This blog will explain how much RAM do I need for a VPS. When choosing a Virtual Private Server (VPS) plan, the wrong sizing can lead directly to poor performance and wasted money.

What Is VPS Hosting? A South African Guide

A VPS is a virtual machine sold as a service, with its own operating system, root access, and a fixed share of a physical server’s CPU, memory, and storage. A hypervisor built into Linux VPS hosting manages hardware partitioning, giving you a virtualised environment. Unlike shared hosting, you aren’t limited by other tenants; unlike dedicated servers, you aren’t paying for an entire physical machine. In South Africa, the decision adds two variables overseas guides miss: physical server proximity relative to your visitors, and Section 72 of POPIA regarding offshore personal data transfers. In this post, we answer: What is VPS hosting, and is it right for you? KEY TAKEAWAYS A VPS gives you an isolated virtual server enviro […]

Do Keywords In Domain Names Still Matter For SEO In 2026?

Keywords in domain names have long been debated in the SEO world. Do they actually help your website rank? Should you choose a domain name that describes what your business does, or is it better to use your brand name? The short answer is ‘yes’, keywords in a domain name can still matter – but not in the way they once did. A keyword-rich domain name is no longer a shortcut to the top of Google. Search engines have become far better at understanding the quality, relevance and intent behind a website. Your domain name alone will not make a poorly SEO-optimised website rank. However, a well-chosen domain can still influence relevance, brand recall, click-through rates and how clearly visitors understand what your business offer […]

OpenAI Autonomous AI Agents Escape And Hack Hugging Face: What Happened?

In what feels like a bad sci-fi movie, ‘some’ autonomous AI agents broke out of an isolated test environment, accessed the internet, and hacked into a private database. All by themselves! According to OpenAI, the incident happened during an internal test designed to test how far advanced AI models could go when solving complex cyberattack scenarios. The models subsequently “escaped” containment and hacked Hugging Face. It wasn’t malicious, but they did act on their own, and that is the part we should take seriously. Generative AI risks are becoming harder to prevent, and attacks are happening faster. If your Web Hosting or site security is outdated; or something you keep saying “I’ll get to”, it makes it even […]
