If you are considering Tremhost web hosting for an African business, these are the facts that matter: prices in US dollars that renew at the sign-up rate, local and international payment methods, cPanel hosting on LiteSpeed and NVMe, a written 99.9% monthly availability target, free migration and support from a team in Harare. This page sets out ten verifiable points, and the limits you should know about, so you can compare Tremhost with any other provider on the same terms.
1. A Harare company with a published address
Tremhost was founded in 2016 and is based at Office 3, Mezzanine Floor, Batanai Gardens, corner First Street and Jason Moyo Avenue, Harare. More than 13,000 domains run on its infrastructure. A physical address and company history are worth checking with any host before you trust it with your website and email.
2. Prices that renew at the same rate
Tremhost does not use introductory pricing. Plans renew at the price you signed up at, so year two costs the same as year one. Web hosting runs from $30 a year (Himalaya) to $25 a month (The Big Mike). Compare that with the renewal price, not the first-term price, of any other host.
3. Payment methods that work across the region
Bills are in US dollars and can be paid by EcoCash, InnBucks, ZimSwitch, Omari, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Tron or Litecoin. For businesses whose international cards are sometimes declined, this reduces the risk of a failed renewal taking a site offline. Outside Zimbabwe, card and cryptocurrency are the main options.
4. cPanel hosting on current server software
Every shared hosting plan includes cPanel, LiteSpeed, CloudLinux and NVMe storage, plus free SSL that renews automatically, unlimited mailboxes on your domain and daily backups. LiteSpeed caching helps WordPress sites, and CloudLinux keeps one busy account from slowing others.
5. A written uptime commitment
Tremhost’s service level agreement sets a 99.9% monthly availability target for hosting, email and servers, with service credits if it is missed. A 99.9% target allows roughly 43 minutes of downtime in a 30-day month.
6. Free migration from another host
Tremhost moves cPanel sites free, typically within 24 hours. Your site stays live on the old host until it has been copied, tested and switched over. Details are on the migration page.
7. Support with published hours
Support is by ticket, WhatsApp on +263 73 563 9917 and booked call, Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00 CAT. That is not round-the-clock, and Tremhost does not claim it is. For hacked sites, Armor SOS provides free same-day triage and then quotes the cleanup.
8. A path from a first website to your own servers
- Managed WordPress from $15 a month, with updates tested on staging, malware removal and Cloudflare Pro on every site.
- Business email from $5 a month for 50 mailboxes.
- Reseller hosting from $7 a month for agencies and designers.
- Unmanaged KVM VPS from $15 a month with dedicated cores; managed cPanel VPS from $80 a month.
- Dedicated servers for heavier workloads.
You can start small and move up without changing provider.
9. Security services built on Cloudflare
Tremhost is a Cloudflare partner. Its Armor Guard service is Cloudflare Pro, configured and monitored by Tremhost, for $9 a month per site; Armor Shield is Cloudflare Business at $200 a month. Cloudflare has a data centre in Harare. Tremhost also supplies ESET endpoint security.
10. A refund window to test the service
First orders of web hosting, managed WordPress, business email and reseller hosting have a 30-day refund. Use it to test the service with your own site before you commit.
What to know before you buy
- No data centre in Zimbabwe. Shared hosting runs on servers in Europe and the USA. VPS plans are available in Johannesburg, New York, Miami, Limburg and Roubaix. See the data centres page.
- Billing in US dollars only. There is no billing in other local currencies.
- Support is business hours. Plan around Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00 CAT.
- Unmanaged VPS means you run the software. Choose managed options if you do not have Linux skills.
Who Tremhost tends to suit
- Small and medium businesses that want a website and staff email on one bill, paid locally in US dollars.
- Schools, NGOs and professional bodies that need hosting, email and security without a large IT team.
- Web designers and agencies that host client sites under their own brand.
- Developers who want a root-access VPS in Johannesburg, Europe or the USA at a fixed monthly price.
If your business needs hosting physically inside your own country for regulatory reasons, or round-the-clock human support, check those requirements carefully before choosing any provider.

- Read each provider’s SLA and refund terms.

- Check support channels and hours in your time zone.
