A provider’s Hosting Horizon Score is calculated automatically from approved user reviews. Each review rates five criteria (performance, reliability, pricing, support and features). Every criterion starts from a neutral baseline, so a handful of reviews can’t swing a score, and newer reviews count more than older ones. The same formula applies to every provider and can’t be bought. How Hosting Horizon Score works
Hosting Horizon is free to use. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change Hosting Horizon Scores, which come from user reviews only. Providers that offer our readers an exclusive coupon may be featured at the top of our lists, labeled Exclusive Deal. Read our advertising disclosure

Nairobi
Johannesburg
Accra
LagosWith locations in Nairobi, Johannesburg, Accra, and Lagos, HOSTAFRICA offers lower latency for African audiences than most international hosts.
Shared, managed WordPress, VPS, dedicated, website builder, and reseller hosting cover nearly every hosting need under one provider.
Both DirectAdmin and cPanel are available across several service types, giving customers flexibility in how they manage their accounts.
New customers can request a refund within 30 days if a plan doesn’t work out.
All four data center locations are in Africa, which may mean higher latency for sites primarily targeting audiences in Europe, Asia, or the Americas.
With sixteen shared hosting plans and twenty-one VPS plans, narrowing down the right tier takes more comparison than with simpler lineups.
Only credit card, PayPal, and wire transfer are accepted, without bitcoin or other cryptocurrency options some competitors offer.
