RBS Virtual Hosting

RBS Virtual Hosting is an alternative to purchasing your own hardware and software to operate an Online Backup service. You distribute a white-label version of our industry leading Remote Backup Client software to your customers, and they back up to RBS' data centers. You maintain your own customer relationships, determine your own end-user pricing, and distribute software with your own branding.

Sell Online Backup services at your own web site. Your customers will be able to sign up for your service, pay, and download their software online, immediately. Your website modifications are as simple as adding a button. You can also sell Online Backup services without a web site, using your Virtual Hosting Portal to add customers.

Grow as fast as you like. Virtual Hosting accounts have access to unlimited Client licenses and unlimited storage space. Add as many clients as you like, whenever you like, with no pre-payment. You will be charged once a month, in arrears, for the total number of Client licenses and total amount of storage space your customers use.

Your Virtual Hosting account comes with a powerful yet simple web-based management portal allowing you to manage your clients online. The built-in software distribution system links seamlessly with your web site through a shopping cart service. This allows your customers to sign up for service at your web site, pay, and download their software immediately. Click here for technical information.

Existing Service Providers

If you have bought RBS software to host your own server, and you'd like to convert to a Virtual Hosted account, you can do so for 50% of the setup fee, no charges for Client licenses up to the amount that you bought, and standard rates for storage space. Call RBS if you would like to convert.

Our Data Centers

RBS maintains two data centers with redundant Dell servers and 90 terabytes of RAIDed and remotely mirrored storage space, quickly scalable as needed. The data centers are climate controlled with UPS power and backup generators. They have very tight digital and physical security, 24/7 monitoring, and dedicated high-speed connections between the two. Our data centers are managed and maintained by RBS technicians, and tested daily for all known vulnerabilities.

Our RBS Servers are hosted on super fast Dell servers. The Server software is always our latest version with all the necessary PlugIns and features, including five types of Email notifications that can be sent automatically to your clients (and to you).

The Client Software

The Client software you distribute to your customers has all the features available in our best high-end software, including support for Servers and Workstations, open files, MS Exchange, SQL Server, System State, and Active Directory. Virtual Hosting client software backs up only local hard drives, so you will need one Client license for each computer.

Virtual Hosting Prices

A one-time startup fee of $750 covers the setup of your account and access to online customization tools that allow you to brand your Client software with your own company name, product name, service plans, and dozens of other options. For an additional fee of $250 RBS will customize your icons and graphics.

Monthly usage fees are billed to your credit card in arrears on the 15th of each month, for the number of clients you have and the amount of storage space they are using. Monthly fees are prorated for your clients who have been in service for less than 30 days.

The base fee for client licenses is $5 per month per client. Storage space starts at $5 per gigabyte, with a minimum purchase of 10 clients and 10 gigabytes. So, your minimum monthly investment is $100. Click here for further pricing information.

RBS offers lower client license fees and storage fees for higher quantities. Please phone us with your specific needs.
