Hi all,

Are there any recommendations of hosting providers for a WordPress site?
I've been looking at Afrihost, WebAfrica, Hertzner.

Elitehost was suggested in another thread and they look quite promising. Anyone used them before?

Thanks in advance!
 
serv.co.za is cheap. Hetzner's support is great. I would go with them.
 
South African hosts have issues , why not go with a global provider such as namecheap

Elitehost is slower than hosts like HostKing, Web Crew and Ample because of LiteSpeed Php... Elitehost has great support, but honestly, I don't like slow sites ;)
 
i think Elitehost uses lightspeeds . Any assistance Elitehost rep on this?

Domains.co.za uses SSD so fast as all hell and their uptime is brilliant.

I'd avoid afrihost like the plaque when it comes to hosting. Trust me I have more than just a few VPS servers with them they're k@k.

Hetzner won't work for you, it's konsoleH and ag looking at your other thread I think cpanel will be a better option as we all work with it so free support is in abundance.

Yes, we do make use of LiteSpeed Web Server. There are a few local hosts that make use of LiteSpeed. HostKing and Web Crew mention the use of LiteSpeed on their websites. It offers performance, stability and security improvements over Apache, the default web server used with cPanel. We have benchmarked and used LiteSpeed since 2012 and are extremely happy with the improvement it offers.

We have recently deployed new cloud infrastructure with pure SSD based storage. This brings high performance and high availability to our hosting infrastructure. We are in the process of migrating our older servers to this new cloud infrastructure. All new hosting accounts are being setup on our new cloud infrastructure and feedback has been very positive. :)

Yes, any new reseller package orders and accounts set up within the last few months are hosted on our ssd cloud. Our older reseller servers will also be migrated over to our ssd cloud.
