Your post says 160Gb remote backup is included but the signup page says it's $25 extra, which is correct?

How many IP's?

Test IP also please.

5 IP's are included

Backup is bundled with the WHT package. Simply do not check the box when ordering. Sorry for the confusion.

We would deduct $18.00 per month for no cPanel.

We own everything from the routers to the switches to the servers, it all our equipment.

We also have a direct IP allocation from ARIN, these are not upstream provider IP's, we have full control of our netblock!

5 ip's per server
no add on cost for extra ip's, must show justifcation.

208.76.80.2 for ping test.

Just one step before signup...

I need a total of 2GB RAM :-)
May I get this (or a second) server in VA DCs for the same price?

I spoke to someone on their support chat earlier today and they said $100 one off fee for 1Gb or $10 per month for the extra 1Gb.
Still, probably good to have it confirmed.

So far it's a good experience, server up promptly, tech support is on the ball and all very friendly and helpful - if it stays this way it will be a great experience.

Hi Bill,

I see this package has ran out. Can you provide something similar in features and price? At this price what servers/packages can you offer? Thanks.
