MWeb 25GB Hosting, ZAR 159.00/mo. on Linux Shared

The 25GB Capped Hosting plan builds on the mid range offer with more storage, more email capacity and increased limits for sites and databases, targeting small businesses that run several properties or heavier content driven sites.
It comes with 25GB of disk space and unlimited monthly traffic, which is enough for a substantial brochure site, a medium sized ecommerce store with product imagery, download sections and marketing landing pages.
The plan includes ten 2GB email mailboxes, providing room for individual staff mailboxes or separate role based addresses such as sales, accounts and support without immediately needing a dedicated mail solution.
A free .co.za domain registration is included for the first year, and additional domains can be pointed at the hosting space via DNS if you want multiple addresses to resolve to the same site.
Up to five separate websites can be hosted on this plan, supported by three FTP accounts and twenty MySQL databases, which is useful for agencies or resellers who manage several small client sites under a single account.
Subdomain capacity increases to twenty, enabling you to segment content by region, language or function, while still managing everything from the same control panel and SSL environment.
Backups and restores are automated rather than purely manual, adding scheduled protection on top of the ability to create ad hoc backups before major updates or deployments.
Security features include free SSL across hosted domains, malware scanning of site content and DNS zone management so that you can direct mail, web and third party services to the appropriate records.
The Website Self Builder is available on this tier, allowing simple drag and drop site creation on a subset of the hosted domains for users who prefer a visual editing experience over manual CMS installation.
This plan is suitable for small agencies, consultants or multi brand businesses that need to run multiple modest sized sites under one account, with sufficient databases, email capacity and automation tools to keep administration manageable.

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.
