Try them. You will be pleasantly surprised.
I was forced recently to start looking for a trustworthy hosting provider after a nasty fallout with Afrihost. As always, the measure of a good company is the type of service one receive when things go wrong rather than when everything's running smoothly. So it was only after many years that I realized Afrihost made a mess of my account, mixing up my own account with that of some of my clients. After six weeks, they still weren't able to fix their accounting problems, and I have given up on them. Today, I am actually glad it happened as I have discovered a great new partner in Akooka. During the last five years, I have just about used every hosting company in South Africa at some stage, and I have never had the privilege of receiving such a trouble-free service from any. My kudos go to Edith and the team for the smooth transfer of four of my websites so far. With this type of service, I am trying to convince all my clients to change service providers. On the technical side, I have done a number of tests, and the servers are responsive, even faster than my previous host, and I have far more control over my websites. I have for a change absolutely nothing to complain about. Well done, Akooka and Edith!
