Frequently Asked Questions
No. Whogohost is a subsidiary of HOSTAFRICA.
Whogohost operates as its own brand with its own products, support team, and customer experience, but it runs on HOSTAFRICA’s infrastructure, data centres and accreditations. That means you get local Whogohost service backed by a larger African hosting group.
“Powered by HOSTAFRICA” means:
- Whogohost uses the same data centres and core infrastructure as HOSTAFRICA.
- Whogohost benefits from HOSTAFRICA’s official domain registry accreditations and industry memberships.
- Whogohost customers share the same security, uptime and compliance standards as the wider HOSTAFRICA group.
You interact with Whogohost, but the “engine” behind your hosting is HOSTAFRICA’s group platform.
Yes. Whogohost services are hosted in the same carrier-neutral, enterprise-grade data centres used by HOSTAFRICA, including facilities in:
- Johannesburg, South Africa
- Nairobi, Kenya
- Lagos, Nigeria
- Accra, Ghana
This shared footprint gives Whogohost customers low latency, strong redundancy, and high physical and network security.
Yes. Through HOSTAFRICA, Whogohost benefits from direct accreditations with African and global domain registries and authorities. This includes multiple African country-code registries (such as .NG, .ZA and others) and global authorities like ICANN and Verisign.
For you, this means:

- Clearer ownership and compliance for your domains
Yes. Because Whogohost runs on the same infrastructure and partners as HOSTAFRICA, you inherit the same:
- Data centre security controls
- Business continuity and redundancy practices
- Industry standards and certifications held by HOSTAFRICA’s data centre and network partners
You’re getting Whogohost’s local service with group-level security and reliability.
Your day-to-day relationship is with Whogohost:
- Whogohost handles your billing, support and account management.
- HOSTAFRICA provides the underlying infrastructure and accreditation framework.
If any issue touches infrastructure, domains or data centres, Whogohost works with HOSTAFRICA internally so you still only need to talk to one support team.
Whogohost designs its own products and pricing for its markets, but it can leverage HOSTAFRICA’s group infrastructure and partnerships to stay competitive.
In other words: you still buy Whogohost plans, but they benefit from HOSTAFRICA’s scale, technology stack and partnerships behind the scenes.
Choose Whogohost if you want:
- A local brand and team focused on your market
- Support and communication tailored to Whogohost customers
- The same underlying infrastructure, data centres and accreditations as the HOSTAFRICA group
You’re not choosing one infrastructure over another, you’re choosing the Whogohost experience on top of HOSTAFRICA’s backbone.
