Fast VPS Hosting in South Africa

Domains.co.za VPS hosting provides a virtual server with allocated CPU, memory, and storage running on shared physical hardware. It gives you operating system control and root access, and you are responsible for configuring and maintaining that environment.

Domains.co.za’s Linux VPS Hosting starts at R209* per month, with applicable VAT and billing terms shown at checkout. Licences and optional add-ons may be charged separately. See our Linux VPS Hosting plans for current pricing.  
 
*Ts and Cs apply. 

When comparing Domains.co.za VPS Hosting prices and plans, consider resources such as the processor platform, memory type, storage type, port speed, contract terms, and separately billed add-ons. A lower VPS price may come with different CPU, RAM, storage, or included services. 

Choose a Domains.co.za Linux VPS Hosting plan based on your application's minimum requirements, CPU and memory usage, storage, concurrent workload, and expected growth. If you are moving from another server, use your current resource usage to guide your choice. For new applications, check the software requirements before selecting a plan. 

A VPS running cPanel, WooCommerce, PHP applications, or databases may need 4 GB of RAM or more, depending on the software configuration and workload. Multiple websites and resource-intensive applications may require 8 GB, 16 GB, or more. Always check your software requirements and current memory usage before selecting a Domains.co.za VPS Hosting plan. 

Domains.co.za manages the physical infrastructure, virtualisation layer, network connectivity, IP allocation, power and cooling, and keeps the VPS powered and reachable. You are responsible for managing the operating system, security hardening, firewall, installed software, applications, data, and workload monitoring.

Backups are automatic. Every Domains.co.za VPS Hosting plan includes a free monthly backup snapshot. More frequent backups are billable at 30% of the plan cost. To restore, select your VPS and the required backup in the Backups or Snapshots section, and confirm the restoration. The selected backup will replace your current VPS data, and the server may restart during the process.

A self-managed VPS requires administration. You are responsible for operating system updates, security, firewall configuration, installed software, and applications. This means any configuration problems are yours to resolve. VPS resources also need to be sized and upgraded according to your current workload. 

No. Domains.co.za does not offer a free VPS or a free VPS trial. However, eligible VPS Hosting plans are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee, subject to the applicable terms and conditions and the published guarantee policy. 

Technically, a VPS can be hosted at home, but it requires reliable power, internet connectivity, appropriate IP configuration, security, and uptime management. Hosting your VPS in a professional data centre offers an infrastructure environment designed for continuous server operation. 

Domains.co.za allows you to change your VPS resources where the applicable plan and infrastructure allow it. CPU, RAM, and storage upgrades may be available, while reducing disk capacity can have additional restrictions. Changes may result in an interruption depending on the resource being changed. 

Your VPS is provisioned after payment, and provisioning requirements are completed. Existing websites can be migrated depending on compatibility and migration requirements. You remain responsible for the migration unless a separate migration service has been agreed.

Your VPS is hosted at the Teraco Isando N+1 Data Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa. Domains.co.za operates network infrastructure, including AS327979, with peering at NAPAfrica Johannesburg.
