*📜 Plan description
Small combines the lowest-priced Small shared hosting option with the related Small cPanel and Small WordPress variants. The lowest price is the Linux Small Web Hosting plan at R99/month, with host 1 website, 10GB SSD storage, 100 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 Small plan because it has the lowest monthly price among the Small shared hosting offers.
Other Small variants are available at higher prices. Small cPanel Web Hosting costs R129/month and includes cPanel control panel, host 10 websites, 10GB SSD storage, 100 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. Small WordPress Hosting costs R129/month and includes Plesk hosting control panel, LiteSpeed, host 1 website, 4GB SSD storage, 75 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 Small plan family is suitable for a business site, personal website, blog, brochure site, landing page, starter WordPress site, or small ecommerce-capable WordPress project. 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.

😠 For this review, I would like to express my discontent with 1-grid (formally Gridhost) for their lack of customer service and urgency under conditions which they created.
On requesting an error 500 resolve on my website, they successfully deleted my entire WP Plugins folder.
Lodged an urgent inquiry and also called in to support but the manager was on lunch and my site is not running (not usable) because the entire directory of plugins was removed and I don't have a recent backup
