Networking


When you create a server, two network ranges will be available to you. One with an external, internet-facing range, and one with an internal range safely demilitarised behind the firewall. Both are optional and if absent you can only access your machines through the > CloudAfrica dashboard.


Profile


A profile is a view of the account you’re currently logged in as. Your profile page lets you manage personal information, and view information on your personal quotas.


Servers


This is why you’re here, selling servers is what CloudAfrica does.
