About us
Hosting that feels local, because it is
NewHost gives South African businesses and developers a home online: fast hosting on local servers, domains and email, with pricing in rand and people you can talk to.
Why we built NewHost
South African businesses have long had to choose between affordable local shared hosting with dated tools, and modern global platforms that bill in dollars, charge per seat and host far away.
NewHost brings the two together. You get the developer experience of the global platforms -- Git push to deploy, previews, managed databases and automation -- on servers in South Africa, with simple rand pricing and a local team behind it.
For businesses that just need to be online, we look after the essentials: web hosting, professional email, domains and SSL, set up properly and supported by people who understand local requirements such as POPIA.
What we offer
- Web hosting on NVMe storage
- Next.js and Node.js application hosting
- Professional email on your own domain
- Windows hosting for ASP.NET and MS SQL
- .co.za, .africa, .com and other domains
- Free and commercial SSL certificates
- Managed MySQL, PostgreSQL and MS SQL databases
- Prepaid wallet with auto top-up and auto-renew
What we stand for
Local by design
Our servers are in South Africa, our prices are in rand and our support team works in your time zone.
Honest pricing
Flat monthly prices, VAT shown clearly on every tax invoice, and no usage bills that surprise you at month end.
Modern tooling
Git deployments, encrypted secrets, scheduled tasks and webhooks -- the workflow developers expect from global platforms.
Secure by default
Free SSL, encrypted credentials, signed webhooks, registrar locks and an audit trail on every account.
