@kilobitsperyear - Just to confirm, it is for both US and SA hosted websites.
 
The lack of a database in the beginner package is distressing, as MWEB does have one, even if its limited.

Mweb does have 50MB limitation on that the Mysql DB, noting the features included when comparing both entry level packages RSAWEB offers more value for money.
 
Interesting AUP for this service:

Resource Usage by Traffic
The following items are excluded from the "unlimited traffic consumption" available with our hosting accounts:



Graphic files (.jpg, .gif, .bmp, .png, .xmb, .swf etc.) exceeding 100 KB in size.
Audio files (.mp3, .wav, .ra, ..au, etc.)
Video files (.avi, .ram, .mpg, .mov, .qt, etc.)
Compressed files (.zip, .tar, .sit, .exe, .bin, .gz/gzip, etc.) for download exceeding 100KB in size.
Formatted documents (.doc, .pdf, .ps, etc.) for download exceeding 100 KB in size.
Any file exceeding 250KB
RSAWeb Internet Services reserves the right to charge for excessive traffic and / or suggest suitable alternatives to the client as it deems necessary at it's sole discretion Resource Usage


Users may not, through a cron job, CGI script, interactive commands, or any other means, initiate the following on our servers:



Run any process that requires more than 8Mb of memory space.
Run any program that requires more than 30 CPU seconds. Use find anywhere except in their own directories.
Send out mail to more than 20 addresses in one batch, whether sequentially or in parallel, not exceeding 100 recipients. Such batches must "sleep" for at least three seconds between each delivery attempt.
Send or receive, through mail, any file larger than 1MB. This limit, or a similar limit, may be enforced in our software.
Run their own mailing list software.
Run an interactive chat application.
Run a banner exchange, remotely accessible web counter, or any other services that perform CGI processes for sites outside our network.

So basically, they can charge you for traffic usage if you have any reasonably sized graphics and/or documents on your website and if you receive emails which are larger than 1MB...


So basically you have unlimited traffic for a static html page with no graphics and very small emails...
 
Eish... practically useless then. A very limiting unlimited AUP.

Meh.

mwebs uncapped hosting stilll beats this hands down, because it is not just the traffice that is uncapped, the disk space that my website uses is not limited either... all for the same R19 (or free if you have adsl)

Hey Murmaider,

That is outdated and will be changed shortly, this is the official terms specific to uncapped hosting, found on the RSAWEB website:
http://www.rsaweb.co.za/rsaweb-legal

1.1 Traffic to the website is uncapped, subject to the other terms in this agreement.

1.2 Once the allocated disk space of a package has been reached, over usage rates will be in effect.

1.3 In addition to RSAWEB’s Terms and Acceptable Use Policy contained in the General Terms, the following conditions apply:

1.3.1 Shared Webhosting services are intended for the hosting of typical website content, to serve the needs of the normal operation of a personal or small home business website.

1.3.2 The service is not intended to support the sustained demand of medium to large enterprises or non-typical applications better suited to a dedicated/cloud server.

1.3.3 Disk Space is not intended for online file storage or archiving electronic files, documents, log files, backups, other non-web based content or FTP hosts, all of which is prohibited.

1.3.4 All password protected archive (zip and rar) files not acceptable on RSAWEB servers.

1.3.5 All downloadable files or files stored on the Server must be directly related to the general nature of the Website index. All files on a Domain must be part of the active Website and linked to the site.

1.3.6 Shared Webhosting and Database Disk Space are intended to accommodate the files necessary for publishing a website. Storage, exchange and download of additional files within Customer’s webhosting space, in a peer-to-peer arrangement or for any other purpose is not allowed.”

That is not local. You need to click the "Local Web Hosting" tab.

+100

currently using their service and its working great no issues. and the 50mb limit is great for a basice website. and if you need more you can add more db storage for a small fee.
