Pricing shown both as standard monthly billing and as the per-month rate when paying annually in advance, since these differ significantly across providers and an apples-to-apples comparison needs both. Figures current as of June 2026, based on each provider's own published pricing for their entry-level shared hosting plan. Hostinger and GoDaddy USD figures are converted to ZAR at time of writing and will move with exchange rates and regional promotions. Always confirm current pricing on each provider's own website before purchasing. Spot something outdated? Let us know.

Your cPanel Hosting Questions Answered
Have questions? We've got answers.
- What is Shared Web hosting?
In Shared Web Hosting, multiple clients are hosted on a single server i.e. the clients share the server's resources. This helps reduce the cost, since the cost of the server and its resources are spread over all the clients/packages hosted on the server. Shared Hosting is perfect for personal websites, small and mid-sized businesses that do not require all the resources of a server.
- Can I host multiple Web sites within one Shared Hosting plan?
Yes! Our Starter, Premium, and Business web hosting plans allow you to host more than one Website, by adding secondary domains through your hosting control panel i.e. cPanel.
- Is there a Money Back Guarantee?
Yes, we offer a 100% Risk-Free, 30-day Money Back Guarantee.
- Is Email hosting included in my package?
Yes, all our Hosting packages come with Email Hosting.
- Can I upgrade to a higher plan?
Yes, you can easily upgrade to one of our higher plans at any time.
- Is my data safe? Do you take backups?
Yes, your data is 100% secure and backed up daily.
- Do you include protection from viruses?
Yes, all our servers are protected by ClamAV.
- Can I divide my Shared Hosting package and resell it?
While a Shared Hosting package cannot be used for this purpose, you can easily resell custom packages with our Reseller Hosting. To view our Reseller Hosting plans, click here.
- Do you offer SSH access?
Yes, we provide SSH access to your domain. Because this is a shared environment, you will not get root access. However, you will be able to achieve most of your requirements by having rights to access only the files relevant to your domain.
