A 12-month agreement, billed month-to-month by debit order. Prices include VAT. The managed virtual-server environment remains under Strand Web’s administration for the duration of the service. No physical hardware ownership transfers to the client.
No. Published figures are starting “from” prices including VAT. The questionnaire shows a provisional monthly range. Your final quotation follows an assessment of the application, licensing, storage, backup and security requirements.
Enterprise is one premium managed server (from R12,600/month). If the application and database should run on separate servers, we quote two managed servers — typically from R25,200/month. That pair is not included in the Enterprise list price.
The package from-price is the managed server. A Windows Server licence is an extra add-on and is quoted separately. Linux does not need that licence. RDS, SQL Server and Windows edition upgrades are also quoted extra.
No. Our advertised server packages are managed services that include setup, monitoring, automated backups, patching and a defined maintenance allowance. This allows Strand Web to maintain the security and reliability of the environment.
Managed servers use automated daily backups and a stated retention period. Business and Enterprise include backup-success verification. We do not sell “hours of backup labour” — restore tests and extra retention are quoted.
The commitment is 12 months. Billing is month-to-month via debit order (eMandate signed online). Extra server labour is quoted after approval — it is not assumed at the website hourly rate.
Tell us the workload, Windows or Linux, and whether you need one server or a separate database server. We will come back with a quotation and the 12-month debit-order terms.
