Custom VPS & Hosting Plans are our speciality

Posted on July 14, 2011 by richard

A customer recently asked whether we can “customise” a quote for a VPS and the essence of our reply is:

Custom Hosting requirements are our speciality (we have a rails app coming which will allow customers to self-provision there’s VPS, but that’s still months away for now) and we can vary any desired component of VPS/VDS hosting to suit your specific requirements and create that as a “VPS Plan” which you can signup for just like any of our conventional & publicly listed VPS Plans.

Please do feel free to let me know the basic components you’d like for your VPS & I can quickly quote from there.

eg:
WW amount of RAM
XX Disk space
YY # of CPUs
Data charged like ZZ
Windows SPLA Licensed or Linux & what flavour of OS
Managed or Unmanaged Admin of VPS
Located in Australia (Sydney or Canberra available now and Adelaide soon) or the US
etc..

Regards,
Richard.

Yearly Data Centre & POP Maintenance Notice

Posted on July 12, 2011 by richard

It’s been a year since I physically visited the “Lights Out Mode” data centre POP of Network Presence in Sydney and in that year we’ve grown the business and hosting capabilities many fold. But eventually such growth needs me to physically attend the POP to perform actions which are highly technical & specific to hardware and systems of Network Presence that I’m the best to perform.

Some of these things include software and hardware upgrades to give Network Presence a “leg up” in capacity, including memory, CPU & network upgrades. For example, I’ll be installing and commissioning the latest general purpose hosting platform for Network Presence in Sydney, as well as many other hardware and software upgrades.

Accordingly, we’ll be emailing all customers who may be affected by the short restarts etc that will occur during this Yearly Maintenance Window, which starts from ~11pm Sydney time on this coming Friday evening (July 15th 2011). Each customer is not expected to see longer than a single 5-15 minute outage of their VPS or other service from Network Presence and I’ll be contactable by phone & online during and after these works incase there’s any issues that arise.
