My, My .. 10 days to go until we open up the VPS.NET Cloud Beta.

As I look to my calendar for the 50th time today, I am rushed with a feeling of overjoy with the fact in 10 days we put forward the best Virtual Private Server Cloud ever released, to be poked, tested and abused by it’s Beta Testers, but I am also left with lots of anxiety when I look at all the network graphs, over 10K lines of new code for the back-end (so far, plus another 500k lines of licensed code), hundreds .. no, thousands of man-hours, a truckload of servers and countless spools of fiber cable .. and a whole lot of fun putting it all together.

Since we closed the Beta, we had a few more people “liaison” their way into the Beta program by calling a friend of a friend who knows a friend who can get them in, so by the time we said “No More !!!“, locked the office doors and refused to answer the phone to internal calls, the total Beta Pool stood at close to 100 people!!

… We cant wait

We wish to thank everybody who signed up for the beta program, we intended to collect 50 registration and in the end we ended up with 85

A few interesting fact of the participants:

Location:

As expected, the majority where from the UK & US, but 1/3 are from a wide variety of geo locations.

VPS Experience:

Seeing that VPS.NET is an advanced cloud system, it’s no surprise to see so many Advanced users interested on it, but it’s worth noticing the interest of people who never had a VPS before, a VPS.NET Virtual Private Server ensures those people startup with the best possible system

We are on target to initiate the beta by the end of this month (January), everybody who signed up will receive more information on how to proceed by then.

cheers.
