SOUTH AFRICAN HOSTING VERSUS USA HOSTING
You are here: Solutions > Shared Web Hosting > Linux Hosting Packages > Location: ZA vs. USA

We provide our customers with a choice of either locally (South Africa) or internationally (USA) based hosting solutions.

Cost of Bandwidth

Highly developed Internet infrastructures and competitive market conditions make bandwidth prices in the US extremely cost effective.

The cost of bandwidth in South Africa is slowly decreasing however it is still relatively high compared to other countries. Wherever possible, DigiServ™ Technologies cc passes on these cost saving benefits to our customers, ensuring very competitive rates relative to local market conditions.

Transferring your hosting package to our USA hosting location is a good decision if:

  • Your website generates high volumes of traffic, resulting in an escalation of costs.
    Your website is targeted at reaching an international market.
    We recommend local hosting only if you are specifically targeting African markets or if you require very fast local speeds.


Hosting in South Africa
Hosting in USA
Optimum access to local target market Optimum access to international target market
Data Transfer (Bandwidth) over usage pricing is 100x more expensive Data Transfer (Bandwidth) far less costly
Minimal probability of international latency Websites accessed from SA load marginally slower
High speed connectivity for South African users Infrastructure between North America and Europe is excellent and a speed differential is hardly noticeable
Far smaller data transfer limits Far greater data transfer allowance
Website visitors are less likely to be affected by local ISP bandwidth limitations SA website visitors' bandwidth quotas are more likely to be exhausted by visiting your website internationally (due to limited international bandwidth capacity, as applied to ADSL users, for example)

TESTIMONIALS

I am very impressed with your pricing. At the moment I am hosting two web sites with another South-African web host, and you are the first to give better prices than they do.
