1-Grid

Introduction

1-Grid is a South African web hosting and domains company built around getting small businesses online quickly and affordably. It bundles hosting with domain registration and simple site tools, so a first-time owner can go from nothing to a live website in one place.

Who it suits

1-Grid fits a small business or solo founder who wants an easy, local, all-in-one start online without wrestling with technical setup. Local hosting keeps your site fast for South African visitors.

What you get

  • Shared hosting with free domain registration included on the plans.
  • Unlimited traffic and built-in malware scanning.
  • Easy templates and self-management tools for non-technical owners.
  • Room to grow into larger and dedicated plans as your needs increase.

Pricing

Shared hosting starts from around R59 to R99 a month depending on the tier, with dedicated options much higher for businesses that need them. Check the current plans on their site, as entry pricing and bundled extras change with promotions.

Our take

1-Grid is a convenient local option for getting online fast, with the nice touch of a free domain on its plans. For a straightforward first website it is a fair choice. If speed, support and bundled business email are your priority, compare it with Host Africa before deciding.
