Why would Rack Hosting be perfect for you?
Maximum Performance, total control!
Long-term IT Investments
You have already made significant investments in physical hardware and infrastructure, you need to use rack hosting to maximize the return on those investments. Transitioning to the cloud may not always be economically viable, especially if the existing infrastructure is still performing well.
Data Sovereignty and regulation
You are subject to data sovereignty laws that require data to be stored and processed within specific geographic locations. Rack hosting allows you to choose data center locations that comply with local regulations, ensuring legal and regulatory compliance.
Hybrid Cloud Strategies
This is an integral part of a hybrid cloud strategy, you get to combine on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud resources to optimize performance, cost, and flexibility. By keeping certain critical workloads in a dedicated hosting environment and leveraging cloud services for others, your business can achieve the best of both worlds.
Legacy Systems and Applications
You still rely on legacy systems and applications that are not easily migrated to the cloud. These systems have dependencies on specific hardware or software configurations that are best managed in a dedicated hosting environment on your own special hardware you bought several years ago. Rack hosting provides a stable and familiar environment for these legacy systems.
Compliance and Security
Your industry has strict compliance and security requirements that can be challenging to meet in a shared cloud environment. Rack hosting allows organizations to implement tailored security measures, such as dedicated firewalls, physical access controls, and custom security protocols, ensuring compliance with regulations like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, POPIA and GDPR.
Full Control Over Hardware
Complete control over the physical hardware, allowing you to customize server configurations to meet your specific needs. This includes selecting the type of processors, memory, storage, and network interfaces, which is crucial for applications requiring specialized hardware.

The server uplink port speed is up to 1 Gbps.
After the payment, your server will be provisioned in about 30 minutes and you can access it via SSH. The disk resize operation, however, may still run in the background for a while after provisioning.
To ensure high uptime and accessibility at all times, we are available 24x7 for any hardware, network, booting, O.S. or login issues. Our System Administration Support will also assist you with basic cPanel & Firewall setup and their issues.

Dedicated Servers can be used for Websites, Databases, Custom Applications, Ecommerce, DNS, File Storage and Emails. Emails, however, must be restricted to personal, organisational or professional purposes. The use of Dedicated Servers to send out mass emails/marketing is NOT recommended and can attract penalties.
Our Dedicated Servers are virtualised (1:1). Thus, nested virtualisation will not work due to network restrictions on the host system.
We don’t have any backup solution at the moment. Yet, we strongly recommend that you maintain a remote backup to avoid any hassles during any ill-fated incident.
