Reseller Announcement: 2021 Price Review
Dear Valued Customers,
Due to vendor increases and the cost of maintaining our infrastructure, we review and adjust our prices each year to continue to offer the best services and support that we can. In light of COVID and the impact it has had on all of us, we have attempted to shield you from these increases as much as possible.
However, some of our pricing structure has been adjusted in line with annual vendor increases and this may impact products or services you are utilising. Many of our services have moved to a ‘Per Resource’ model to ensure you are only paying for the resources you are using. We urge you to read through this blog to ensure you are aware of any price changes that may affect you.
A price increase will, therefore, be implemented on some of our services. We are also changing the structure of the reseller discount.
Virtual Servers
Our Virtual Server pricing has been changed to a per resource model and hence we have established new packages in line with this. Existing Virtual server prices will be impacted by our IP address price increase from R19 to R20 as. Due to vendor increases, as well as the exchange rate, we will also be billing Virtual Servers using the new per resource model (R45 per CPU Core, R45 per GB, per R1 per GB SSD).
Linux Cloud Servers
Our Linux Cloud Server pricing has been changed to a per resource model and hence we have established new packages in line with this. Existing Virtual server prices will be impacted by our IP address price increase from R19 to R20. Due to vendor increases, as well as the exchange rate, we will also be billing Linux Cloud Servers using the new per resource model (R55 per CPU Core, R55 per GB, per R1 per GB SSD).
Windows Cloud Servers
Our Windows Cloud Server pricing has been changed to a per resource model and hence we have established new packages in line with this. Existing Windows Cloud Servers will be impacted by our IP address price increase from R19 to R20. Due to vendor increases, as well as the exchange rate, we will also be billing Windows Cloud Servers using the new per resource model(R65 per CPU Core, R65 per GB, per R1 per GB SSD).
VPS Reseller
We have decided to change the structure of our reseller program. Instead of the flat reseller discount, we will now provide a discount ranging from 5-20% depending on your spend with us. The new pricing of your server will therefore be the new “normal” price of the server minus your reseller discount based on spend. Please let us know if you need us to confirm your new pricing/reseller discount.
Regards
The HOSTAFRICA Team
