Having a website or email domain for your brand is a critical aspect of business in today’s age, and South African companies have a range of hosting providers from which to choose.
Several providers in South Africa offer entry-level website packages for as little as R19 per month and email-only hosting plans from R30 per month.
South African businesses used to be able to access entry-level hosting services for under R10 per month, but most companies have done away with those very cheap entry-level services.
Important considerations to make when choosing a hosting provider include the cost of the service and features such as website builders, databases, email addresses, and storage space.
MyBroadband compared entry-level website and email hosting packages available in South Africa based on these factors.
We selected the cheapest options from providers like Afrihost, Absolute Hosting, Domains, Mweb, Xneelo, and 1-grid.
Basic website hosting
Absolute Hosting offers the most affordable entry-level hosting package in South Africa at R19 per month.
This includes one MySQL database, a free domain, and a website builder.
Its nearest competitor is Afrihost’s Linux Silver package for R59 per month, which provides 1GB of storage, 50 email accounts, one MySQL database, a domain, and a website builder.
Xneelo’s Basic package is priced at R89 per month. Subscribers will get 5GB of storage, 100 email accounts, five MySQL databases, and five domains.
However, they must pay an additional R39 monthly for access to a website builder.
Priced at R99 per month, 1-grid’s small and Mweb’s 10GB packages offer 10GB of storage and one free domain. However, 1-grid offers 100 email accounts, while Mweb only supports 5.
On the other hand, Mweb’s 10GB package provides five MySQL databases, compared to one on 1-grid’s plan, and a free website builder, while 1-grid Small customers must pay R119 a month extra to use one.
Domains.co.za’ Sitebuilder Lite is the most expensive…
