We host the
internet’s next chapter.
y1.co.za was founded in Centurion, South Africa by engineers who were tired of hosting platforms that felt like they were built in 2005.
Make hosting boring.
Boring in the best way — predictable, fast, never the thing that breaks. You shouldn’t have to think about infrastructure to ship a product.
Cape Town, rooted globally.
Founded in Centurion, headquartered in Cape Town. Built for South Africa, expanded to the world. We believe the African internet deserves first-class infrastructure.
Where we are.
How we work.
No surprises
Transparent pricing, public status page, honest postmortems. We tell you when we screw up.
Engineers first
We build for builders. SSH, Git, APIs. The dashboard is for managers; the terminal is for makers.
Local roots
African infrastructure for African builders. We hire locally, train locally, and pay fairly.
Sustainable by default
100% renewable energy. Carbon-neutral operations. We offset what we can’t yet eliminate.
Ship small, ship often
Deploy 30+ times a day. We push to production the same way we tell you to.
Open by default
Public roadmap, public changelog, public status. We work in the open.
