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
