Thread: www.vps.net - in beta, you like it?

What else are old office PCs for

you guys are just jealous

Well now you come to mention it... you could just be right.. We couldn't engineer that in a million years and I don't mind admitting it... Give me an Exchange cluster to get my teeth into any day...

It's not *that* difficult to build a system that falls over after 30 minutes use

Guess not - mediatemple and mosso both did it the hard part is to make your clients pay for those failing systems like they did

This is a beta - and a private one at that even...so issues were expected, and more will surely come.

hehe

Ditlev, out of interest why did you link the RAM, CPU and disk usage together - technical or commercial?

Few more questions - why not Win2kX support? Is the SAN using SATA drives?

Also some feedback, although I appreciate this may be a difference of opinions. On the front page there's a box that says:
"Dedicated Resources - Each system is guaranteed a share of"
In my book a share of a CPU isn't a dedicated resource, I think it could be phrased a bit better.

I'm guessing commercial, who wants a 256MB ram, 200GB disk with 100 IP's customer ?

Another bit of feedback - the slider you can drag on the signup process doesn't specify bandwidth, although it says it in the body of the page above.

We've tried to make this really simple for users. The typical UK2Group client (VI.net excluded) would never be able to buy something from Mosso or EC2, they just wouldn't understand the setup/pricing/etc.
By making it chunks of bundled resources we are hoping it seems simpler, and perhaps resembles something they might have seen from dedicated and VPS offerings other places.

also, windows will come soon.

Nothing wrong with that IMO, if the IP addresses and disk space are priced correctly.

BTW: I've just read my comments above and they sound a bit blunt and 'nasty'. They are not at all meant like that, just some helpful feedback. (I am in a straight-talking mood this morning.)
