We\u2019re very excited to share the news! We have started construction on our second data centre in Samrand, Gauteng.<\/span><\/p>\n

This expansion is a significant milestone in our long-term strategy to support customer growth with scalable, reliable infrastructure, building on 25 years of trust in South African hosting.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new facility will be modelled on our first Samrand Data Centre\u2019s proven design while introducing further efficiency improvements to support next-generation Cloud, Colocation, and Self-Managed Server products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Infrastructure that scales with you<\/b><\/h3>\n

By expanding our footprint in Samrand, we are strengthening our ability to deliver dependable hosting at scale for customers across all stages of growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Strategically located between Johannesburg and Pretoria, the new facility takes advantage of Samrand\u2019s power infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Built for efficiency and reliability<\/b><\/h3>\n

Sustainability and operational excellence remain at the core of our infrastructure design. The new facility builds on our commitment to exceeding industry benchmarks:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Operational efficiency: <\/b>Our existing Samrand Data Centre continues to outperform industry benchmarks for power efficiency. The new facility builds on this proven foundation, enabling higher energy capacity to support our expanding product portfolio, including the recent addition of xneelo Cloud, while maintaining high levels of efficiency and availability.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Reliable hosting: <\/b>Designed to support hosting at scale, our infrastructure supports next-generation Cloud, Colocation, and Self-Managed Server products.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Growing for the future<\/b><\/h3>\n

    \u201cWith more than two decades of hosting expertise, we know that infrastructure is the backbone of the digital economy,\u201d says Deon de Villiers, xneelo\u2019s CEO. \u201cBy expanding our Samrand footprint, we\u2019re building for the future of South African businesses, ensuring they have the stability and scalability needed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    Construction will progress throughout 2026, with an estimated completion date of October 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n
