What's moving where?
Some services will be moving to Webafrica while others will move to Gridhost
Why the move?
We've reached a pivot point and to do what we do best, we needed to make some changes.
In November 2017, Webafrica split up their Internet Access and Hosting sides of the business which allows for a more focused approach to their customers and industries. Gridhost is handling all Hosting services (Shared Hosting, VPS) and Internet Access (Fibre, LTE-A, ADSL, VOIP and Fax) is staying with Webafrica.
We're following suite, though we're not just migrating our web hosting to Gridhost, we're also going to migrate our connectivity services to Webafrica too. So Nexus will be absorbed into these two brands, but don't worry we're not ditching you, the Nexus team is also moving to the new providers.

We thought you might, so we've put a list together answering some of them
