If you want a fast, virtual private server running Linux (Gentoo, Debian(etch, potato, sid, woody)) or Ubuntu(Feisty, Hardy - Ubuntu not fully supported yet though) from only £7.50 per month, please get in touch. Email sales@thisdomain

Cost (£) Bandwidth (GB) Disk (GB) RAM (MB)
Entry 7.50 150 2 72
Intermediate 15 400 4 144
Advanced 30 1000 8 288

Extra bandwidth and diskspace can be negotiated if needed. Trials available if unsure.

If bash# stumps you, it probably isn't for you.

We may not make flashy/fancy websites, but we provide very fast, stable virtual private servers. And we think that's more important.

Restrictions

Please note: Due to the virtualisation technology used, you will be unable to run your own kernel, load/unload kernel modules, or perform low-level kernel tasks (including iptables - however, tcpwrappers is a good alternative). This gives better performance. Also, we rate limit the number of outbound SMTP connections to a reasonable level. (This is to prevent spammers abusing us)

Software

No software is installed by default, apart from SSH. This saves you disk space, and allows you to build the VPS to your own specifications.

Server info

The servers are located in the UK, near London. The hardware is HP DL360s, with SCSI disks.

Diskspace

Yes, other companies offer you more diskspace. I don't believe them. Look at the cost of SCSI harddisks, remember that you require 2 for a mirrored pair, and then ask yourself - would they really let me use <largeamount>GB, while I'm only paying £<smallamount>?
We don't over-hype/over-sell/cram too many users onto one server. We're honest.

Paypal/credit cards

Nope, sorry. We prefer a monthly standing order, or you can pay for a year up front by cheque/bank transfer.
