New: Add-on Storage Nodes

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Yes, you read it right, you can now purchase additional “Storage Nodes” on their own.

Another much requested feature from our users, it means people can grow their storage without the need to purchase CPU/RAM as well, the price is $10 USD (£7.50) per 25GB

How does it work ?

Here are the steps on how to add storage nodes to your VPS

-On your Dashboard, please select “Buy/Delete” Nodes

The Click “Add Nodes”, you will notice the nodes slider now has 2 tabs “VPS Nodes & Storage” (yes, Storage Nodes are RED)

Just select “Storage” and then you are able to purchase as many storage nodes as you wish, after edit your VPS and again the “storage” tab is present, select the number of storage nodes you wish to add, click save.

And thats it !, your VPS will now reboot and resize the disk partition, depending on how much storage you added it will take a few seconds to a few minutes to boot.

Deleting VPS’s & Billing

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

We noticed a few people opened tickets asking that if they deleted and re-created their VPS if they would get charged again.

The short answer is “NO”

VPS.NET works in a very different way than other providers, we do not charge for VPS’s .. we charge for “Nodes”

Nodes are a “bundle” of resources from the VPS cloud, and they are Geo-Independent, you are free to use them on the UK and the US cloud, they are the available Ram, HD, Bandwidth that you can assign you VPS.

Now when you delete your VPS, your nodes simply go back to your “Resource Pool”, free to be used on your next VPS’s .. so as long as you dont delete/add more nodes, no billing operations are in place.

This is what (we think) makes VPS.NET so great, with other providers you purchase 1 VPS with fixes resources, with us, you purchase resources and are then free to create VPS’s with them as you see fit, by utilizing the node calculation structure.

We hope this made it a little bit clearer, and feel free to post any questions you might have on this forum thread.
