It’s Freebie Friday – time to usher in the weekend by giving away free stuff. Sound good?
This week we are giving away a pair of these social-media-meets-real-world tees, which come with a guarantee to help you add friends in both the real and online world.
As usual, winners are randomly selected from various peeps that we’ve interacted with via twitter or facebook during the course of the year.
Right now, all around the globe, people are growing great big bushy Mo’s for the legendary month of Movember. Not only does this give men a legitimate excuse to look like Magnum PI, but also a chance to support some great charities as well.
RSAWEB has decided to join the Movember movement, by giving away 12 uniquely South African Movember tees, featuring SA’s 9 official mo’s:
To enter the competition, simply tell us what your favorite Home Grown Mo (as featured above) is by leaving a message on our Facebook Fan Wall (you must ‘like’ the fan page in order to leave a comment) or tweeting us using the #movember tag. You can also enter by tweeting us a pic of your very own Home Grown Mo or simply posting the pic to our Facebook Fan wall (if you ‘like’ our FB Fan Page, you should be able to post a pic with a comment on our wall).
On Friday the 26th of Movember, we’ll announce the winners from amongst the entrants to receive one of these fantastically manly Home Grown Movember tees. It’s that easy.

Everyone loves Fridays. Everyone loves free stuff. Combine these two elements, and you have an equation for widespread happiness (Friday+Free Stuff = Widespread Happiness). Thus, from this day forth, we declare that every Friday at RSAWEB shall be ‘Freebie Friday’ (or #freebiefriday if you’re Twitter savvy).
Every Friday we’ll be randomly selecting some Tweeps and Facebook Friends to be the recipients of various freebies… let’s call it random acts of freebieness. To keep things fresh, each week we’ll give away something unique – so you never know what might be coming your way! (more…)
We are exceedingly proud to announce the acquisition of a shiny new Data Centre, purchased from a leading financial services provider. The new facility finds it’s home in close proximity to our Cape Town head office in located in Gardens.
The acquisition comes as a result of a increased demand for Cloud services. It’s clear to us that South African businesses are waking up to the advantages of Cloud hosting as opposed to traditional hosting models like in-sourced Data Centres and dedicated servers. We also believe that the prolific emergence of innovative technology companies and supporting community-driven bodies such as Silicon Cape are also factors spurring the growth of Cloud services in the mother city.
Durbanville High School played host to the 3rd leg of the Pro Classic Series on Saturday, where Team RSAWEB set out to defend their Leader’s Jersey. Having to rely on a “skeleton team”, Team RSAWEB felt a little vulnerable in this race, however earned themselves a 2nd place, courtesy of Robert Quinn.
The 48.5km circular route saw cyclists exit Durbanville via Wellington Road, travel along the R312 past the Fisantekraal aerodrome and across the “fruit sellers” four-way intersection. They turned left down the second Voorpaardeberg Road, then down Paardeberg Road and right onto the R302. The cyclists made a right turn at the silos and right again onto Philadelphia Road, before hitting Adderley Road for the final stretch back to Durbanville. (more…)
Following recent aggressive peering moves by local ISPs (namely Mweb), peering has once again come to the fore as an issue the ISP industry needs to grapple with.
Firstly, here are the facts concerning RSAWEB customers:
1. We peer openly
We peer openly (settlement free) with all other ISPs, including Mweb. This means that Mweb customers accessing RSAWEB hosted content will not be affected at all by recent events. All traffic between Mweb and RSAWEB is routed locally, and openly.
2. We have our own network and Data Centres
This means we are not reliant on any one single ISP network to route traffic. We are free to route local traffic in a way that ensures the best customer experience.
The end result is a higher quality of service for customers driving traffic between us and Mweb.
