			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, you read it right, you can now purchase additional &#8220;Storage Nodes&#8221; on their own.</p>
<p>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 <b>$10</b> USD (£7.50) per <b>25GB</b></p>
<blockquote>
<p>How does it work ?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Here are the steps on how to add storage nodes to your VPS</p>
<p>-On your Dashboard, please select &#8220;Buy/Delete&#8221; Nodes<br />
<img src="http://vps.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/VPS.NET.jpg" width="500" height="167" alt="VPS.NET New: Add on Storage Nodes" style="border:1px #000000 dotted;" title="New: Add on Storage Nodes" /></p>
<p>The Click &#8220;Add Nodes&#8221;, you will notice the nodes slider now has 2 tabs &#8220;VPS Nodes &amp; Storage&#8221; (yes, Storage Nodes are <font color="#7E280F">RED</font>)<br />
<img src="http://vps.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/VPS.NET-2.jpg" width="500" height="205" alt="VPS.NET 2 New: Add on Storage Nodes" style="border:1px #000000 dotted;" title="New: Add on Storage Nodes" /></p>
<p>Just select &#8220;Storage&#8221; and then you are able to purchase as many storage nodes as you wish, after edit your VPS and again the &#8220;storage&#8221; tab is present, select the number of storage nodes you wish to add, click <b>save.</b></p>
<p><b><br />
<img src="http://vps.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/VPS.NET-4.jpg" width="500" height="201" alt="VPS.NET 4 New: Add on Storage Nodes" style="border:1px #000000 dotted;" title="New: Add on Storage Nodes" /></b></p>
<p><b>And thats it</b> !, 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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We noticed a few people opened tickets asking that if they deleted and re-created their VPS if they would get charged again.</p>
<p>The short answer is &#8220;NO&#8221;</p>
<p>VPS.NET works in a very different way than other providers, we do not charge for VPS&#8217;s .. we charge for &#8220;Nodes&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-192" title="nodes-1" src="http://vps.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/nodes-1.jpg" alt="nodes 1 Deleting VPSs & Billing" width="122" height="51" /></p>
<p>Nodes are a &#8220;bundle&#8221; 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.</p>
<p>Now when you delete your VPS, your nodes simply go back to your &#8220;Resource Pool&#8221;, free to be used on your next VPS&#8217;s .. so as long as you dont delete/add more nodes, no billing operations are in place.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s with them as you see fit, by utilizing the node calculation structure.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-193" title="nodes" src="http://vps.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/nodes.jpg" alt="nodes Deleting VPSs & Billing" width="170" height="171" /></p>
<p>We hope this made it a little bit clearer, and feel free to post any questions you might have on <a href='http://vps.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1097'>this forum thread</a>.</p>
