The VPS beta badge of honour

Friday, March 20th, 2009

In our ‘Show your love …’ blog post we asked VPS Beta testers to show that they care and add our mascot ‘404′ to their site. I’m pleased say that surfing around, I’ve spotted a few badges beaming back at me.

It’s really satisfying seeing your work around the web, so I thought it’d be nice to do a couple of shout-outs below. These are only the ones that I’ve spotted on my travels, so I’ve missed any please let me know :)

Beta Registration Numbers.

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Since we started taking registrations for beta, we have received over 600 requests from people interested in being a beta tester so far !

Not bad when you consider we have not yet ran any advertising on VPS.NET, nor our US Cloud is setup yet (it will be next week)… The VPS.NET team is overjoyed with the response we have got from the current Beta members (150+), everybody seem to love the incredibly easy and fast deployment method, using our “Node Slider”, plus the piece of mind that comes from hosting in the cloud.

And still we have much more to come, so stay tuned and visit often ;)
