SA First: Cloud Servers with Windows
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.
