📄 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.
