Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? Our FAQ section provides clear answers to common questions about our reseller programmes and services.
Reseller hosting lets you buy web hosting services at wholesale prices and sell them to your own customers under your own brand. You set the packages, you set the prices, and your customers never know HOSTAFRICA is involved — they only see your business.
In South Africa, this model makes strong commercial sense. The number of SMEs, startups, and sole traders building their first website is growing rapidly. Most of them need a .co.za website, business email, and basic hosting — services you can deliver from day one without owning a single server.
Yes — and this is one of the reasons HOSTAFRICA is built for the South African market. For collecting payments from your own clients, WHMCS — the billing and automation platform included with reseller plans — supports local payment gateway integrations. You can configure your payment options to suit your market.
No — individuals can sign up as a HOSTAFRICA reseller without a registered company. You do not need a Certificate of Incorporation or a business registration number to get started. However, if you plan to operate seriously, registering your business is recommended for tax and banking purposes.
You can sell a wide range of extensions, including global standbys (.com, .net, .org) and South African-specific extensions (.co.za, .joburg). You also have access to 50+ African regional extensions like .ng (Nigeria), .ke (Kenya), and .africa.
HOSTAFRICA operates on a fully white-label model. Your customers contact you — your business name, your email address, your support channels. You handle customer-facing support (Tier 1), and if there's a technical platform issue you can't resolve, you escalate it to us (Tier 2/3). We resolve it on the backend and report back to you.
Yes — you have full control over your pricing. HOSTAFRICA charges you a wholesale rate, and everything above that rate is yours to keep. This recurring income model allows you to build a book of monthly-paying customers with no restrictions on what you charge.
In most cases, under five minutes. Once you complete your sign-up and payment, your account is activated automatically, and you'll receive your login credentials to start creating client accounts immediately.
Yes. Internet penetration in South Africa has grown consistently, driving demand from small businesses, professionals, and organizations for websites and business email. The low startup cost and recurring revenue model make it a highly scalable and attractive opportunity.
