This Week’s Picks
Two hosting deals that are actually worth signing up for right now — not just discounted, but genuinely good value at the promo price.
1. SiteGround — our top pick
SiteGround is the gold standard for WordPress hosting, and right now their entry-level plans are heavily discounted for the first term. If you’re starting a new site or migrating from a slow host, the StartUp plan at $2.99/mo gets you free daily backups, a free CDN, and genuinely fast managed WordPress hosting with none of the usual upsell traps. If you’re running more than one site, GrowBig is the one to get — unlimited websites, on-demand backups, and a staging environment for not much more per month.
| Plan | Promo Price | Renews At | Term |
|---|---|---|---|
| StartUp | $2.99/mo (save 83%) | $17.99/mo | 12 months prepaid |
| GrowBig (Best Value) | $4.99/mo (save 83%) | $29.99/mo | 12 months prepaid |
| GoGeek | $7.99/mo (save 82%) | $44.99/mo | 12 months prepaid |
What’s included: free domain, free SSL, free CDN, free daily backups, free email, managed WordPress with auto-updates, and (StartUp and up) SiteGround’s own AI tools for image/text generation. GrowBig and GoGeek add unlimited websites, staging, and faster PHP; GoGeek adds Git integration and priority support.

2. Domains.co.za — best local option
If you want South African hosting with South African support (and no currency conversion surprises), Domains.co.za’s lineup is hard to beat for the price. Standard is the sweet spot for most small businesses — 10 websites, 50GB of NVMe storage, and 50 email accounts for R159/month, with a free domain and free daily backups thrown in. Everything runs on LiteSpeed, which is noticeably quicker than the older Apache setups a lot of local hosts still run.
| Plan | Price | Renews At | Term |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | R109/mo | Same (monthly billing) | Monthly |
| Standard (Most Popular) | R159/mo | Same (monthly billing) | Monthly |
| Advanced | R249/mo | Same (monthly billing) | Monthly |
| Deluxe | R369/mo | Same (monthly billing) | Monthly |
What’s included: free .co.za domain, free SSL, free website migration, daily backups, cPanel, LiteSpeed webserver, unlimited traffic on every tier. Domains.co.za’s own pricing page doesn’t show a separate renewal rate — these are flat monthly rates, not a one-year teaser price.

A note on the numbers
We only publish pricing pulled directly from each provider’s own current pricing page, not from coupon-aggregator sites. For reference: several coupon sites (e.g. dontpayfull.com) currently advertise “95% off” SiteGround deals — SiteGround’s own pricing page shows discounts of 82–83% on its plans, so treat any “95% off” claim you see elsewhere as outdated or exaggerated. Similarly, several aggregators advertise “50–90% off” Domains.co.za hosting, but Domains.co.za’s own page lists flat monthly prices with no stated discount percentage at all — so those aggregator percentages are not verifiable against the provider’s own listing.
