SA First: Cloud Servers with Windows

Written by | 0 comments | View Post

We’re pleased to announce that we’re once again raising the bar in South Africa Cloud technology with the launch and immediate availability of our Cloud Servers now with Microsoft Windows!

Last year we pioneered South Africa’s first true Cloud hosting platform, allowing users to deploy and provision fully operational Linux servers in seconds. Our customers have deployed more than 1,250 Linux Servers to date.

We value all the feedback we receive from our loyal customers, and we have seen an unprecedented demand for our Linux Cloud Servers, but Microsoft Windows still remains the most requested features. So, after several months of internal trial and testing phases, we are very excited to finally release Microsoft Windows on the platform.

The technology behind our Cloud Servers allows users to buy Linux or Microsoft Windows servers from the web with full control over the server resources and operating system. CPU, RAM and SAN Storage can be added to the servers on the fly as usage or demand requirements change. Users are also not bound to lengthy contracts with us, and servers are purchased on a month to month basis.

Our Cloud Servers with Microsoft Windows are available in the following configurations or resources – all of which include FREE setup:

RAM Cores SAN Storage Traffic Monthly Price *
Server 512 512MB 1 vCPU 10GB 2GB R 395
Server 1G 1GB 1 vCPU 20GB 5GB R 595
Server 2G 2GB 2 vCPU 50GB 10GB R 995
Server 4G 4GB 4 vCPU 80GB 20GB R 1,495
Server 8G 8GB 8 vCPU 80GB 50GB R 2,795

*Pricing excludes monthly Windows licensing fees, which are as follows:

  • Windows Server Std 2008: R141 p/month
  • Windows Web Server 2008: R171 p/month

Our Cloud Servers give you – the user – complete control with full administrator access to your server, allowing you to select you choice of operating system, applications and configuration.

We’ve got a special little something for those of you who are curious to experiment with Cloud Servers – a free trial! Simply click here and sign up.

Under the sea…. where the fiber-optic cables lie

Written by | 0 comments | View Post

You know the Internet isn’t only on your screen. It’s also not controlled from Google’s HQ; nor is it controlled by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). So the question is: Where is the Internet?

The answer: Down below! We’re diving into the depths of the ocean, where all the fiber-optic cables live… where the Internet is.

Back in the 1850s the first transatlantic telegraph cable was laid in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean – although not considered particularly successful -it was destroyed after only one month of operation when someone decided to bolster the voltage in order to achieve faster operation… epic fail – it did however provide practical results which paved the way for future development.

The purpose of the first submarine communications cables was to carry telegraphy traffic, followed by telephony traffic, and eventually data communications traffic. Fiber-optic cables – which are cables that comprise of multiple pairs of fibers, and each pair has one fiber in each direction – were developed in the 1980s with the first transatlantic telephone cable, TAT-8, which went into operation in 1988.

Greene brings home the gold for Team RSAWEB at Msunduzi

Written by | 0 comments | View Post

This weekend saw the inaugural Msunduzi Road Challenge – part of the UCI World Cycling Tour (UWCT) – held in Pietermaritzburg. This mass-participation road event serves a dual purpose by offering enthusiasts an all-new road cycling challenge, and offers seasoned cyclists the opportunity to qualify for the once-off UWCT Final in 2012 (previously known as the UCI Masters Road World Championship).

The weekend’s races started off with great success as Team RSAWEB took gold (Neville Cragg) and silver (Rob Quinn) in the Individual Time Trail, which took place on Saturday. The celebrations continued when Edward Greene made a crucial break in the closing stages of the 126km Msunduzi Road Challenge, and secured the victory.

Greene was part of an eleven rider breakaway that split the front peleton shortly after the halfway point at Dalton, and made his move as the contenders reached the outer city limits and reached the finish at Alexandra Park alone after a gutsy solo break. His break splintered the front bunch as individual riders tried to catch him, but to no avail.

The team almost secured a second podium spot, but missed it by a mere 6 second resulting in Jos Le Roux in 4th position – not a bad result considering Le Roux raced in the Durbanville High School PCS the day before!

Team RSAWEB continued their Pro Classic Series campaign by representing at the Durbanville High School Race, which took place this past Saturday. Carl Pasio secured yet another podium position for Team RSAWEB in second place, behind Theuns van der Bank.

Time for our Business users to benefit from some price cuts

Written by | 0 comments | View Post

We’re at it again… first, we introduced SA’s lowest ADSL line rental prices; then we slashed the prices of our 30GB and 50GB Super DSL, and now we’ve lowered the prices of ADSL lines on our business-grade ADSL packages – comfortably making the ADSL line rental prices on both our consumer and business ADSL products the cheapest in South Africa.

We received an overwhelmingly positive response when we announced our ADSL line price-cuts – an indication that the broadband war is still raging. Well, we’re taking it to the next level – we’re taking the price cuts to the businesses.

In addition to lowering the line rental costs, we’ve also adjusted our data prices to be more competitive, and we’ve implemented extra features. Our Business DSL products offer a true business-grade service, with lower contention ratios, higher redundancy, network prioritization for business uses and business features like static IPs and soft-capping.

Here’s how our new pricing compares to the competition:

RSAWEB Telkom* Annual Savings Savings %
384kb/s R129 R152 R276 15%
1Mb/s R211 R289 R1 056 30%
10Mb/s R322 R413 R1 092 22%

*Telkom prices as of 17/10/2011 & include VAT.

We’ve noticed that the majority of the customers who have moved across to us since we launched our cheaper line rentals, are frustrated Telkom users who are looking for a better deal; and we fear that a large portion of the market is unaware that they can have their ADSL line hosted with an ISP other than Telkom… like us, for example. Transferring your ADSL line to us is quick, easy and involves no additional costs, simply speak to one of our Helpdesk Consultants and they’ll take care of the rest.
