Hosting Only

We give you CPanel access and you do the rest. Packages in one GB increments at R45 per initial GB (R22 per additional GB). A Setup Fee of R99 is payable. This pricing applies to .co.za domains only. Different pricing applies to domains other than .co.za.

E-Mail Accounts Only

Unfortunately, you will need a domain for your own e-mail account.

The costs are as follow:

1. Domain (.co.za – other domains available at different pricing) at R10 per month, plus
2. R35 per GB used. You can save money by forwarding to a Gmail account but you will still need space to send email as your email accounts.
3. Thus the minimum cost will come to R45 per month for a .co.za. domain email account/s.
4. A Setup Fee of R99 is payable.
5. Monthly payments are synced to the 1st of each month.

General terms:

1. Unlimited e-mail accounts – either forwarding or POP/IMAP OR forwarding to Gmail accounts – you pay per GB used.
2. The default size we set email accounts up is 250MB. We will increase sizes to 500MB, 1GB, 2GB, 3GB, etc on request.
3. No website services included – your domain will simply be forwarded to the main website of Passionate about Websites or one of our affiliate websites, as we feel, could be appropriate. To forward to a site not affiliated with Passionate about Websites an additional fee of R50 per month will become payable. To not forward the domain and have an “Under Construction” page set up with details of your business (or no details if you prefer) an additional fee of R100 per month will become available.
4. No spamming allowed: Your account will be immediately terminated if any complaints are received.
5. The only method of payment we accept is via PayFast. You will checkout online. The anniversary of the automatic payments will be on the 1st day of each month for monthly payments and on the 1st of January for annual payments. Initial payments will be pro-rated with setup fees.
6. A maximum of five accounts will be configured per day – either SMTP/IMAP or forwarding.
7. If you wish we could upgrade your account to include website services.
