Beta Registration Numbers.

Posted on February 26, 2009 by NullMind

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 is 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

Pricing… version 2.0

Posted on February 19, 2009 by NullMind

Since we announced the pricing 2 weeks ago, we have been reading and listening to the various comments people had about it, we assumed we had nailed it the first time around.. but you know what they say about assuming too much .. dont !

As such, we have gone back to the drawing board and squeeze every penny and pence we could out of the CFO, and have come up with the following changes:

1 - Double the Mhz per node, from 200Mhz to 400Mhz

By increasing the Mhz we make each node more powerful and capable, a better value on itself.

2 - Lowers the pricing per node.

So yes, not only we doubling the CPU, we are making the cost of each node cheaper as well, who said the VPS Cloud cannot be cheap as chips ? (no, you cannot have chips also)

Despite all these great discounts, we might even floats a few extra discount coupons here and there, just keep your eyes and ears open wide for those as well

VPS Cloud Beta Open!

Posted on February 2, 2009 by NullMind

Finally, the day has come where we open up the VPS Cloud to be beta tested.

We ask all the testers to please keep in mind this is a Beta, and as such, we expect a few bugs and problems to arise, the objective is to find any issues now before we go Live and start charging for it

Having said that, please do keep backups of any date you place on your VPS, make sure to register in the forums and leave us lots of feedback

One day to go!

Posted on February 1, 2009 by NullMind

I have received some emails from Beta testers asking or their signup information, it seems it's not just us who are getting excited, they cant wait to get into the VPS Cloud and start playing

Almost there .. one more day and we will be sending the signup info and unique beta codes, but from those of us internally that have already setup some VPS Nodes ... trust me, the wait is worthed it, you will love it !!

Sweet, Sweet Speed from the VPS Cloud!
