This blog jumps the locally hosted ship. 👐 Web AddiCT 🇿🇦

R4000 for bandwidth hosting this blog in South Africa vs R400 for the same amount of traffic almost anywhere else on earth.

While we’re at it we’re changing the domain name to www.webaddict.co.za Can anyone guess why?

What do you have to do excpet wait for the page to load a little longer if you’re in South Africa? Absolutely nothing. Why? It has already been moved 🙂

As I said before it’s a pointless argument wanting to host in South Africa. Rather focus your energy on providing your services. The World Is Flat and Internet is the great leveller of our age. So good on you for making this move finally. I have been hosting in USA for years now and my clients all benefit from cheap hosting with superb support. And nobody has ever complained about the speed of web pages loading – ever!
