Client reviews

Our clients have rated our hosting services and support 5 stars!

  • Thank you HOSTAFRICA

    Our company has been with HOSTAFRICA for 7 and a half years. Being a florist, I am not 100% tech savvy but the wonderful staff at HOSTAFRICA always assist effectively and efficiently so that we can make sure that there are no interruptions to our website. Thank you HOSTAFRICA for being so awesome!
  • All you need!

    Although you build your own website, HOSTAFRICA make it seamless. The support response is incredibly fast - even on weekends. I’m paying R99 for support, storage, 25 emails, and cpanel also, I’m using their light speed server for Wordpress. Over and above that, they put you in the right direction to get your website optimal as well as getting your emails to end up in an inbox and not spam. My mobile page rating score is 94 out of 100.
  • Excellent live support

    HOSTAFRICA has excellent support. Their live chat support is always available and they answer questions quickly. The support person even phoned me after one of our chats to make sure I got the answer. Pretty awesome. Their registration process and backend is easy to follow as well.

Frequently asked questions

If you still have unanswered questions, please reach out to us and we’ll be happy to assist.

WooCommerce allows you to easily manage your online Store. You can add themes, install useful plugins and make changes quickly. We ensure that our servers are optimised for WooCommerce websites. Hosting that’s as stable as possible, delivering the best performance.

Yes, it is. As with any system, however, it can be compromised by poor administration, setup, plugins, and themes. If you take security seriously and follow common-sense safety protocols you should be fine.

Our security team ensures that your WordPress websites are as secure as possible. Firewalling, fail2ban, Patchman and server hardening are all used to secure our servers and your website.

Since WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin, no, it can’t be used without the WordPress core. The plugin can only be installed on WordPress and won’t be able to execute on any other platform.

However, that shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing. WordPress is the CMS of choice. Developing a website with WordPress, or building a store on top of it, is much easier than building a website from scratch.

If you already have WordPress installed, it takes a few minutes to install and activate the WooCommerce plugin on it. Assuming it’s your first time hosting, you’ll need a hosting account as well. Getting your account activated and installing WooCommerce should take no more than a couple of hours, and that’s on a slow day.

Yes, we provide daily incremental backups included across all our WooCommerce packages. However, we recommend that you also manage your own backups.

We offer Acronis cloud backups, which give you maximum control of when, where, and what you want to back up. Whether it’s your website, personal computer, a hard drive, or whether you’re running Linux or Windows; you can back up everything and anything, anywhere.

No, they don’t. However, using a payment gateway to secure your online transactions does. They charge a small percentage only when a transaction is made, so you won’t have to bother with a monthly subscription.

Go to the Plugins section, search for WooCommerce, and then click Install and Activate. Once the plugin is active, a setup wizard will begin. Follow the prompts, and within a few minutes, your store will be ready. From there, you’ll be able to customise your store and add some categories and products. Go to the Products section on the left and define the specifications and details for each product you plan to add. Every step in the process guides you with prompts, so you won’t get lost along the way. Read here for a detailed guide on how to install WooCommerce.

Yes, it is. To maximise operational fluidity, however, we’d suggest getting a couple of plugins or themes to ensure things are even more streamlined. There are free ones available, but paid plugins and themes usually have a lot more functionality, are regularly updated, and have customer service. These additions usually start out at about R300.
