📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

Stallion Hosting is a South African hosting and domain-registration company based in the Durban area of KwaZulu-Natal. The business has operated since 2009, with Daniel Hall as owner. It remains a relatively small, owner-managed provider, with a business model centered on affordable Linux hosting, reseller services, domain registration and website-related services for individuals, small businesses and web agencies.

The company is also an accredited .co.za registrar and appears in the registrar directory maintained by ZADNA, with its Durban contact details. This local registrar role is useful for South African customers who prefer to keep domain registration, hosting and support with the same provider.

The main portfolio covers Shared Web Hosting, Corporate Hosting, Reseller Hosting, USA Reseller Hosting, Domain Registration, Website Design, website-building tools and related support services. The ordering system also contains categories for Budget Hosting, VPS Hosting, Domain Parking and support services, although the shared, corporate and reseller ranges remain the most clearly defined parts of the current service.

The standard South African shared-hosting range consists of Colt, Mare and Stallion. Colt provides 512 MB of web space, unlimited bandwidth, one website, two databases and five email accounts. Mare increases capacity to 4 GB, three websites, six databases and ten email accounts, while Stallion provides 6 GB, ten websites, twenty databases and twenty email accounts.

All three packages use cPanel and include free SSL certificates, Softaculous, PHP support, an online file manager and one-click application installation. Common CMS and e-commerce software such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento and Moodle can be deployed through the hosting environment. The platform also incorporates CloudLinux, Imunify360, antivirus, anti-malware and DDoS protection, providing a security layer more substantial than basic unmanaged shared hosting.

The Corporate Hosting range is designed for customers needing more storage and larger email allocations, particularly businesses relying heavily on IMAP mailboxes. Corporate 1 provides 10 GB of storage, three websites, six databases and 50 email accounts. Corporate 2 increases this to 15 GB, six websites, twelve databases and 100 email accounts. Corporate 3 provides 20 GB of upgradable storage, ten websites, twenty databases and unlimited email accounts. Bandwidth is unlimited across the corporate range, while cPanel, Softaculous, SSL and the same general security stack remain available.

The South African Reseller Hosting service combines cPanel with WHM, giving agencies and hosting resellers the ability to create separate customer accounts. Standard provides 20 GB of disk space and up to ten cPanel accounts, Proseller provides 40 GB and twenty accounts, while Agency increases capacity to 80 GB and forty accounts. Bandwidth is unlimited on these packages. Individual customer accounts receive cPanel, Softaculous, file management, antivirus and the hosting platform's DDoS and malware protections.

A separate USA Reseller Hosting range remains available for customers wanting their hosting accounts in the United States. Base USA includes 40 GB of storage and 800 GB of monthly bandwidth, Pro USA provides 50 GB and 1,000 GB, and Corporate USA provides 100 GB and 2,000 GB. These plans include cPanel/WHM, account creation, overselling support, unlimited email accounts, Softaculous, domain-selling functionality and a website builder. Prices are available in both South African rand and US dollars, making this range more practical for resellers serving international customers.

Domain Registration is another important part of the business. The registration catalog includes South African domains as well as conventional international extensions and newer generic TLDs. Available extensions include .co.za, .org.za, .com, .net, .org, .joburg, .durban, .capetown, .africa and .ai, among many others. Domains are registered using the customer's details, so ownership remains with the customer, and domain transfers can also be handled through Stallion Hosting.

The number of available extensions is presented inconsistently across different parts of the service, with one section referring to more than 70 extensions and another referring to more than 200. In practice, the live domain-registration catalog contains a substantial selection of country-code and generic extensions.

Website creation is available alongside hosting. The Website Package combines domain registration, one year of hosting and a five-page website for a fixed initial charge. A website builder is also included with regular hosting and reseller products, giving customers a choice between building a site themselves and purchasing a small completed website package.

The customer-facing website is in English, while cPanel itself supports multiple interface languages. Available control-panel languages include English, Portuguese, French, Dutch, Norwegian, Spanish, German, Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian.

The frontend has a noticeably older design compared with modern hosting storefronts, and some knowledgebase content also reflects older software environments, including references to Outlook Express. Other legacy text includes references to Flash support and older SSL terminology. The news section has also become inactive: the latest announcement is dated November 3, 2023. The ordering and account-management systems remain operational, but customers should pay closer attention to checkout information and current account settings where older documentation conflicts with newer product details.
