MWEB launches Uncapped Shared Hosting at R19pm

18 Mar

Mweb has just launched their Uncapped Shared Hosting at R19pm, free to MWEB ADSL customers.

What is shared hosting? Shared hosting means that you are sharing a Server with other people, which is not the case with a Dedicated Server. I am paying $9.95 monthly for shared hosting at Hostgator. I was hosting at Afrihost, but because my hosting space and traffic was limited i moved to hostgator. I am planning on moving to MWEB as their price is only 20% of what i am currently paying and I will be saving R80 per month. There is a 50MB limit on the SQL database space, but for a small fee this can be upgraded. I believe MWEB’s offer will see allot of South Africans hosting with international hosting companies, because of the lack of affordable national options for uncapped hosting , move to MWEB.

Web Hosting South Africa – Afrihost Cuts ADSL Price and gives 50% off signups

Afrihost Cuts ADSL Price and gives 50% off signups

Monday, 27 September, 2010 at 15:50 – Press Releases

Internet service provider (ISP) Afrihost expects that the free ADSL bandwidth it has set aside for existing subscribers could only last until the end of the Heritage Day long weekend.

As part of the celebration of its first decade in business, the ISP is offering customers three gigabytes of ADSL bandwidth for every one gigabyte of top-up bandwidth they buy. This special promotion is for Afrihost users with capped broadband accounts.

In addition, many new users signing up with Afrihost will receive 50% off their monthly billing until the end of the year if they signup before the end of September.

Afrihost is currently in the process of rebranding the company and has also been offering its customers opportunities to win a range of prizes such as iPhones, iPads and 10 gigabyte prepaid bandwidth packages over the past two weeks.

Said Gian Visser, CEO of Afrihost: “One of the key goals of our re-launch is to thank existing ADSL customers for their support of the years. What better way to do that than be offering them some of the cheapest good quality bandwidth in town?”

Visser said that R29 for 3GB – or just under R10 per GB – is one of the biggest broadband bargains in the South African market. Afrihost has set aside a significant number of GBs for the promotion and had hoped that this bandwidth would last until the end of September.

However, indications are that the bandwidth will run out before then because the response to the campaign has been so overwhelming, concluded Visser.
