Roll up roll up, during April all VPS.NET nodes are priced at £10 rather than their regular price of £20. I’ve checked my calendar & today is officially the last of the VPS.NET introductory offer, so if you don’t want to miss out I recommend getting your skates on and scooting (skating?) on over to VPS.NET immediately!

VPS who?

and just in case you’ve been sat in a cave for the past couple of months and haven’t heard about VPS.NET yet. VPS.NET is UK2’s new VPS cloud hosting brand. It combines all the best features of virtual private servers (root access, control panels, choice of operating systems) with all the benefits of a cloud infrastructure (instant scaling, full rendundancy and self-healing). But don’t just take our word for it, you can also check out what our VPS community have been saying.

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!

Hi all,

“Cloud hosting”, “utility computing”, “the grid”, “VPS”, and “virtual containers” are huge buzzwords in the hosting industry. They all sound really cool (to me at least), but is it something truly new and useful or just the latest trend in marketing hype?

Web hosting 2.0 anyone?

Well, you’re not alone - even for industry insiders like me it can be pretty difficult cutting through the hype and working out what a provider is actually selling. Carlos from vps.net (our upcoming ‘cloud’ brand) gives a really nice explanation of what’s actually going on.

If you’re interested in this kind of stuff (and who isn’t), I recommend you check out his full article Fluffy VPS Cloud on the site.
