FAQ

Our platform implements the AWS S3 API, so tools you already use—such as Cyberduck, rclone, s3cmd, or any S3 SDK—connect without modification. You can migrate workloads from other S3 providers by simply updating the endpoint URL and credentials.
Every object is stored redundantly across multiple storage nodes for 11 nines of durability and is encrypted at rest with AES-256. TLS encryption secures transfers, and you control access with access keys, secret keys, and optional bucket policies.
Buckets are hosted in South African data centres with strict physical and logical security controls. Keeping data within the country helps businesses align with POPIA requirements and maintain low-latency access for local workloads.
Billing is based on the storage capacity you choose in the calculator above. Ingress, egress, and API operations are included, so there are no surprise bandwidth bills. Need more capacity? Upgrade instantly and pay only the pro-rated difference.
Inbound uploads (ingress) and outbound downloads (egress) are unlimited on every plan, so you can move data freely without worrying about metered bandwidth. We also do not cap the number of S3 API requests—automations and applications can call the service as often as they need.
Use it for backup archives, application assets, media libraries, analytics data lakes, or static website content. Object lifecycle policies let you automate retention and tiering so you can balance performance with long-term storage costs.
No. You can upload objects of any size (within the 5 TB S3 limit) and keep them for as little or as long as you like. There are no early deletion penalties or minimum storage duration surcharges—you only pay for the space you actively consume.
Unlike tiered cold-storage platforms that penalise early deletions, Webway only bills for the data that remains in your buckets. Delete objects whenever you like and your next invoice reflects the reduced footprint—no deferred deletion fees or hidden penalties.
