*📜 Plan description

10GB is the entry mailbox size in the Premium Mailbox range and is intended for everyday personal use or for a single mailbox in a small office that does not yet generate a huge volume of mail. It includes 10 GB of cloud mailbox storage for messages and attachments, enough to keep many years of regular correspondence and newsletters without having to constantly delete content. At R59 per month it offers an inexpensive way to move an existing Mweb address onto the newer Premium Mailbox platform, taking advantage of better spam filtering and the richer webmail interface while keeping the same email address. This option is well suited to users who mainly exchange text mail and occasional attachments under the 35 MB attachment limit, who want to be able to read and send mail from smartphones, tablets and desktop clients using POP3 or IMAP, and who prefer to start with a smaller quota and upgrade later if their storage requirements grow.

Premium Mailbox is offered as an add-on mail solution that upgrades the storage and features of the standard Mweb mailbox so messages are handled more securely and reliably every day. All mailbox sizes use the same underlying platform with encrypted storage on Mweb mail servers so that mail is protected in transit and at rest while still being easy to access from the web interface or your preferred mail client. Standard mail protocols such as SMTP for sending and POP3 or IMAP for receiving are supported, which means the service works with common desktop and mobile clients as well as the built in webmail interface. Incoming messages are scanned and filtered for spam, phishing attempts, whaling campaigns, viruses, ransomware and other forms of malware, and messages that appear suspicious can be quarantined for review instead of being silently discarded. Attachments and message sizes are managed so that typical business documents and rich media can be delivered while oversized or risky file types can be blocked according to defined rules, helping to keep both inboxes and networks clean. The webmail client is described as fully featured and easy to navigate, with support for all popular browsers and a clean layout that mirrors what users expect from modern cloud email. Built in productivity tools such as a calendar, task list and briefcase style cloud storage allow users to schedule meetings, set reminders, share documents and track action items directly from the same mailbox environment, instead of juggling multiple separate services. Mailbox storage can be upgraded or downgraded between the available 10 GB, 25 GB and 50 GB tiers without changing the actual email address, so customers can start small and move to a larger quota as their usage grows with no data migration. Premium Mailbox is positioned as a practical choice for home users and small businesses that want professional, secure mail with rich collaboration features but prefer a familiar local brand and billing in rand rather than an international provider.

📄 Editorial Review

MWEB is one of South Africa’s oldest internet service providers, operating since 1997 and today positioned as a mass-market ISP that also offers a compact but complete web hosting portfolio. The brand focuses primarily on connectivity (fibre, LTE, wireless, voice), yet its hosting line is clearly aimed at individuals, freelancers and small businesses that want to register a domain, host a website and run email on the same account as their internet access. They operate as Mweb, a division of Internet Solutions Digital Proprietary Limited, with headquarters and core infrastructure based in Parow, Cape Town.

From a hosting perspective, the range is deliberately simple. Under the Web Hosting banner, MWEB sells shared hosting on Linux using cPanel, split into Capped Hosting and Uncapped Hosting families. They promise: packages designed for personal or business sites, with email included, a free SSL certificate, and on selected plans a free .co.za domain for the first year. Storage and traffic limits differ between capped tiers, while uncapped options focus more on removing traffic limits but still keep customers on multi-tenant shared servers. These plans are aimed at "typical" websites rather than heavy applications, with terms that explicitly discourage using shared hosting for backup storage or unusually resource-intensive workloads.

Domains are an important part of the offer. MWEB acts as registrar for a focused list of South African and generic TLDs, with pricing clearly published in South African rand per year. Popular choices include .co.za, .capetown, .joburg, .durban, .com, .org, .net, .africa, .biz, .online and .africa.com, with both registration and renewal fees listed per TLD. Domain names can be registered or transferred, and customers are reminded that a hosting plan is required to actually publish a website on that domain.

Beyond basic hosting and domains, MWEB offers a few notable value-adds. A Website SelfBuild / SitePad website builder is integrated into certain hosting products, allowing non-technical users to assemble sites from templates, with licensing explicitly tied to sites hosted on MWEB’s capped hosting platform. A Web Application Service in cPanel supports one-click deployment of common web apps. Email is covered via standard domain mailboxes attached to hosting plans and a separate Premium Mailbox product for users who need larger mailboxes or enhanced features. On top of that, MWEB resells several Internet Security and VPN products (such as Norton 360, NordVPN and others) with their own 30-day trial conditions, providing a bundle of security tools that can sit alongside hosting and connectivity in the same account.

Overall, this is not a specialist cloud or enterprise host but a general-purpose ISP offering shared web hosting, domains and email as part of a broader consumer internet portfolio. For customers who already use MWEB for fibre or LTE and want a basic cPanel site and domain billed on the same account, the proposition is convenient and familiar. Those who need VPS, dedicated servers or complex hosting architectures will need to look elsewhere, as MWEB has clearly chosen to stay in the shared hosting and email space rather than expand into higher-end infrastructure.
