Questions
Frequently asked questions
What software can be hosted on a VPS server?
A VPS is ideal for business applications that need reliable performance and secure remote access. Our customers commonly run:
Sage Partner, Sage 200 Evolution and Sage 300 Accounting; Sage 300 People (HR & payroll); Acumatica; IQ Retail; QuickBooks; and cloud desktop environments via Remote Desktop services.
What is the SMB VPS offering?
A South African hosted virtual server solution designed for small to mid-sized businesses. You get dedicated resources, full control and fast local performance, ideal for hosting applications, databases or remote desktops.
Where are the servers hosted?
All VPS servers are hosted locally in South Africa, at Teraco as our primary data centre. This means lower latency, faster access for local users, and compliance with data residency requirements for South African businesses.
Can I host Sage, IQ Retail or other business software on the VPS?
Yes. Many of our clients run Sage Partner, Evolution, X3, IQ Retail and Sage 300 People. You get full control over your environment, just like a physical server.
Is the VPS managed or unmanaged?
By default our VPS is unmanaged: you have full root or administrator access. We also offer optional management packs for backups, cybersecurity (EDR) and patch management if you would like us to handle the heavy lifting.
