VPS.NET - Exclusive deal with ISPmanager and new features
UK2 Group is pleased to announce an exclusive deal with ISPsystem which will allow VPS.NET (http://vps.net) to offer customers ISPsystem's flagship control panel "ISPmanager PRO" FREE.
ISPmanager PRO is one of the leading server management control panels in the market. The control panel allows customers to manage various aspects of a web server through a friendly web interface. ISPmanager Pro is powerful but lightweight, as it only utilises 10MB of RAM and 40MB of Hard Disk space. The usual pricing for ISPmanager is €34.00 per month, which means that VPS.NET customers get even greater value from their VPS solution as they will get ISPmanager for free.
In addition, VPS.NET have recently launched a new feature which allows customers to upgrade the amount of nodes on their VPS when needed. There are two kinds of upgrade available, temporary and permanent. With a temporary upgrade a customer can select to add a number of nodes to their VPS at a certain date and time, and keep it there for a determined period of days and afterwards the extra nodes will simply go away. Customers only pay for the extra "temporary burst nodes" on a daily rate of £1 per node. With a permanent upgrade a customer can schedule their VPS to be upgraded to an increased number of nodes, which are permanently added to the account and assigned to the VPS. The nodes can be removed at any time but are charged for at the standard monthly rates.
This feature is ideal for customers who need to extra capacity on a short term, flexible basis with pricing to match. Instances of when temporary or permanent "bursts" night be needed are; to support marketing activities which result in an influx of website traffic, for increasing the amount of resources for development projects, for growing companies who might not need the extra resources straight away but want to future proof and so on. In the near future VPS.NET will be launching "Recurring Scheduled Bursts" where customers can set temporary increases in nodes on a recurring basis.
