Jonathan's Musings

Dedicated Server hosting in SA greatly saddens me :-(

I am used to the slick service I receive from overseas hosts where all product and pricing options are shown up front, a variety of options are available, bandwidth is cheap, all servers are protected by DOS and Intrustion detection systems and the service is (for the most part) quick, efficient and satisfying!

Here, the guys don't even display their offerings on their own websites! You have to request a quote, which takes a while to be drawn up and sent and which comes delivered in a hastily copy-and-pasted document or Excel spreadsheet which isn't very self explanatory and covers more than you asked for, or not enough!

Once you do actually receive it, thoughts of how much your kidney would be worth on the black market cross your mind, as your eyes bulge at the bottom line!

And for this price, you might be forgiven for thinking that the network is secured by top notch Intrusion Detection system, Denial of Service Attack hardware and the like. But you'd be wrong...

Dedicated server hosting in SA saddens me, and I long for the day when someone comes along and does it right. I have felt for many years, that I would like to be the one to do this...

Perhaps I may still...
