Hosting, Domains & Email
Domains, hosting, custom email, and SSL — the full technical setup handled for you, with monthly management so it stays handled, or self-manage if you'd rather.
Domains, DNS, hosting, SSL, mail records — none of it is hard for us, and all of it is a headache for you. We set up and manage the full technical infrastructure behind your website and email, so your online presence just works.
What we build
The complete foundation under your website:
- Domain registration and management — registered in your name, renewals tracked so your domain never silently expires
- Fast, reliable website and app hosting on modern infrastructure (we deploy on Vercel)
- Custom email setup — info at your own domain instead of a Gmail address — via MXroute, with the DNS records that keep your mail out of spam folders
- SSL certificates, so your site shows the padlock and browsers trust it
- DNS configuration done correctly the first time, the thing most setup problems trace back to
This comes standard with every project we deliver, but we also offer it standalone — especially for businesses whose current website hosting and email setup in South Africa is scattered across providers nobody remembers signing up with.
How it works
We start with an audit of what you currently have: where the domain lives, who hosts the site, where email actually flows. Then we consolidate, fix, and document it — you get a clear record of what exists and where.
You pay a once-off setup fee. After that, a monthly management plan covers renewals, monitoring, security, and changes — or we hand you the keys and clear documentation if you'd rather self-manage. Either way, every account is registered in your name. You own it all; we just keep it running.
Why x Create
Hosting resellers sell you a server and disappear. We're the team that builds and maintains the actual websites, stores, and platforms running on that infrastructure — so when something breaks, you call one number and the people who answer can fix the whole stack, from DNS record to application code.
We manage hosting and email for clients in South Africa and internationally, from lodges to professional services. See our work for what runs on the setups we maintain.
We build. You grow.
Fair questions.
A once-off setup fee, then a monthly management plan if you'd rather never think about hosting again — or self-manage, since every account is in your name. Domain and hosting providers charge their own annual fees, which we set up in your name so you're billed directly and transparently.
You do — always. The domain, hosting, and email accounts are registered in your name with your billing details. We manage them on your behalf; we don't hold them hostage.
Yes, this is one of the most common things we do. We audit what you have, move what's worth keeping, fix DNS and email problems, and consolidate everything into a setup you can actually understand.
Your call — every account is in your name, so you can self-manage. But domains expire, SSL certificates lapse, and DNS breaks at inconvenient times, so most clients keep us on to catch those before they take a site or email down.
