What South African sites need from a host
Uptime when the grid is down, encryption customers can trust, and a checkout that speaks rand.
Up during loadshedding
Your site lives in data centres with UPS and generator backup, so customers can still buy while your street is dark.
Free SSL for POPIA-minded sites
Every plan encrypts forms and checkouts, a baseline for handling customer personal information responsibly.
Instant EFT and PayFast
Pay from your FNB, Standard Bank, Absa, Nedbank or Capitec account via Ozow or PayFast, no card needed.
NVMe for WooCommerce
Product catalogues and carts load quickly because databases read from NVMe, not spinning disks.
SSH, Git and Node.js
Cape Town dev teams can deploy with Git and run Node.js or Python services from cPanel.
Free migration from local hosts
Moving from another cPanel host? We transfer files, databases and mail boxes at no cost.
An African host with rand billing
Route Africa has served businesses across the continent since 2017. South African domains are handled through our ZACR/ZADNA-aligned registry partnership, next to your hosting on one account.
No. Your site is hosted in a data centre with its own UPS and generator power, independent of your local grid.
Why is hosting only sold yearly?
Annual terms keep the price low and remove the risk of a missed debit order taking your site offline. Pick 1, 2 or 3 years.
Can I pay by Instant EFT?
Yes. Pay through Ozow or PayFast from any major South African bank, or use SnapScan, Yoco, Visa or Mastercard.
Does free SSL help with POPIA?
SSL encrypts data between your visitors and your site, which is one part of protecting personal information. POPIA compliance also depends on how you collect and store data.
