If you are planning for hosting with HostCow.co.za do your home work first. They have bad ever service I experience in my life time. My blog went Down for 7 days after I transferred it to HostCow.co.za.

The seem like just a reseller for an overseas company?
Seems like they are a re seller of http://www.adslwebhost.com/ which their website seems like either their closed or temp down.

There are plenty of hosting providers (like ourselves 
) who run their own servers, in redundant configurations, on local networks, with backups and proper disaster recovery processes and at similar prices to hostcow.

Agreed they are definitely not the best pay peanuts get monkeys
I have designed websites for people which i hosted on host cow. Their downtime is ridiculous!!! The company as a whole is ridiculous. i have moved all my clients to a company a friend of mine recommended, Virtual Domains Their prices are reasonable and i haven't had any problems so far.

Hostcow is a joke! The worst customer service ever. Stay far, far away!!
I speak from experience, had acouple of domains hosted there up until recently (latest outage).
Here is an except from a email sent from their support
I was rolling on the floor laughing so much. Hassle free - I was not able to get a response from them for more than 7 days.
Copy my backups to glintenterprises.com - NOT my domain!!
Like I said what a joke!
Moved all my domains to Elitehost and am a much happier chappy!
