Nice deal.

Can you tell me how much (if at all) do you charge for OS reinstallations).

Also @ ordering can I be sure that I will get the Xeon or it is blind luck?

At the moment i already have a server with them. This server is linux. I am twidling with the idea of getting another. But this one would be a windows server with helm installed. Im not to sure on the 500GB month transfer.

Is the £100 for aditional 3000gb transfer a one off or a monthly thing?

seems to be too much for me especially when your site is growing, you don't go consider billing on a per GB basis? what if the bandwidth overage is on 1GB? would you still charge £100? thanks...

At the moment we have a few Xeon's and mostly 2.8Ghz servers.

Server's can be ordered via www.PoundHost.com, this would be the only way to get hold of a server, we wont reserve any. The sooner you order the better chance of getting a Xeon, we only have a couple left and will very soon be starting on the 2.8Ghz servers.

Hello,

It is not possible to reserve a server, you would need to signup for a new server via the website.

Hello,

With this offer and pricing it is too complex for us to deduct VAT from orders, as such we would be charging VAT to all orders.

Just a quick note to say 'Thanks' to all who have ordered so far, we aim to have these orders setup by the end of today.

Please note demand on this offer has been much greater than expected. At the current rate this offer will end Thursday/Friday of this week, so be quick!

All Xeon servers have now been taken.
