    @Taylor said: Mix up the offer each month :P

    Ha! This is actually the only useful offer we can do under $7, but we've added free anycast DNS and free CDN this month as well to spice it up :)

    Additional storage is available at £1.75/GB

    Pretty nice results if you're need something fast in EU. Decent UB score for 1 core too.

    I thought you wanted to get out of this business and sold out to Othello tech?

  • jhjh Member
    edited August 2012

    The acquisition of UKCloud by Othellotech was due to problems that company had that needed serious muscle to sort out.

    Now having a stable job and stable income through consultancy I decided to sell a little hosting on the side via VirtIO.
