Your own private server, managed by a real person — not a ticket queue.
One supplier, one invoice — and when your site or domain breaks, the person who already fixes your PCs fixes it.
VPS hosting from R149/month, with daily backups, monitoring and the same team that already runs Gigahost's own infrastructure on this exact tier.
Four tiers, all managed, all backed up.
Every local VPS seller we compared is self-service — no backups, no monitoring, no human to call. That's the gap. Every Gigahost VPS tier includes root access, daily off-server backups and a named support contact.
Starter
- Root access (Ubuntu/Debian/AlmaLinux)
- Daily off-server backup
- Basic uptime & resource monitoring
- Named support, same business day
Business
- Everything in Starter
- Free optional HestiaCP control panel
- Room for a real small-business app/booking system
Pro
- Everything in Business
- Same spec class our own production server runs on
- Multi-site / small agency use
Enterprise
- Everything in Pro
- Named contact, phone support
- Multi-tenant / resource-heavy apps
Prices shown are all-in — no VAT is currently added to Gigahost invoices. Application-level setup (WordPress, custom software, DB tuning) is billed separately, quoted up front.
What's included on every tier.
Root access, your choice of OS
Ubuntu, Debian or AlmaLinux — base OS hardening and firewall set up on provisioning, automatic OS security updates ongoing.
Daily off-server backup
Same UrBackup infrastructure already proven on Gigahost's own hosting backend — restore-tested, not theoretical.
Free HestiaCP (Business+)
Zero-cost control panel option — beats every competitor's paid cPanel/DirectAdmin add-on.
VPS hosting questions.
Is this managed or unmanaged?
Managed: base OS hardening, firewall, automatic security updates, daily off-server backup and monitoring are included on every tier. Application-level work (installing your own software stack, tuning a database) is scoped and billed separately.
Can I get cPanel or a control panel?
HestiaCP is included free from the Business tier up — the same panel Gigahost runs its own hosting on. A paid panel (cPanel/Plesk) can be added at extra cost if you specifically need it.
What if I outgrow my tier?
We can move you to the next tier up with minimal downtime. If your workload is bigger than Enterprise, we'll quote a custom spec.
