    Our Management addon is 15/mo and our Complete Management addon is 30/mo. All prices for the Managed service on our web site should be updated to 15/mo, however, it still says 10/mo in our old advertising posts. The managed for 10 and the managed for 15 are the same, the managed for 10 is old pricing.

    Is it possible to change datacenters from the US to the EU or vice versa at a later date? Do you charge VAT for the EU datacenter?

    Question question

    If I was a solarvps customer in the PAST, am I eligible for the RAM upgrade, and does this upgrade stay for the lifetime of the account?
    Also, what makes you think that some people might choose the 10% discount instead of the free upgrade if both are for as long as the account is active? Ram upgrade is definately best.

    RAM upgrade

    Is the RAM upgrade still good if I start on a monthly plan but then want to upgrade to yearly?

    Hello,
    The RAM upgrade is good for the life of the VPS. Regardless of what billing cycle you are on, your RAM upgrade will remain intact. The Free RAM promo is the only promo of the 3 that could be extended to billing cycles other than monthly.

    Thank you for your interest.

    Thanks, I figured that was the case but then I saw on your website "Discount Coupons cannot be used on 3, 6 or 12 month payment cycles" and it had me worried!

    Yes, under normal circumstances that would be the case, however, with the FREE RAM promo we will allow it.

    Thanks.

    Sorry we aren't adding any additional promotions at this time, however, thank you for the idea as we may use it for a future promotion. If you would like to purchase additional disk space for any of our VPS plans, please email sales@solarvps.com and we'd be happy to quote you a price.

    Thanks.

    Hello,
    This depends on many factors including Operating system, number of VEs, data center, etc.

    Typically we use a Dual Opteron 244 or 246 machine with SATA RAID array and 4GB-6GB of RAM. In some cases, if running fewer VEs per server, we may run a Dual Core CPU with the same RAM and disk setup.

    Thanks.

    Hello coldestsanta,
    This depends on so many factors but typically its anywhere from 15-35 VEs per hardware node.

    If you would like more in depth information, you can open a support ticket with our sales department sales@solarvps.com .

    Thanks!

    I'm sorry, I am not quite sure I understand your question. When you say transfer speed guarantee are you referring to whether the server runs at 10Mbit or 100Mbit? If so, all of our VPS servers are on 100Mbit connections.
