Accepted Payment Methods — Pay in South African Rands
International infrastructure, Rand pricing, and zero loadshedding risk.
Your website stays online regardless of Eskom's schedule. Route Africa's servers run on internationally hosted infrastructure with redundant power, UPS backup, and a 99.9% uptime SLA. Your site doesn't share a generator with your office — it runs on a different continent's grid entirely.
Checkout shows your price in ZAR. Pay via PayFast (card or EFT), Ozow for Instant EFT, SnapScan from your phone, Yoco, or standard bank transfer. No dollar conversion, no hidden FX fees.
Cloudflare CDN with Johannesburg and Cape Town points of presence. Your website loads fast for visitors across Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and all nine provinces — not just for traffic from overseas.
Find a .co.za name for your business. Registration is subject to name availability and the applicable registry policies; checkout confirms the current price.
