What is PayFast and Why Do We Use It?

PayFast is a leading South African online payment gateway that allows businesses and customers to send and receive payments safely and easily.

At MyFreeHostSA, we use PayFast because it offers:

  • Security & Trust – Payments are processed with strict security measures, including PCI DSS Level 1 compliance and advanced fraud protection.
  • Multiple Payment Options – Customers can pay using credit cards, debit cards, Instant EFT, SnapScan, Zapper, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and more.
  • Instant Payment Confirmation – Transactions are verified in real-time, ensuring fast service activation (e.g., domain registration, hosting setup).
  • Local Convenience – PayFast is built for South Africa, supporting local banks and payment methods.

Why we use PayFast:
Using PayFast ensures that your payments are processed safely and instantly, without the risks of manual deposits or delays. This means your services (such as domain registrations, renewals, or hosting) can be provisioned as quickly as possible once payment is complete.
