*📜 Plan description
Small Windows Web Hosting is a Windows Server shared hosting plan for .NET-based websites, web apps, APIs, business systems, and services. It includes Host 1 website, 5GB SSD storage, 100 email accounts, and included .co.za domain registration. The plan includes Windows Server and Plesk Obsidian licensing, so there are no extra license fees for the Windows hosting environment. Plesk Obsidian manages domains, DNS, website files, databases, email accounts, SSL certificates, CMS installations, resource monitoring, firewall tools, and ModSecurity. The plan supports .NET use cases such as company websites, intranets, CRMs, CMSs, interactive applications, mobile application backends, APIs, shipping integrations, and payment-processing logic.
Windows hosting is intended for projects that need Windows Server, ASP.NET, .NET Framework or related Microsoft-compatible technologies. It includes Plesk Obsidian, SSD storage, email accounts, unlimited website traffic, expert support, and the same upgrade path as other shared hosting options. WordPress can still be installed through Plesk where supported, but the main strength is Windows and .NET compatibility. 1-grid runs hosting on South African infrastructure with local support, SSD-powered platforms where stated, and account management through the Customer Zone and mobile app. Services can be upgraded as needs grow, and the environment is built around practical site management, domain registration, email, SSL, backups, and support in one place. The hosting platform uses 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.

😠 t seems like they take the threat of beign sued for losses and damages lightly, wonder if their board will feel the same way, esoecially with the increasing number of compaints.
They destroyed my emails, lost e,ails and lost vital emails that were evidence, stopped my emails form working and then left me without a working bsuiness email either and then for days did not bother seeing any urgency in addressing this
fortunately I have witnesses to the calls and when they were remotely working on my mails and I have a witness who heard a supervisor by the name of Jo promise to address the sheer mess. that was Monday morning , her latest when I sent messages saying she must call me NB was that she kicked me back down the ladder to the same person (Peter) who caused the problem in the first place ,

😠 A very unethical company that debits your account with fraudulent accounts. Somebody fraudulently opened an account with my banking details and I have been debited for 2 hostings for 3 years, thinking it was my website. 1-Grid took 2 months and refusing to refund me and they keep debiting my account. Most useless and criminal bunch I've come across. They hide behind a call center and is half of the time closed. STAY CLEAR!!
