Hi all,

We’ve sent out another press release today about a really big decision we’ve made as a group, where all support functions across all brands will moved in-house.

Here at UK2 we’ve enjoyed in-house support for years now, as we have our own London based call centre, but given the current economic climate this shows that UK2 as a group doesn’t want to let customers down.

Have a read below.

Thanks,

Nicola

Hi everyone,

Fantastic news!

Last month I updated you on some Domain Name statistics from the Q3 2008 Verisign Report.

Here are the latest facts and figures for Q4 2008. It’s an interesting read, especially as the global economic crisis now seems to have affected growth in domain names. Not good news for the hosting industry

Happy reading!

As some of you may know UK2Group beta-launched our VPS cloud at www.vps.net a few days ago. We only allowed around 80 users in the initial betatest, but we’ve since had literally hundreds of requests from users who wants to try this new technology. We have room for around 10 users more in the first beta-user session.

Carlos Rego from UK2Group came up with the idea to let the beta-requester’s write a poem speaking of their undying affection for the VPS Cloud

I really had my doubts - this would never work, I thought. But - - I was proved quite wrong.
Take a look at the wonderful poems here - or read a few snipplets below:
