    Short Tera.CP and VPS.NET demo videos

    By Ditlev

    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.

    See how to setup new virtual private server on the VPS.net Cloud

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

    Best,

    What’s my UK2 Username?

    By Nicola

    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.

  • All UK2 customers have a username, but it was previously called account name, and it was automatically generated based on your email address for example: firstname.lastname@uk2.net/1
