xneelo Cloud beta programme

Beta information updated on 18 July 2024.

This article will explain how the beta programme works, what you can expect from the product, and the specific terms that apply.

What is xneelo Cloud?

Xneelo Cloud is a brand-new self-managed Cloud product that we are building. It provides Infrastructure-as-a-Service with various compute, network, and storage offerings. You can create resources on demand and only pay for what you use. 

What is the beta programme?

We’ve launched a beta programme for you to try out the xneelo Cloud product and the new order, payment and billing experiences. You’ll have full access to the product at a significantly discounted price.

Xneelo Cloud and the new order, payment and billing experiences are in continuous development. During the beta, you can expect some changes in the user experience as we receive feedback and make improvements.

As a beta participant, you’ll be a key part of our development process. If you spot any issues, have feature requests or suggestions for improvement, please send us your feedback.

Start using xneelo Cloud

As this is a beta programme, only existing South African customers are eligible to participate. Customers must be an account owner, with a valid customer number and at least one paid invoice.

If you are eligible, you will see a Try xneelo Cloud button in the xneelo Control Panel. This will allow you to sign up for xneelo Cloud and create your first cloud project.

Once you have created your first project, you can use the cloud dashboard to create and manage your cloud resources.

We’ve provided step-by-step guides in the xneelo Cloud Help Centre and the new billing experience Help Centre. If you need additional assistance, please contact us.

Pricing of cloud services

All cloud usage during the beta programme will be billed to your new x-Account. 

Cloud pricing will be set at a significant discount until the full release of the product. There may be some changes or small fluctuations in cloud resource pricing during this period.

You can view our  current pricing and learn how we charge for resources in the pricing in xneelo Cloud article.

New account and billing system

Xneelo Cloud is the first product being launched into the new and improved xneelo customer account – the ‘x-Account’. 

As an xneelo Cloud beta participant, you will also be testing the new order, payment and billing experiences in the x-Account. 

You will need to add your payment details in the x-Account in order to access the xneelo Cloud product and receive invoices for your cloud usage. 

If you have any questions or concerns about your invoices or cloud usage charges, you can request support via live chat or our contact us page.

You can read more information on the two different customer accounts and the new billing cycle process. For more information about the new order, payment and billing experience, visit our Help Centre.
