The tools you use every day, and the safety nets you hope you never need.
Files, databases, email accounts, DNS and one-click installs in the control panel web professionals already know.
Website files and databases sit on solid-state drives. Pair them with lean pages, optimised images and caching for quick loading.
A Let’s Encrypt certificate for every site, so visitors see https and the padlock.
Automatic copies of your website. Ask us about retention and restores for your plan.
Open a ticket from the client area and talk to a South African team.
Start with the website you need to run, then choose the home for it.
Tell us where your website lives now, how big it is and which mailboxes you use. We’ll agree what moves, what stays connected and the right time to switch, before anything changes.
Still deciding? Talk to the team or read how to choose hosting.
Your domain is your website’s address, such as yourbusiness.co.za. Hosting is the space where your website’s files live. You usually need both to publish a website, and a .co.za is free for the first year with 12 months of hosting or more.
Starter suits one business website or portfolio. Standard gives room for several sites or a WooCommerce shop. Advanced and Premier are for agencies and businesses running many sites and mailboxes. You can move up from the client area later.
You prepay the plan for the period you choose at a lower monthly price: 20% off for 12 months, 35% for 24 months and 50% for 48 months. The plan renews at the same period and price unless you change it.
Yes. Share your current platform, website size and email needs so the team can confirm compatibility, scope, timing and any costs before you move.
Yes. Every plan includes a free Let’s Encrypt certificate that renews automatically.
Each plan includes cPanel for files, databases, email and installs. Your services, domains, invoices and support tickets are in the client area at my.coolhost.co.za.
Start with the website you need to run. A business site or portfolio runs well on shared hosting; a WordPress shop needs enough storage for its catalogue and room for its plugins. Coolhost web hosting starts at R100 a month, or R50 a month when you prepay 48 months, and every plan includes cPanel, SSD storage, free SSL and daily backups.
Compare the renewal price, billing period, storage, database and mailbox limits, and backup arrangements, not only the headline price. If you’re moving an existing site, agree the migration scope and timing before you change DNS, and keep a recent backup.
Register a .co.za domain name for your business or connect one you already own, and add business email so customers can reach you at your own address. Building with WordPress? See WordPress hosting.
For applications that need their own server environment, compare Linux VPS hosting and dedicated servers; the listed VPS and dedicated configurations are hosted in the USA. Read how to compare hosting companies for a fuller checklist.
