Web Africa

Web Africa is South Africa’s largest independent Internet Service Provider (ISP). With a head office in Cape Town, Web Africa was founded in 1997 as an Internet hosting service provider. Web Africa now provides a full range of Internet services including ADSL, VDSL, hosting and domains, security and web design to over 30 000 customers.
History
Matthew Tagg founded Web Africa in 1997. Web Africa was started as a hosting-only provider which grew significantly under Tagg’s leadership, during which time the company pioneered innovative technologies in the South African market. In 2003 Rupert Bryant joined Tagg and helped to develop Web Africa from a hosting-only business to the full service Internet Service Provider it is today.
On 1 October 2011, Matthew handed over the CEO position to Tim Wyatt-Gunning, the founder of Storm Telecom.
Network
In February 2013 Web Africa announced that it would start routing its ADSL traffic via Internet Solutions’ backbone, after Web Africa had been managing its own proprietary IPC network from Cape Town for three years.
In April 2009, Web Africa became the first Internet service provider to move over to South Africa’s first vendor neutral Data Centre, Teraco. A vendor neutral data centre means that any provider can get direct connection to the servers, faster speeds, and better connections from any type of connection in South Africa.
