Thank you for posting this list.
I am a developer from JHB who is always looking for a better provider to work with, while i have used quite a number of these hosting providers, only a few of them are actually worth it.
Here is my shortlist and why:
1. Xneelo – This was one of the first companies I signed up within SA, they are an extremely large provider BUT they support is extremely terrible not to mention the in house control panel (Konsole). Don’t waste your time on this provider at all!
2. 1-Grid – This company was formerly part of Web Africa, a promising hosting provider in SA about 4 years ago. Their support was top-notch being part of the Web Africa empire but since the split, they completely went downhill! Staff is clueless when it comes to hosting.
3. Host King – The rising dragon among the big pioneers of the hosting industry, they were a creditable hosting provider before the cPanel price hike but they since lost their minds with the price adjustments. The services are good to an extent, just to expect them to be flexible as they don’t even want to entertain the idea!
4. HostAfrica – Germany engineered company founded by a one Mr. Micheal, what a waste of time and money. This guy fooled SA by running virtualization of hetzners dedicated machines and reselling VM’s at an extremely high cost. While they recently had a facelift, it would appear that they received some financial backing to now expand to 6 locations worldwide. I have yet to try their services again to provide a rewrite on my conclusion.
5. IVECloud – Now this company appeared out of the blue with quite a variety of services on offer. I signed up with these guys in January 2020 to where I am being treated like royalty. While I haven’t actually experienced any issues with them as of yet, there is definitely room for improvement. Firstly, finish your website guys! Beyond that, your services are solid and cheaper than the rest of the competition! Keep it up.
IE: I am NOT a vlogger, blogger, or a paid review writer. Just a simple SA citizen that loves to explore my options for development in the hosting industry.
