Hi,

Here for your delectation is my little contribution to the masses of internet information on how to make good  (and sometimes crazy) money online. I’ve split this up into a series of guides (3 in total) outlining how I think it can happen, why there’s so much internet spam surrounding this, and more importantly how people really do it!

Quite topical at the moment too as the word on the street is that many financial services types are turning their hands to setting up online businesses (I even know of one personally).

Todays nugget is a bit of a no brainer really but I hope I’ve got some tidbits in here you might not have thought of or didn’t consider, so please sit back, relax and I’ll impart my pearls of wisdom for you…

Hello - I thought I’d share a few of the new developments we are working on at UK2Group.

A few days ago Nicola wrote about the new control panel we’ve been working on for quite a while. We are really thrilled about it, and can’t wait to roll it out. We have named it “Tera”, and we’ve got this short video ready as a presentation of how it’s been implemented at our US dedicated server brand 10tb.com.

Check it out: Demo of Tera.CP on 10tb.com

Also, as Carlos mentioned back in December 08, the Virtual Private Server Cloud hosting setup at www.vps.net is on its way. It’s been through first and second beta round, and will actually go live within the coming 2 weeks.

We have lots of new projects on the way - watch this space!

Best,

Hi all,

It seems that we’ve caused a little bit of confusion after launching our new control panel, as at log in it asks for a username and password, and some of you have been wondering “What’s my UK2 username?!”

Previously customers could log in with a choice of account name, domain name, server number or @UK2 email address and the associated password (s), which is quite a lot of options and information to remember. We have tried to simplify the process of logging in, so please bear with us, and have a read of the tips below to help you on your way.

Hi all,

If you’ve been a UK2 customer for a while you’ve probably become very familiar with the layout of the UK2 website, and the tabs that are there to help you find your way around.

Well today we have had to change our tabs, to make room for a brand new Virtual Private Server (VPS) product and website called VPS.NET!

The tab we have taken away is the “Free E-mail” tab.
