📄 Editorial Review

Absolute Hosting is a South African web hosting and domain provider based in Centurion, Gauteng. The company is a good fit for local SMEs, developers, agencies, resellers, WordPress users, and customers who want hosting infrastructure located inside South Africa rather than overseas. Its strongest service areas are WordPress Hosting, cPanel Hosting, DirectAdmin Linux Hosting, Windows Hosting, .NET Core Hosting, Linux VPS, Windows VPS, Ryzen VPS, Email Hosting, Bulk SMTP, Domain Registration, SSL Certificates, and Reseller Hosting.

The company was founded in 2018 by Jade Benson and has built a technical reputation around South African-hosted infrastructure, modern AMD CPU platforms, domain automation, and practical hosting services for local businesses. In 2026, Axxess acquired Absolute Hosting, but the brand continues to operate independently with the same team, support model, pricing structure, and service levels. This is an important point for existing customers because the acquisition gives Absolute Hosting a stronger ownership background without changing the day-to-day hosting experience.

The hosting portfolio is broad. Linux shared hosting is based on DirectAdmin, LiteSpeed, SSD/NVMe storage, Softaculous, SSL, malware protection, email accounts, and South African data center hosting. cPanel hosting uses cPanel, AMD EPYC Genoa processors, NVMe storage, Sitejet AI website builder, Softaculous, WP Toolkit, MagicSpam PRO, Imunify360, JetBackup, and free website/email migration. WordPress hosting is more performance-focused, with LiteSpeed Enterprise, Redis object caching on high-performance plans, HTTP/2, QUIC, WordPress staging, cloning, one-click installs, Imunify360, JetBackup, and Gen5 NVMe options on newer packages.

Windows hosting is also available, which is useful because many smaller hosts focus only on Linux. Their Windows and .NET Core Hosting plans support ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, MVC, Classic ASP, MySQL, MS SQL, SmarterMail, and the SolidCP control panel. For businesses running Microsoft-based applications, this gives Absolute Hosting a broader product range than a typical WordPress-only or cPanel-only host.

The VPS range is one of the company’s clearest strengths. Absolute Hosting offers AMD EPYC VPS servers, Windows VPS servers, AMD Ryzen VPS servers, and newer AMD VPS boxed deals. Current VPS lines include Milan, Genoa, Turin, EPYC 4004, and Ryzen-based options, with full root or administrator access, noVNC access, firewall management, PTR/reverse DNS control, optional backups, and client-area VPS management. This makes the company especially interesting for developers, sysadmins, SaaS projects, high-performance WordPress sites, and South African businesses that need local virtual servers.

Absolute Hosting also has a serious domain and reseller profile. Domain registration includes .co.za, .africa, .com, .org.za, and other local or international extensions. Domain services include free DNS management, DNSSEC, free URL forwarding, multi-year registration and renewal options, and a reseller program with WHMCS/API support. The acquisition of ZA Domains strengthened their position in the .ZA domain and registrar automation space.

The website is in English and prices are shown in South African Rand (ZAR). The design is modern enough and much better than an old static hosting site, although the product structure is dense because the company maintains many hosting lines, control panels, CPU generations, and reseller options. For technical users this is useful, while beginners may need to compare packages carefully before ordering.
