Imaginet Stratus Backup, ZAR 26.00/mo. on Linux/Windows Cloud

Setup fee: R50 once-off. Stratus Backup starts with the 5GB plan at R26.00 per month, so the combined entry uses the cheapest monthly price and the base storage allocation of 5000MB for one protected device. The service provides encrypted cloud backup storage for computers and devices rather than website hosting space, making it suitable for documents, photos, email data, archives, configuration files and other everyday business or personal files that need an off-device copy. The entry represents the Stratus Backup storage range as one combined cloud backup product, with the lowest-priced plan used for the main price field and the larger capacities retained as upgrade choices in this description.

Available Stratus Backup storage options are 5GB at R26.00 per month, 10GB at R33.00 per month, 20GB at R46.00 per month, 50GB at R81.00 per month, 100GB at R142.00 per month, 200GB at R263.00 per month, 500GB at R626.00 per month and 1TB at R1231.00 per month. Each standard storage package includes one protected device, and the standard storage packages have a R50 once-off setup fee. The monthly price covers the selected backup capacity, while the setup fee applies during activation. The larger packages are appropriate when more backup space is needed for heavier document libraries, photo collections, mail data, business files, archives or multi-folder endpoint backups.

Stratus Backup is POPIA-compliant and uses encrypted storage, so it is designed for straightforward backup protection rather than general-purpose VPS, shared hosting or web server use. Storage capacity is selected by plan, and the service can be expanded when more devices need to be protected. Extra device access can be added separately through Stratus licence products, including individual additional licences and bulk licensing for multiple endpoints. Account administration is available through the normal Imaginet customer environment, with support available by email, help desk and telephone. Monthly billing can be paid by debit order or credit card, while EFT is available when services are paid six months or one year in advance. The backup service does not list hosted websites, dedicated IPv4 addresses, CPU allocation, RAM allocation, web bandwidth or a traditional web hosting control panel feature set, so the storage value represents protected backup capacity rather than website disk space.
