About Ultimate Host
We have been in business since 2004 where we starting out with a complement of only 2 staff developing websites. We have used over 20 different website hosting companies for our own sites and were never really happy with what we saw. We then decided to purchase our own servers all over the world and manage them ourselves. We have both local and international servers and now host over 500 websites and have registered over 2000 domains for clients! Our servers are always well maintained.
- In Business since 2004

Superfast Servers

As we grow, so do our staff. All emails get forwarded automatically to the quality control personell. Complaints get handled as fast as our servers too!
Dedicated Whatsapp Support
We have a dedicated Whatsapp number that is 24/7 to assist you. If more technical knowledge for some reason is required, we have a dedicated email address that we give you when you sign up alongside the Whatsapp number.
99% Uptime Guarantee
For the past 4 years, we have had 100% uptime. Our biggest downtime so far was for just over 30 seconds on 1 of our servers. We are not just committed to delivering you the best in uptime, but also on our customer support. You are in good hands
Testimonials
Please have a look at some of our testimonials from our clients over the years. We try to keep things recent and update from time to time. Numbers and email addresses are also available upon request.
We have been hosting with Ultimatehost for the past 7 years and our website has not gone offline once in that time. We are very happy with your quick support especially the one time we caused our own website to crash. You quickly restored my backup to reflect the working website.

After struggling for over 2 months with a ##### ####, we gave up and moved our website to Ultimate Host. We are no longer struggling with a website that times out when it gets busy during the day with all our products on the system.

Thank you for installing custom software on your server so that website would be able to interact with 3rd party API's. We couldn't have done it without your support.

We had a big dispute with ######## who held our domain at ransom. Ultimatehost contested the domain for us and after they helped us get evidence, the domain was finally transferred over to us by the domain registrar. You have no idea how grateful I am.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Once purchasing hosting, how long till my site gets active?
Depending on your requirements, you can be up and running within half a hour. If you already have a domain name, it will need to be transferred over to your hosting server with us which usually takes 24 hours. We help you get the process going as fast as possible. If you have a new domain name through us, within a few minutes to half an hour is the usual time it takes.
-
What if we need more website space?
Our ultimate plan provides plenty of space and dedicated resources. However, if you require more space, we can create a custom package for you. Most people with big shopping carts with thousands of products start out with the Ultimate package and simply purchase more space. For some of our clients, we provide a dedicated server.
-
Do you only sell shared hosting packages?
Most of our clients make use of our shared plans and some use either a Virtual or Dedicated server. We look at your requirements and customise a solution that is right for you. If you are brave enough, you can manage your own server which you hire from us on a monthly basis.
-
What payment methods do you accept?
We work with both Credit Cards, Direct EFT as well as normal EFT. Normal EFT will only work for our Annual hosting plans as well as domain fees.
-
Do you allow mailing lists?
We do allow mailing lists but have a restriction as to how many emails can be sent every few minutes. You can use a dedicated server with dedicated IP address to lift all these restrictions. This is why most people use Mailchimp, MailerLite or similar dedicated solutions for these purposes.
-
Do you provide SSL?
All our hosting solutions include a free SSL certificate. It is the standard and any website not using these technologies, should not even be accessed for security purposes. Nothing needs to be setup your side. We make it simple for you.
-
Do you provide a proper CPANEL account?
Yup. We support the most popular control panel in the world. Once you sign up with us, you will receive your login details to the control panel via email.
