About us

About Web Design Hosting SA

We help South African businesses get online and stay online: hosting, domains, email, websites and SEO from one team, since 2009.

What we do

Web Design Hosting SA started in 2009 with a simple idea: small businesses should be able to get a professional website, hosting, a domain and email from one place, without jargon or surprise costs. More than 17 years later that is still how we work.

Today we host websites and email on servers in South Africa and Germany, register .co.za and international domains, design websites and logos, maintain WordPress sites and help businesses get found on Google and in AI search. Our office is in Cape Town, and we work with clients all over South Africa.

The business is run by Kevin Poorter, who works in web and search marketing every day. That shows in how we build: fast, mobile-first sites with clean SEO foundations, and honest advice about what will and will not bring in customers.

How we work

  • Clear prices. Every price on our site is the price you pay, in rand, with renewals at the same rate. We are not VAT-registered, so nothing is added at checkout.
  • Annual or monthly. Pay hosting once a year if you prefer one invoice to a monthly debit.
  • Quick turnaround. Static websites are usually live within 24 hours of receiving your content; WordPress sites in about a week.
  • Support that knows your setup. The same team builds, hosts and supports your site. Tickets are open 24/7.

Kevin from web design hosting has been excellent to work with for the last 10 years. He handled the design and hosting of our website for Zeek Gold and made the whole process easy from start to finish. He’s responsive, explains things clearly, and always follows through on what he promises. He built / redesigned our site at zeekgold.co.za, and whenever we’ve needed changes or help, he’s sorted it…
