*📜 Plan description

Large combines the lowest-priced Large shared hosting option with the related Large cPanel and Large WordPress variants. The lowest price is the Linux Large Web Hosting plan at R269/month, with host unlimited websites, 50GB SSD storage, unlimited mail accounts, Plesk control panel, unlimited website traffic, 1-click WordPress installation, free email accounts, and included .co.za domain registration. This is the base value entry for the combined Large plan because it has the lowest monthly price among the Large shared hosting offers.

Other Large variants are available at higher prices. Large cPanel Web Hosting costs R299/month and includes cPanel control panel, host unlimited websites, 50GB SSD storage, unlimited email accounts, included .co.za domain registration, cPanel licensing, 1-click WordPress installation, and Softaculous applications such as Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Odoo, phpBB, myBB, SMF, MediaWiki, DokuWiki, and PmWiki. Large WordPress Hosting costs R349/month and includes Plesk hosting control panel, LiteSpeed, host unlimited websites, 50GB SSD storage, unlimited email accounts, included .co.za domain registration, WordPress onboarding, WordPress templates and plugins, and support for blogs, business websites, portfolios, and ecommerce sites using WordPress plugins.

The combined Large plan family is suitable for larger shared hosting requirements, multi-site portfolios, agencies, higher-capacity WordPress sites, business websites, blogs, landing pages, brochure sites, and ecommerce-capable WordPress projects. Depending on the selected variant, administration is handled through Plesk or cPanel, and the hosting environment provides access to website files, databases, email accounts, SSL certificates, DNS tools, CMS installation, and common hosting management features.

Shared hosting is intended for individuals and small to medium businesses that want a cost-effective website platform without managing server hardware. Website files, images, databases, mail services, domains, and control panel tools are kept together in one hosted environment. WordPress can be installed quickly, traffic is not metered on the shared hosting plans, and the Plesk or cPanel dashboard gives access to practical website, email, DNS, SSL, and database administration.

A free .co.za domain registration is included with eligible shared hosting plans for the first year. 1-grid runs hosting on South African infrastructure with local support, SSD-powered platforms where stated, account management through the Customer Zone and mobile app, local data centres, a 10 Gigabit fibre-optic backbone for web hosting traffic, enterprise-grade security controls, PCI DSS and ISO-compliant facilities for core infrastructure, and a 99.99% uptime foundation. Support can assist with setup, migration guidance, DNS and domain administration, email, SSL, and general troubleshooting through the Help Centre, tickets, live chat, email, and phone.

📄 Editorial Review

1-grid is a South African web hosting provider based in Cape Town, serving mainly SMEs, entrepreneurs, agencies, resellers, and local businesses that want hosting, domains, email, security, and online-business tools under one account. The company operates as 1 grid (Pty) Ltd., with a longer hosting background connected to the former Gridhost and Webafrica history. Gridhost became 1-grid in 2018, after separating from Webafrica, while the hosting heritage goes back more than 20 years.

Their portfolio is wide and practical: domain registration, Linux shared hosting, WordPress hosting, Windows hosting, Linux VPS, Windows VPS, managed VPS, dedicated servers, reseller hosting, professional email, website builder, SSL certificates, website backups, server backups, and company registration. This makes 1-grid suitable not only for basic hosting users, but also for South African businesses that need a complete digital setup: company registration, domain, email, website, hosting, backups, and security.

Shared hosting is built around Plesk, SSD storage, email accounts, unlimited traffic, and included .co.za domain registration on eligible plans. WordPress hosting adds LiteSpeed performance and WordPress-focused onboarding, while Windows hosting is designed for .NET, ASP.NET, Microsoft SQL Server-related use cases, and Plesk Obsidian management. VPS and dedicated server options provide a natural upgrade path for heavier workloads, agencies, e-commerce projects, SaaS applications, custom software, and customers needing more isolation than normal shared hosting.

Their reseller hosting line is also well developed. Linux reseller hosting uses Plesk, while Windows reseller hosting uses Plesk Obsidian, with unlimited domains, traffic, email accounts, databases, and local server infrastructure. This is a useful setup for designers, developers, small agencies, and local IT consultants who want to resell hosting without building their own infrastructure.

The website is modern, responsive, and easy to navigate. It does not look like an old narrow-layout hosting site. The main language is English, which fits the South African business audience. Their Website Builder also supports localization in 25+ languages, making it useful for multilingual small-business websites. Product pricing is mainly shown in South African Rand (ZAR), with billing/account currency support also visible for USD and NAD.

1-grid has a stronger local profile than many generic international budget hosts. Their brand is built around South African infrastructure, local support, local payments, local domain services, and a product range adapted for SMEs. Customer scale is also significant, with more than 32,000 clients referenced in current company registration material and tens of thousands of hosted websites across their network.
