Theirs

Fig DMeasured Oct 11, 2026 on Ethio Telecom in Addis Ababa: median of 30 requests and 7 full browser loads per site. “Theirs” is Gojo Host’s own WordPress website, which already uses a page cache, so a typical site on their shared plan is likely slower.

	Ours	Local shared hosting

Busy days	Scales automatically	Limited to 2 shared CPU cores

Protection

Not just cheaper and faster. Your inbox and your clients’ documents are protected, at no extra cost.

Layer	What it does for you
Bot protection	Cloudflare Turnstile blocks spam robots, without puzzles for real clients.
Real file checks	Each document is checked by its contents, not just its name. Disguised files are rejected.
Size limits	Enforced in the browser and again on the server.
No stored documents	Files go straight to your inbox. The website keeps no copy, so there is nothing to leak.
Trusted email	Passes SPF, DKIM and DMARC checks, so inquiries land in your inbox, not spam.
Secure connection	Encrypted (HTTPS) everywhere, with modern browser protections.

Room to grow

The free setup handles far more than a busy firm receives.

A busy day, against the free daily allowance

0100,000 / day

Fig EAbout 100 contact-page visits and 10 inquiries use 0.1% of the allowance: room to grow about 900 times. Page visits are unlimited, and inquiry emails to your inbox have no cap.

The work behind it

The standard way to receive uploads is too heavy for free hosting. We measured it, re-engineered it and proved it.

Cloudflare Email Service

Trusted email

SPF, DKIM and DMARC

Industry-standard checks that prove inquiries really come from your domain, so they reach your inbox.

Code

TypeScript

A stricter version of JavaScript that catches mistakes before they reach your clients.

Testing

30 automated tests

Run on every change to confirm uploads, limits and security rules still work.

Cost and next steps

A one-time ETB 20,000, then nothing to run. Over three years, the same website from a local agency on shared hosting costs at least ETB 91,283.

Fig FThe agency price is the low end of the ETB 30,000–80,000 market range, before any upload form or security work, so the real gap is likely wider.

Safety net: if very large uploads ever need more server capacity, Cloudflare’s USD 5/month plan (ETB 975) covers it, with no rebuild.
