Dedicated hosting in South Africa
Our Johannesburg edge keeps traffic on the continent — single-digit latency across South Africa and low latency into neighbouring markets, with POPIA-aligned in-region hosting.
Round-trip latency to African hubs
Johannesburg is the lowest-latency choice for Southern and East Africa. A future Lagos / Nairobi edge will bring West & East Africa even closer.
Representative round-trip times (ms) from each city to Johannesburg. Lower is better.
