With this new feature, you are now able to schedule a burst of nodes to your VPS for when you need it, and only pay for those nodes on a daily rate of $1 (£1 in UK) per node.

So how does it work ?, simple on your VPS view you now have this new Tab:

Inside it you are able to schedule a “Burst” of nodes for that VPS, there are 2 kinds of bursts, “temporary” and “permanent”

On temporary you can select to add a number of nodes to your VPS at a certain date and time and keep it there for a determined period of days, with this choice, you are charged $1 USD / £1 GBP per day per node you are using extra, at the end of the period those nodes will simply go away.

On permanent, you can schedule your VPS to be upgraded to a certain number of nodes, the nodes will be permanently added to your account and assigned to the VPS, you can at a later date remove them if you wish, those nodes are charged at the standard monthly rates.

Once assigned you are able to quickly view upcoming scheduled upgrades, you can also remove any scheduled upgrades before they occur and not be charged for it, charing only happens when the upgrade runs.

Why this feature one might ask ?, there are many instances when your VPS might need that extra resource boost, a good example for a temporary boost is used on these screenshots, say you have a mailing-list to send to your customers, notifying of something new or a special on your website, it can be a good idea to boost your VPS resources to coincide with the mailing-list so you can ensure your site wont be overloaded when that sudden influx of visitors comes to your website.

As for permanent, if you know you will need more resources from a certain date onwards, you can now schedule your upgrades so your not paying for the period before when you dont yet need it, it’s just piece of mind and another way VPS.NET shows how flexible our system is.

In the near future we will be adding “Recurring Scheduled Bursts”, so you can set temporary boosts on a recurring fashion.

Keep looking for many more great features, we keep working to amaze you.

And everybody’s favorite, the new KVM-Like Shell page.

                          

Coming up with a proper price was no simple task, we had to take in consideration many factors, such as all the cost to deploy a VPS in a Cloud environment, with proper fail-over redundancy and RAID-10 SAN back-ends .. those dont come cheap , but at the same time, we wanted to make it competitive enough against standard VPS offerings (server based) that are deployed by a fraction of the price of the Cloud … quite a task indeed.

We hope the users will see the value of the product and find the price to be quite a bargain for this type of system

As per request, the more you purchase, the larger the savings

                          

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 !!

As I look to my calendar for the 50th time today, I am rushed with a feeling of overjoy with the fact in 10 days we put forward the best Virtual Private Server Cloud ever released, to be poked, tested and abused by it’s Beta Testers, but I am also left with lots of anxiety when I look at all the network graphs, over 10K lines of new code for the back-end (so far, plus another 500k lines of licensed code), hundreds .. no, thousands of man-hours, a truckload of servers and countless spools of fiber cable .. and a whole lot of fun putting it all together.

Since we closed the Beta, we had a few more people “liaison” their way into the Beta program by calling a friend of a friend who knows a friend who can get them in, so by the time we said “No More !!!“, locked the office doors and refused to answer the phone to internal calls, the total Beta Pool stood at close to 100 people!!

… We cant wait

                          

These bad boys are not cheap, upon their release they commanded a RRP of 30,000$USD, of course, we buying in bulk, so discounts do apply, but cost in this case are well worth the price-tag, we do get redundant dual power supply, wire speed with a 136Gps capacity and a forwarding rate of 72 million packets per second (mpps)..

Just another example of our commitment to make the VPS Cloud the most stable system for the price you can ever buy into.

                          

One will be located in our Utah Datacenter in the USA (home of Westhost, named one of the most reliable hosting companies by Netcraft), the second will reside on our London, UK Datacenter.

Until now we have been working on the VPS Cloud with “temporary” hardware, but with the date of our beta closing in, the final hardware has begun to arrive, today we got to see some of it in the UK office.

Now bare in mind, the hardware costs for the VPS cloud are higher than many smaller companies gross in an entire year, so to see this array of top notch hardware come thru the door, well .. lets just say some bibs where in order to contain the drool
