Translating "solutions" in Afrikaans is always tricky. Here I opted for "produkte" (products) but I've also seen "oplossings" used (although I'm not fond of it). A web host is a gasheer and the verb hosting can be translated as huisvesting. Your text is an advertising type of text -- I would play around with it more freely and not worry about translating it word for word.

I just realised that "web" is not specified in the source text, although I do think it is implied. Either way, I think you should not write "huisvesting" on its own, or it will sound like a real estate company :-). Add something geeky in front of it (like "web").

Note from asker:
| Dankie Samuel, dit het met die web en sagteware te doen. Dit pas goed in die vertaling, beter as wat ek gehad het! Nou moet ek nog net die regte Afr. vir "tab" kry, oortjie klink so snaaks.... |
