What makes newshost.africa different?
What makes newshost.
africa different?
Hosting is just one of the services we provide to power up your publication.
Too many publishers rely on hosting providers and design agencies that do not understand the technical and editorial needs of news
Dedicated hosting
Every site is hosted on its own dedicated resources in our Johannesburg datacentre. Your server is fully scaleable, meaning you can start small and add more compute and storage as needed.
Advanced memory, HTML and image cache
Caching is the key to WordPress performance, and our triple caching will accelerate your site to blazing speeds. Good for readers, and Core Web Vitals.
We understand the technicalities of search for news
We provide everything you need for schema and sitemaps, as well as a monthly newsletter with all the changes to search algorithms.
Build a better audience through data
We’ll help you improve your relationship with your readers, by setting up advanced analytics and providing actionable insights for improving loyalty.
Full security audit and scanning
We don’t just add a security plugin and hope for the best. Your site will be locked down with daily scans looking for unauthorised changes.
24/7 support, and uptime guarantee
We partner with one of the world’s leading WordPress hosts, and can offer 24/7 support that’s just a text message away.
What about revenue?
We will help you place ads and monitor performance, as well as advise on reader revenue and business strategy.
We’ll even help you fight those AI bots that keep taking your site down…
We can help configure and manage your firewall, both at our host and at third party providers like Cloudflare as part of our end-to-end service.
