While the length of the domain life and design have absolutely nothing in connection with service delivery, the contract is something to look into. While I don't think it is professional for competitors to post ridicule about unimportant things (see my sentence above), in web hosting you do get what you pay for, most of the time.

JasonH, I agree with you.
They have the best price I've seen so far and a really good product, but their website looks a little bit doggy, maybe a scam.
They don't even have an address or phone number, not even a credit card payment option.
But I'll see....

I never said it had anything to do with service delivey but those facts should be taken into account by the OP.

I just switched to GoDaddy now .. paid a year in advance - around $6.64 per month for their deluxe hosting plan. Has everything that i need plus stacks of space and monthly bandwidth.
One thing that you must be VERY careful for - many hosting solutions can sign up for as little as $4.95 or even $3.95 per month if you pay for a year in advance, but once that year is over, expect to pay around $9.95 per month.

GoDaddy?
Expect a lot of email from them and God help you if you forget your password. If you screw it up just once while there is a credit card on file with them they disable your access. Getting it back is a mission from hell...
I had about 30+ domains with them which I have now moved away purely because of their ridiculous systems and policies.

Why don't you check out this comparison website on my signature. You will be able to compare companies for features, speed and uptime.
I hope this helps. Check them out before choosing a website host. Trust me it sucks to try move from host to host.
oh... And stay away from... rather check the website out!

Technically, if you offer 5GB local bandwidth @ R59, then you're selling the bandwidth @ 1c/MB - this isn't remotely possible in South Africa, so how do you do it?

says who? We also host local
I've also been wondering this. I would love to get some local rackspace with 1c/MB bandwidth thrown in.

I also host with Hetzner. One of the better hosting companies imo.

Uniforum - http://co.za
ok thats obviously the main place. I'm looking for somewhere I can get it done quick and easily. I've found some sites selling them for R99 which seems kinda expensive

honestly, you're probably not going to get a domain registration @ R50 ( Uniforum's price) without taking a hosting package what that ISP. They'll loose out, and there's probably no point for them todo all the work and not gain anything out of it.
