If you choose a Temphalla website, then you choose a WAAS website. But what does that mean for you? What exactly does the term WAAS stand for?

WAAS, SAAS, IAAS, …

The term WAAS stands for Website As A Service. It is an ICT term like the terms SAAS and IAAS. SAAS stands for Software As A Service and is the most well-known term of the list. IAAS stands for Infrastructure As A Service.  Both SAAS, IAAS and WAAS focus on 'As A Service'. The software, infrastructure or website are provided as a service, a service in the form of a subscription. You pay nothing when you start using the software, infrastructure or website, but a (usually) fixed monthly amount for an indefinite or a specified period. For that monthly amount, you can then use the software, infrastructure or website. And in exchange for that monthly fee, the software, infrastructure or website is maintained and kept up to date for you.

The big advantage? You don't have to invest large sums of money upfront; keeping your software or infrastructure live, updated, secure, monitored and maintained is done for you by specialists with knowledge and expertise. So you no longer need to be a specialist yourself and you can spend your time on what really matters for your business or job.

Some examples of a SAAS solution

Some well-known examples of a SAAS solution are Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace. You don't pay a one-off (large) fee for use, but you pay a fixed monthly fee to use Microsoft Office 365 or Google Workspace. If there are updates or new features, you can just use them.

Some examples of a IAAS solution

Server cloud solutions such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google cloud are well-known examples of an IAAS solution. You do not buy a physical server that you have in your office, but you use the cloud servers from Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud. Each month, you simply pay for the use of the cloud servers that are 100% maintained and managed for you.
