What are the chances of posting “Advertising With Purpose : The TINAR 3-Year Partnership Prospect” and a day or so later, you see that HostAfrica has unleashed South Africa’s most affordable .co.za domains at just R49?
Highly unlikely, but this time around, it happened!. The founder and CEO of HostAfrica, Michael Osterloh, leads the announcement with :
“Our vision is to provide African entrepreneurs with the tools they need to take their businesses online,” says Michael Osterloh, CEO of HostAfrica. “An affordable .co.za domain is the first step in that journey. From there, we support our customers with web design, hosting, professional email and other critical online services – but it all starts with owning your domain”
The new South African pricing further cements HostAfrica’s existing position as Africa’s entrepreneur-first hosting provider where HostAfrica is already known for its ultra-competitive domain pricing across the continent, offering some of the most affordable options in Kenya and Nigeria.
Known as more than a domain service provider but a full toolkit to get your business online.
Once customers secure their dream domain, HostAfrica provides entrepreneurs with everything they need to build, launch, and grow a professional online presence, including:
- Domain registration – Secure your brand with a .co.za
- Web hosting – Fast, reliable hosting optimised for the African market
- AI Website builder – No-code tools to get a modern website online in minutes
- Professional email – Branded email addresses that build trust with customers

This is yet another milestone in HostAfrica’s commitment to excellence, which is reflected in:
- Serving over 100,000 African customers.
- Maintaining 99.9% service reliability.
- Achieving industry-leading customer satisfaction (4.9/5) on reputable review platforms such as HelloPeter and Trustpilot.
- Building local teams in every market for culturally relevant, responsive support.
