Frequently Asked Questions
What is a South Africa native IP?
A South Africa native IP is registered in South Africa and belongs to a local carrier, so its geolocation matches the data center in Johannesburg instead of being announced from another country. Region-locked websites, apps and platforms recognize it as a genuine local IP.
What is the difference between residential IP, home broadband IP and ISP IP?
Residential and home broadband IPs come from local home broadband ranges, so platforms see them as regular household users. ISP IPs are assigned and announced by a local ISP, combining residential-type attribution with data-center stability. Contact our team before ordering to choose the right type.
Can a South Africa server unlock Netflix and TikTok?
With a South Africa native or residential IP you can access platforms such as Netflix and TikTok. Platform policies change, so contact us for a test before ordering.
Can I sell on Takealot or Amazon South Africa?
Yes. Takealot is South Africa's largest marketplace; a local IP for your seller dashboard — with a separate IP per store — lowers unusual-login and linking risks.
Can I watch Showmax or DStv?
These services focus on South Africa and Africa and work with a South Africa native or residential IP. Policies change, so ask us for a test before ordering.
Can a South Africa server serve other African countries?
Johannesburg is a network hub for southern Africa, covering South Africa and neighboring countries for websites, e-commerce and apps.
Is it suitable for China–Africa trade?
Yes. Fast local access plus CN2 routes to China keep websites and dashboards stable for teams in China.
How fast is a South Africa VPS from mainland China? Is ICP filing needed?
South Africa is far from China, but CN2 routes make the connection to China far more stable than ordinary international links. Servers are outside mainland China, so no ICP filing is required.
What configurations and operating systems are available for South Africa VPS?
Choose 1–16 vCPU, 512MB–16GB RAM, 20–240GB SSD, 500GB–3TB monthly traffic and 50–200Mbps ports. The entry plan is Linux only; other plans support Linux and Windows, and you can upgrade at any time.
