Curtis YoungDomains.co.za is a good choice for resellers looking for an inexpensive hosting option that's easy to set up and offers a lot of the standard features, such as cPanel. It's not ideal for large websites, however, because it only offers packages with storage sizes of 5GB, 50GB, or 100GB and doesn't offer any larger options.Atwan NomaniI enjoy using a fast server since it gives me an advantage over my competitors, who, in Google's view, use a slow server.Not only is the server quick, but the domain support is also top-notch.I can instantly chat with their helpful crew, who are timely in fixing any concerns, if I have any.I simply give domains hosting top priority while looking for new servers.Imran NomaniI really like Domains.co.za and the services it offers, but I prefer to have my domains and hosting on the same platform, and Domains.co.za falls behind in the domain market for two reasons: 1. Price - over time, I've noticed that domain prices are not as competitive as hosting prices, so it typically charged a little more than the leading competitors. 2. Who is privacy - Domains.co.za upsells who is privacy rather than offering it by default. Since they are already the more expensive choice and other hosting firms offer free who is privacy, this becomes rather bothersome. I would be happy and comfortable promoting Domains.co.za to everyone and everybody if these domain-related issues could be resolved.Loic Mavah TseketDomains.co.za is among the first hosting I have used. The great thing with it is the functionality for the affordable price. 10 G ssd for R100 I am not sure you can find it somewhere else. the only problem is it take time to setup and also customer service is a bit slow otherwise the speed and others thing is great.Syed Muhammad AliThe price plans of Domain.co are not very attractive. They Provide monthly subscriptions and no discounts on long-term contracts which is very unusual. We also have to be very regular in our payments or the website will go down. Their customer service is okay and they generally respond within the same day. Our website once went down because payments were not made on time but it was done without sending us a warning email. it took us two days to get the site up again which is something not desirable for any business. I would not recommend domains.co to large-size businesses.Sean StaTerrible service, took time for the domain and hosting to be activated, and the team takes too long to respond to issues even after opening multiple tickets and phone calls, however the pricing is fair with domains being as cheap as they come but hosting not as much with the cheapest hosting going for ZAR 100 per month, I wouldn’t recommend for anyone looking for a great service.Marius De BeerDomains.co.za is part of Diamatrix and they are a big domain regisrar in South Africa.Shared hosting is on the cPanel platform and starts from R89/m (about $4.80) and gets you 5Gb of SSD disk space for the price.They are also big on pushing Cloudflare to all customers and offfer SSL certificates.I personally use them to manage all my domains although I tend to host on my own servers. This does not mean that their hosting service lacks anything. Their pricing is very decent, their speed is good and I have found their tech support people to be quite knowledgable.David FourieDomains.co.za, a subsidiary of DiaMatrix CC, has been hosting my South African websites since 2014. They offer cPanel-based shared Linux hosting, WordPress hosting, and recently started providing self-managed VPS hosting with a choice of operating systems. Over the years, I have switched account types and been in contact with support from time to time. Upgrading and downgrading services are easy, and support is always friendly and professional.Pricing is mid-range, but considering that their uptime, server speed and support is excellent, what you get for what you pay is more than fair.Unfortunately there is no live-chat support, but telephonic and ticket-based support is available 24/7. Another drawback is that automated Let's Encrypt Free SSL is not available, but you can install your own free Cloudflare SSL certificates through cPanel.In general, I am very happy with the hosting provided and would not consider moving to another host.
