Questions, answered

Something else on your mind? Talk to the team or open a ticket.

Do I need a domain and hosting?

Usually both. The domain is your address, like yourbusiness.co.za; hosting is where the website’s files live. A .co.za is free for the first year when you take 12 months of hosting or more.

Which plan should I start with?

Starter suits one business site or a portfolio. Choose Standard for several websites or a shop, and Advanced or Premier when you run many sites and mailboxes. You can move up from the client area at any time.

What do 12, 24 and 48 months mean?

You prepay the plan for that long at a lower monthly price: 20% off for 12 months, 35% for 24 and 50% for 48. It renews at the same period and price unless you change it.

How do I pay?

In rand, by card or Instant EFT through PayFast, or by bank transfer. Invoices and receipts are in your client area.

Is SSL included?

Yes. Every plan gets a free certificate that renews automatically, so your site loads over https with the padlock.

Can you move my existing website?

Yes. Tell us where it’s hosted now and how big it is, and we’ll agree the move, including your email, before anything changes.

Can I keep a domain I already own?

Yes. Point it at your hosting, or transfer it to Coolhost so renewals sit with the rest of your services.

Do backups really run daily?

Yes, on every plan. Ask us how long copies are kept and how restores work for your site.
