Website Rental is a managed website service. Instead of paying a large one-off build cost and then managing hosting, updates and maintenance yourself, you commit to an ongoing monthly arrangement that combines the website with the technical work of keeping it running.
It is not a lease of a template you never own. It is a way to get a professionally built, customer-focused website without taking on the full technical responsibility yourself — and readier cash flow with a smaller upfront payment.

Cost comparison
Website Rental vs Buying: A Cost Comparison
Website Rental (Managed)
Upfront: Lowest (typically R0 – R2,000 setup)
Monthly: From R1,250/month (SA) or $99/month (US)
Includes: Website build, hosting, technical management and agreed support
Best for: Businesses wanting a smaller upfront commitment and one managed route
Website Ownership (Project)
Upfront: From R18,000 (SA) or $1,500 (US)
Monthly: Hosting, domain and support costs on top of the build
Includes: The build and then separate hosting, maintenance and support you manage
Best for: Businesses that want full control and are ready to take responsibility after launch
The right choice is not about which is cheaper in isolation. It is about which arrangement fits how you want to pay, manage and improve the website over time. Compare the full responsibility, not only the build figure.

Who it suits
Who Is Website Rental Best For?
Website Rental suits service businesses that:
Want a professional website without a large one-off build payment.
Do not have an internal website team and do not want to manage hosting and updates alone.
Prefer one managed route for the website and ongoing support.
Want predictable monthly costs over a large upfront bill.
It is less suited to businesses that want full control of the codebase and hosting, or that have a strong internal technical team. We will be honest about which route fits.

Growth: Additional pages, services or content — quote provided after review.
Extended: Ecommerce or booking integrations — quote provided after review.
Request a plan and we will review the scope before recommending an option.
No. Submitting the brief only gives us the information needed to review your request.
Is Website Rental available in every country?
Availability and terms can differ by location. We currently invite requests from South Africa and the United States and confirm the suitable option after review.
What happens if rental is not the right fit?
We will explain that and, where appropriate, recommend a project-based route instead.
Who owns the website under a rental plan?
Ownership terms differ by plan and are confirmed in writing before you decide. This is one of the most important questions to clarify, and we are transparent about it from the start.
What happens if I want to leave Website Rental?
The agreement states what happens if the service ends, including handover and ownership arrangements. We recommend reviewing this carefully before committing.
