Our Company

The Simple Host was formed in mid 2008 by a handful of BSc Computing graduates who excelled in system design, programming, network infrastructures and security. We have the experience and know-how to provide support above par when compared to other web hosting companies. Whatever your problem, a member of our team will be capable of fixing it. We are dedicated to this company full time and are available 24/7 to provide you with the quality support that you would expect.

As a company, we firmly believe in not overselling our servers, this means the product you purchase will be provided as shown, there are no hidden clauses or catches. You will be able to use all of the resources allocated to your account at any point in time. Some of our customers migrated from their previous host as they had been misled into believing they would receive more than they could use in reality.

Whether you choose us for your web hosting needs or another company, please remember this one thing: if something looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Good luck and kind regards,

All of our servers have an onsite backup taken daily and an offsite-offline backup taken once a week, which can be restored at your request.1

Dedicated servers are comprised using the highest quality hardware; we provided a number of products that we highly recommend. All of our servers come un-managed and with root access; this gives you total control of your server in a secure manor. Even though our servers come un-managed, we will be available for questions should you have any during your time as a client with us.
