Hetzner (Pty) Ltd is a web hosting company based in South Africa.[1][2]
History[edit]
Hetzner was founded in 1999 by Hans Wencke with its headquarters located in Cape Town and data centre facilities in Samrand (Gauteng) and Newlands (Cape Town).[3]
In March 2000, Hetzner’s hosting accounts were transferred to co-located servers in the (then) UUNET data centre, Great Westerford Building, Newlands, Cape Town.[3] In 2003, the company established its head office at Frazzitta Business Park, Durbanville.[3] In 2004, the company established a data centre in Gauteng.[4][5]
In 2009, Hetzner hosted over 130,000 domains for approximately 25,000 SME customers.[6] In January 2013, Hetzner was appointed as an accredited Registrant to better facilitate the administration of .CO.ZA domains.[7]
In June 2014, Hetzner started offering Colocation services in Johannesburg for customers wanting to maintain complete control over their hardware and server administration.[8]
In March 2016, Hetzner became the second South African host of the Johannesburg Internet Exchange (JINX), and the first to receive a 10Gbit/s connection upgrade.[9] In August 2016, Hetzner hosted over 272,000 domains.[10]
Hetzner (Pty) Ltd is quite different from its German namesake and partner company, Hetzner Online GmbH. The two are separate companies registered and incorporated under the applicable their country laws within their own rights. Both companies do not have the same shareholders.
