What managed hosting and maintenance includes
You built a business — not a server administration career. Every item below is handled on your behalf, so you never have to chase updates, chase backups, or wonder whether your site is actually up right now.
Uptime monitoring
Continuous checks every minute. We're notified the moment anything goes offline so we can act before you notice.
Automated backups
Your site is backed up every 24 hours. A clean restore point is always available — no manual intervention required.
Security updates
Dependencies, patches, and security headers are reviewed and updated on a scheduled cadence, not left to accumulate.
Performance tuning
Images stay optimised, caching stays configured, and CDN delivery stays healthy as your site grows and changes.
Real-person support
When something needs attention — or you have a question — you reach us directly. No ticket queues, no knowledge-base rabbit holes.
SSL / HTTPS
A free SSL certificate is provisioned and renewed automatically. Your site is served over HTTPS from day one — always.
From detection to resolution — every time
When something unexpected happens with your site, a four-step process kicks in automatically — long before most business owners would even notice a problem.
Monitor
Uptime checks run every minute from multiple locations.
Detect
Any deviation from expected responses is flagged instantly.
Alert
We receive an immediate notification with context about what changed.
Fix
The issue is investigated and resolved — usually before your customers see anything.

Layers of protection — not just a padlock
A green padlock means HTTPS is active — but real security is deeper than that. Every hosted site gets the full stack below configured and maintained.
SSL / HTTPS
Free certificate, auto-renewed. All traffic encrypted in transit.
Security headers
Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and CORP set correctly.
Cloudflare CDN
Global edge caching, DDoS mitigation, and bot filtering without configuration overhead.
Malware scanning
Periodic scans catch injected scripts or unexpected file changes early.
Daily snapshots
Point-in-time backups retained so recovery options are always available.
Do I need separate hosting if xKemp builds my site?
No — hosting is built in. When xKemp builds your site it deploys to Vercel's enterprise edge network, with SSL, uptime monitoring and daily backups from the first deploy — and you own the account from day one. Costs, ownership, and exactly what the monthly service covers are spelled out in the FAQs below.
Reliable hosting for South African businesses
Hosting a South African business website has specific requirements. Edge delivery, local support availability, and infrastructure that handles mobile-heavy traffic are not optional extras — they are the baseline.
Global edge network, locally fast
Your site deploys to Vercel's worldwide edge network, served from the node closest to each visitor.
- Fast in Johannesburg, Cape Town and beyond
- Quick on both fibre and LTE
- Built for mobile-heavy SA traffic
Local support availability
We're based in South Africa, so support happens in your time zone — no overseas call centre.
- Same time zone, no language barrier
- Reach a real person, not a queue
- Support that fits an SA business
Peace of mind for SA SMEs
Most SMEs don't have an in-house IT team watching the servers — so we handle that layer.
- You focus on customers and sales
- We manage the infrastructure
- We flag only what needs your attention
No surprise bills or lock-in
You own your hosting account from day one, with costs agreed upfront — never silently billed.
- Scoped to your plan, reviewed with you
- Everything transfers cleanly if you leave
- No lock-in — keeping you is earned
South African small businesses rarely have a dedicated IT team — and that is exactly who managed hosting is for. xKemp is based in South Africa, so support happens in your time zone, in plain language, from someone who understands the local context. The infrastructure stays invisible: fast when it is working, and fixed before you notice when it is not.
