Short answer
At Hostnali, web hosting starts at R 327 a year for the Starter plan. Plans with more websites and a free domain cost more. Budget for a domain too (a .co.za is R 150 a year), unless your plan includes one free.
What you pay for
| Plan | Websites | Free domain | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 | No | One small website or blog |
| Standard | 5 | Yes | A business site plus a blog or shop |
| Executive / Platinum | Unlimited | Yes | Agencies and several busy websites |
Every plan includes free SSL, unlimited email accounts, LiteSpeed caching, daily backups and 24/7 support. See live prices on the web hosting page; they update automatically from our billing system.
Other costs to plan for
- Domain: R 150 a year for a .co.za, free for the first year with every plan except Starter.
- Website design: free if you build it yourself with WordPress; or see our web design packages.
- Extras: paid SSL certificates or more resources are only needed for special cases.
Why prices differ between hosts
Cheaper isn’t always cheaper. Check the renewal price, not just the first year; whether backups and SSL are included or extra; and whether the server uses fast NVMe storage. A slow, unreliable website costs you customers.
How to choose
- One website and a tight budget: cheap web hosting (Starter).
- A business website with email: Standard, which includes the domain.
- Several websites or clients: Executive or Platinum, or reseller hosting.
