MWeb 1GB Hosting, ZAR 29.00/mo. on Linux Shared

The 1GB Capped Hosting plan is an entry level Linux shared hosting package designed for very small brochure sites, one page landing pages or simple personal projects that do not need much storage.
It provides 1GB of web space and unmetered monthly traffic, which is enough for a compact site made up of a few HTML or CMS pages, images and downloads as long as resource usage stays within normal shared hosting limits.
The package includes one 2GB email mailbox so that a single professional address can be created on the domain, suitable for a freelancer or sole trader who only needs one inbox.
No free .co.za domain registration is bundled with this plan, which keeps the monthly fee low, but the hosting is ready to work with any domain that you register or transfer separately.
Only one website can be hosted on the account, backed by one MySQL database and one FTP login, which simplifies management and focuses the resources of the plan on a single site.
Up to five subdomains are supported, allowing you to create addresses such as blog.example.co.za or test.example.co.za for development or separate sections while still counting as the same primary site.
Traffic is described as unlimited, so there is no fixed data cap, and DNS zone management plus redirect and pointing tools make it possible to adjust A, CNAME and MX records directly in cPanel.
Backups and restores are handled manually from the control panel, giving you the ability to create your own backup archives before major changes and roll back if needed, without an automatic schedule.
Free malware scanning is included, which periodically checks the files in the hosting account for common web malware signatures in order to reduce the risk of compromised scripts affecting visitors.
The Website Self Builder is not included on this plan, so sites are created either by uploading files via FTP, installing a CMS through cPanel tools, or working with a designer who delivers the site files ready for publishing.

Across the Capped Hosting range this provider offers shared Linux hosting on servers located in South Africa, using the familiar cPanel control panel and unlimited traffic on every plan so visitor numbers are not limited by a fixed bandwidth quota.
All accounts include email hosting with 2GB mailboxes, free SSL certificates for HTTPS, built in malware scanning, DNS zone management and tools for redirects and pointing domains, giving small businesses the essentials they need to run a secure website and professional email from one place.
Selected packages include a free .co.za domain for the first year, which makes it easy to register a local domain and have it configured automatically for the hosting space without extra setup fees.
The service is billed monthly in South African Rand with prices quoted inclusive of the standard 15 percent VAT, and payments can be handled through card based billing on the customer portal so subscriptions renew automatically.
Customers can contact support via telephone, email, online help centre and live chat, with technical teams available around the clock to help with DNS records, mail settings, SSL issues and other common hosting administration questions.
The platform is aimed at personal sites, blogs and small business websites that want reliable South African based hosting close to their local audience, and the plans are structured so that it is easy to upgrade disk space, email capacity or feature sets as a website grows.
Frequently asked questions explain that a hosting product is simply the online space where the files, images, video, text and forms that make up a website are stored, that larger or more complex sites need more disk space, that customers will also need a domain name for visitors to reach the site, and that it is possible to upgrade or downgrade the hosting package later if requirements change.
