Metrofile Cloud launches new virtual private server hosting to boost SMBs

Metrofile Cloud MD, Steve Porter

In a significant move to assist small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with digital presence and operational efficiency, Metrofile Cloud has rolled out a new Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting solution.

This innovative service offers an affordable yet powerful alternative for SMBs, complete with dedicated resources typically associated with enterprise-level solutions but accommodated within a shared environment.

Steve Porter, Managing Director of Metrofile Cloud, emphasised the strategic advantage of the new VPS hosting solution.

“Our VPS enables SMBs to access cloud technologies within a self-managed and secure environment, providing them the capability to compete robustly in the digital marketplace without heavy financial outlays,” Porter stated.

He further noted the service’s relevance amid rising demands for cost-effective and flexible server solutions in South Africa, a need spurred by stronger local data handling regulations and latency optimisation.

Metrofile Cloud’s launch comes at a time when the VPS market segment is experiencing rapid growth, now accounting for 10.3 percent of the global hosting market.

“VPS is growing faster than traditional shared hosting due to its affordability and performance benefits. It also meets the increasing demand for security through isolated server environments and supports the widespread digital transformation across industries,” explained Porter.

Offering Tailored to Business Growth and Technological Independence

A standout feature of Metrofile Cloud’s VPS offering is its emphasis on user autonomy.

The service includes an intuitive self-service portal tailored for both end-customers and resellers.

This design allows users comprehensive control over their hosting services, from handling payments directly on-site to monitoring their server performance and accessing customer support.

Porter highlighted, “We aim to dismantle the technological and financial hurdles that typically hinder small businesses. Our solution is designed to scale with the business, providing flexibility without the need for long-term contractual commitments.”

Businesses can opt for monthly, semi-annual, or annual payment plans, all available at competitive rates.

Streamlined Process and Customer-Centric Approach

Understanding the typical challenges businesses face when changing hosting providers, Metrofile Cloud simplifies the transition by managing the migration process from previous hosts to its platform.

This effort includes an easy-to-navigate control panel that consolidates management of various services in one location.

For over two decades, Metrofile Cloud has been a significant player in developing enterprise-grade hosting services.

Now, this depth of experience and commitment to quality is extended to SMBs.

The company promises around-the-clock customer support and direct engagements to ensure businesses receive optimal benefits in terms of product functionality, competitive pricing, and comprehensive support.

“The VPS solution draws on our long-standing expertise and is backed by a team dedicated to ensuring our clients have access to top-tier products and support,” concluded Porter.

With its latest offering, Metrofile Cloud is set to redefine hosting solutions for SMBs in South Africa, equipping them with tools essential for thriving in a digital-first business landscape.
