Africa In Focus

Africa In Focus: "The mainstream thinking now is that Africa is different and we could get it right if we want. The choice is fully ours, and it is now time for us to define what we want."

Pingdom Web Hosting Report on Africa





Swedish Web monitoring firm, Pingdom, recently posted the list of the list of the top one million website in the world. The report  revealed that Africa accounts for only 2,670 (0.27%) of the top one million website globally. 

Out of the world’s top 10,000 sites, only thirty-three are hosted in Africa, and among the top 100,000 sites, two hundred and fifty webs are hosted in Africa.



Pingdom says 69 percent of websites hosted in Africa are hosted in South Africa





According to Pingdom, Africa with its over 1 billion people, has reached a 13.5% Internet penetration rate, and there are plenty of big websites about the continent.

Although Egypt lead the pack occupying the top two position with masrawy.com and  ahram.org.eg respectively; South Africa accounts for five of the top ten website in Africa. The biggest site hosted in South Africa is news24.com, which lands in the number 3 place in the top 100 sites in Africa.
