Go with the wrong web hosting company and you’ll end up paying for more than just bad service. You have to get this right because a reputable web host keeps your site online and helps you avoid unnecessary downtime.

This guide explains the best types of web hosting from different web hosting companies in Zimbabwe. Use these reviews to find the best web host without breaking the bank.

The Top 10 Best Web Hosting Providers​

1. Ecowebzim Solutions

Ecowebzim offers dependable web hosting at a great price. Budget Hosting Plans start at $1.25 for 2GB and Shared hosting plans start at $2.50 for 5GB, per month, which includes free weekly backups and enough bandwidth for your site visitors.

Like many of the other web hosts, there are 1-click installs for all the popular CMS tools like WordPress, Magento, and Drupal. Plus additional Cloud Storage allows customers to create, and manage workspaces, and store files and documents all for free. All hosting plans come with a free updated cPanel.

Normally you have to back up your site yourself or pay extra, but you get that peace of mind for free with Ecowebzim. The most popular option is the Power Shared Hosting plan which costs $4.00 per month. This lets you create up to 5 websites and host 25,000 visitors. You’ll also get a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate that auto-renews for a lifetime.

2. GetHost Zimbabwe

Ghost is one of the most popular web hosting companies in Zimbabwe, especially among people launching their WordPress websites. They offer great rates and a beginner-friendly platform that makes every aspect of running a WordPress website easy. You can certainly build other types of websites on Gethost.

The Basic shared hosting plan is usually $2.43 for 2GB per month, but there are major discounts if you are a new customer. Free domain & lifetime SSL included with a 1-year subscription.

They also offer 24/7 support available by Phone and live chat. They are typically very quick to respond and can assist with a wide range of issues.

3. Web dev Solutions

Web dev (Pvt) Ltd is one of Zimbabwe’s leading web hosting, online marketing, e-commerce, online payments, and web development company, with offices in Harare and Bulawayo.

If you run a big business and are not afraid to break the bank, We highly recommend WebDev. It’s also a great option for WordPress hosting, Email Hosting, and VPS solutions. We have to admit, their pricing structure is a bit confusing, it takes a couple of minutes to understand the fees accordingly and what you will be paying for.

Customer service is a little less traditional: email support is available 24/7, but live chat is only on during business hours, at least that’s what we have concluded after making our research.

4. Webzim Hosting

Webzine offers all the hosting essentials you need at a slightly higher price, If you don’t need a complex website, go with Webzine. Their packages are tailored for those with a limited need for hosting resources, i.e Storage is limited to just 10GB on their most expensive package and we noticed they're an inode limitation in place.

Unlike some hosts, Webzim only offers Email Support, Tickets, and Sometimes calls, but no 24/7 live chat. If you want a hosting plan that’s manageable and includes medium support, this is the host for you.

Overall, this is a great web host for simple deployment and uses like a company website that doesn’t necessarily see a ton of traffic each month.

5. Tremhost Hosting

Like other hosts, they provide an automatic 1-Click WordPress Installer and auto-updates to keep your WordPress site up to date. Their web hosting services are top-notch. They offer fast speeds, solid uptime, and great solutions for:

  • WordPress Hosting
  • Reseller Web Hosting
  • Virtual Private Servers
Their pricing is somewhat fair, starting from $5.00/mo for 2GB of NVMe fast storage, just like other companies on this list, Tremhost falls prey to having plans with limited resources and you would have to pay a slightly high fee to get at least up to 20GB of hosting storage.

They also offer 24/7 support available by phone, chat, or via their ticket system. They are typically very quick to respond and can assist with a wide range of issues.

6. ZimHero Web Solutions

Zimhero is a website hosting company based in Zimbabwe. They offer virtual private servers VPS), Email Hosting, and affordable domain registrations. At every hosting tier (shared, VPS), ZimHero Hosting beats most hosts on speed. If you’re coming from another shared web host, you’re likely going to see an improvement in loading speed once you migrate to ZimHero.

Their pricing is standard, starting from $4.17/mo for 1.5GB of SSD fast storage, just like other companies on this list, ZimHero falls prey to having plans with limited resources and you would have to pay a slightly high fee to get at least up to 5GB of hosting storage. Though they have a 99.9% uptime commitment & Free Auto Nightly Backups on all plans so you know you’ll have a reliable host that won’t be down often.

Support is available by Phone and Whatsapp. They are typically very quick to respond and can assist with a wide range of issues, we haven’t come across support complaints yet.

7. NivaCity Hosting

Vanity is a provider of Web Hosting, WordPress Hosting, Email Hosting, Domain Registrations, SSL Certificates, VPS, and Dedicated Servers. Hosting on NivaCity means you won’t have to worry about speed or security at all. It starts with the technology their hosting is built upon.

Their pricing is good, starting at $1.95/mo for 5GB of SSD storage, unlike other companies on this list, NivaCity does not fall prey to having plans with limited resources. They even offer unlimited storage on some of their plans, though they don’t seem to support the industry favorite cPanel. Their plans come with Plesk and Direct Admin which may be very to use for newbies.

They also offer 24/7 support available by phone and live chat. They are typically very quick to respond and can assist with a wide range of issues, but as of late, most clients have been complaining about their delayed support. We hope this has been rectified.

8. FreshSpot Hosting

Freshpet is a popular provider with 5+ years of hosting experience, and an impressive array of plans covering all kinds of applications. This starts with capable shared, website builder, and WordPress products, and prices start from only $3400 (ZWL) a month.

Their pricing is rather high, starting at $3400 (ZWL)/mo for 2GB of SSD storage, and like most companies on this list, FreshSpot falls prey to having plans with limited resources with their $10200 (ZWL) plan only giving the client 7GB. Which isn’t that bad if you can take care of the bill.

Whatever your preference, FreshSpot works harder than most to help keep your site running smoothly. There are 24/7 email support and live chat support, and calls.

9. PnrHost Hosting

PnrHost is one of the best Website Hosting providers in Zimbabwe and offers services like Domains, Website hosting, Email Hosting, and SSL Certificates. You can resell more powerful VPS plans for as little as $5.00/mo.

Unlike the more consumer-oriented competition, PNRHost doesn’t focus on cutting corners to hit some spectacular headline price. Instead, it builds fast and top-quality products first, and then just charges you whatever they happen to be worth. Their least-priced shared hosting plan starts from $4.99 for 25 GB of Storage.

Whatever your preference, PnrHost works harder than most to help keep your site running smoothly. There’s 24/7 phone, email, tickets, a support website, and Whatsapp.

10. Wimasco Hosting

Wimasco’s star products are its powerful shared hosting plans. Even the cheapest offers unlimited emails, a free domain for a year, Daily Backups, multi-user access, and free SSL for the lifetime of the account. Prices start low at $3.99 a month for 10GB Storage.

Whatever your preference, Wimasco works harder than most to help keep your site running smoothly. There’s 24/7 phone, email, tickets, a support website, and Whatsapp.

What else should I consider when picking a web host?​

Three or four-year hosting plans can have appealingly low prices, but they don’t always work out. If you’re unhappy with a host, or your site grows and the old plan can’t handle the increased traffic, you may have to buy something else early. It’s safer to sign up for a year (or even less), at least initially, and perhaps choose a VPS or similar plan where it’s easy to add more resources as required.

Uptime (the percentage of the day that your website is available) is a key stat for any serious website. If a potential customer can’t find or use your website, at best they’ll think you’re unprofessional, at worst they’ll give up on you entirely and go elsewhere.

Web hosting providers often quote uptime figures such as ‘99.9%’, but these don’t always cover the issues you might expect. Check the small print carefully for any hidden catches.
