how large the site is. Live chat gets the quickest reply.
Your files, databases and mailboxes come over to our server and are tested there, while the old site carries on running.
A preview link lets you inspect the new copy. Your visitors see no change until you approve it.
Change the nameservers yourself, or let us do it when the domain is registered with us. Every paid plan includes the move free.
One team and one set of plans cover each of these:
