About us

We’re passionate about web hosting.

At xneelo, it starts with purpose. We’re business enablers offering a hosting service for our customers to create and transact online. We spend each day working hard to retain the trust of our customers. Inspired by our brand promise ‘trusted in hosting’, we deliver a web hosting service that is reliable and consistent, focusing on infrastructure stability, good value and consistent service delivery.

Why we exist

We chose the name xneelo (pronounced ex-nee-lo) with care. Inspired by a Latin phrase that translates into the ability to ‘create something out of nothing’, we believe that xneelo represents the resourcefulness, ingenuity and industrious spirit of our customers – and of our own team. Your creativity, dreams and courage to start and grow a business inspires us every day. It’s an honour to serve and support the over 500 000 websites that call xneelo home.

More about our culture

It’s about our customers

Our Brand Manifesto

xneelo exists for and because of our customers: because of their creativity, their dreams and aspirations. We are a web curator: custodians of our customers’ hard work.

We exist to reflect their talents. We’re an art gallery, a design agency, a family business, a dream come true: we’re enabling the continuation of someone’s livelihood, we’re a serious hobby wanting to take flight.

We’re all of these things because our customers dare to step out and make something of themselves.

To create something that didn’t exist before.

We are driven by our customers

Our reputation is built one customer at a time. We make every effort to earn our customer’s trust. In all we do, we strive to meet expectations.

We operate with integrity

We strive to do what’s right and never compromise on our values. We honour our agreements and are honest in our communications.

We deliver on our promises

Our continued success depends on keeping our promises, to our customers and to our colleagues. We see ourselves as custodians of the resources entrusted to us.
