| The difference between local hosting and international hosting |
| |
* Local - the Servers are physically located in South Africa (Cape Town, Johannesburg etc).
* International - the Servers are located in other countries like Germany, USA etc. Most international hosting deals are very competitive and offer very good deals especially on bandwidth usage.
Many local small businesses have opted for the international deals because of that extra R30.00 per month in their pockets. The fact is that the prices differences worldwide vary much!
International is cheaper because geographically the infrastructure and bandwidth is much lower than South Africa.
The above is because of the exurbanite costs of our local telecommunications company(s)…
Although the above holds true the costs have been sliced in the last couple of years and we are already becoming more and more competitive world wide, hopefully this will change completely in the next year or three…. Red Cactus hosts in South Africa where we have complete control of the servers and can provide the best managed hosting environment possible. We continue to adapt our prices and pass these savings directly to our clients without hesitance. At Red Cactus, we believe in serving South African based businesses with the best web hosting environment, the reason why 99% of our clients domains are hosted locally in South Africa. Some other reasons why we prefer hosting in South Africa are: Here are some facts regarding the local vs. international deals, in good old Afrikaans remember “Goedkoop is duurkoop” , or in this case it CAN be more costly… we leave that for you to explore and risk, for that extra R30.00 per month in your pocket.
Local is faster
Local support (no delays)
South Africa have only a few international links and if they are down then local is not effected.
Search Engine Optimization like GOOGLE’s takes geographical info into account… so you WILL have better search results locally.
* Faster Website Access
* Local Technical Support in South African Time Zone
* Greater % local internet network up time, especially when one of SA's international internet links break.
* Better geographic location improves geographical SEO (Search Engine Optimization) |
