VPS.NET's VPS system lets customers buy a number of nodes, each providing 256MB RAM, 10GB SAN storage, 200MHz dedicated CPU and 200GB bandwidth per month.
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- The UK2 Group (www.uk2group.com) has launched a beta trial of VPS.NET (www.vps.net), a redundant cloud system designed to simplify the process of virtual private server cloud hosting, as well as making it available and affordable to customers of all sizes.
Having launched at the beginning of the week, according to UK2 Group's announcement, VPS.NET offers immediate scalability with pre-made stacks, a simple billing process and a user friendly management portal. It is built on a RAID 10 storage area network backend and node-based VPS architecture.
"VPS.NET has been such an exciting project for the UK2 Group, and will be a valuable addition to many of our brands as the ideal solution between shared and dedicated hosting" UK2 Group chief executive officer Ditlev Bredahl said in a statement. "With its attractive monthly pricing and no need for a long term commitment, we believe VPS.NET will be extremely appealing, making VPS.NET the VPS Cloud for the masses!"

In beta, VPS.NET's VPS cloud offers trialists the chance to experience and test the self healing, high availability and instant upgrade/downgrade features, and also test end to end provisioning and usability.
Although all the trial spots are currently taken, VPS.NET said it will soon be opening their doors to a wider beta trial (vps.net/beta2), which is accepting waiting list applicants.
VPS.NET is scheduled for a full launch across the UK2 Group by March.
VPS.NET is a recent addition to the UK2 Group, which provides domain name registration and web hosting services to many global customers through a large family of hosting brands including UK2.net, midPhase, WestHost, 10TB.com, AN Hosting, Autica, Resell.biz, US2.net, WingSix, Supreme Support, Dotable and VI.net.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
