Look, Web AddiCT(s); have a new domain name 👐 Web AddiCT 🇿🇦

We’ve moved this blogs hosting out of south africa (saving us 90% on bandwith hosting costs) no longer will our primary domain name be webaddict.co.za we’ve changed it to webaddict.co.za & put all the apache redirects in place which allows you not to have to change anything in your feed reader, bookmarks, favourites and the SERPs.

Nearly all the hosting bandwidth costs go straight to Telkom. Telkom makes billions in Profit. Telkom loses a R2billion law suit. The money goes out of South Africa anyhow. ‘Why not skip Telkom as much as possible and keep 90% of that cost in South AFrica?” Your Web AddiCT thought.

The only real advantage I have ever managed to come up with to host in South Africa would be that people on a local-only ISDSL account (or people that passed their international cap and are on local-only access) can still access your site. How many of those people are there around? Probably not much.

The most frustrating thing about South African hosting companies are that they don’t seem to make any distinction between international bandwidth and local bandwidth. Say you run an e-mail server. Somebody from overseas sends you a 10 MB file. Now you pay once to download that file onto your server. Then you fetch the file locally but still pay the same rates as international access, even though it’s much cheaper. Ridiculous.

Just for today. You're one too.
