Is it going to be available anytime soon?The plan is to bake management into all 256MB+ plans. Prices wouldn't go up, we'd simply add 24/7 management.
We're planning to introduce 2 more plans as well, that have cPanel included in the price.
Plan #1
- 2GB RAM, 2GB Burst
- OpenVZ based
- 150GB SSD Storage
- 10TB transit
- X amount of IP's included
- cPanel included
- Nightly backups
- 24/7 management
- $30/month
Plan #2
- 2GB RAM, 2GB Burst
- OpenVZ based
- 100GB SSD Storage
- 5TB transit
- X amount of IP's included
- cPanel included
- Nightly backups
- 24/7 management
- ~$22/month
We're still fiddling with the details of it all (infact I haven't even sat down with Aldryic to discuss
the above numbers/etc), but it's well on its way.
I should make a 'lynx' edition of the site that just loads out as a 80 column wide ASCII site.

BuyVM - New website design?

Is it going to be available anytime soon?
Another page sketch went up, this time for DDOS protection:

I think it looks pretty good
I'm unsure of the mid page table. It could work but I think
we should make replace it with a small paragraph explain our autonull.

BuyVM?
We built our own backups platform. Backups are done nightly and there's also snapshots if you want to take one yourself.

It's a reasonable cost, considering our penchant for automating repetitive tasks. When we first started offering mitigation, the end goal was just improving our service - and like most of our other ideas it turned into a trendy thing for providers to offer Kinda why we don't talk much about what goes on behind the scenes any more.

I agree with this. I'd pay a bit more for such all said.
Interested in seeing new features in Stallion as value add on the filtering.
I got some drafted out but haven't coded much more on it
One of them is pretty sweet if Ican integrate it nicely.
The biggest issue with complex features is that you have to figure out how best to handle
the UI. I've gotten a lot better at UI since Stallion 2's roll out but still.

Ugh, I hate design work - my stick figures can make people cry. I was ecstatic when Fran first told me we were getting sites designed for us.
Outstanding designs, granted I expected to see more pony I don't blame you for having it designed, designing your own site is always more difficult than designing a client's website.

I did the current BuyVM site when we first started. We had no idea how well the company would originally do since it was more of a market test bed than anything else.Outstanding designs, granted I expected to see more pony
On that note, Korey did a fairly big overhaul of a lot of the pages. I think they look much better. The homepage originally didn't feel quite right (probably due to a font or two), but the changes look excellent now:

I like the choice of colors, smooth and simple.
Black and green remind me with Green Lantern.opcorn:

Good point! I like GL but that wasn't why we went with those colours. When we did the original BuyVM siteI like the choice of colors, smooth and simple.
Black and green remind me with Green Lantern.
the plan was to make it look like a nerdy terminal. In the end the only part we really kept was the green
and went a completely different way with the site.
Hah, I might do it as a joke thing for april fools next year, we'll see how busy I get. I got a lot of things on my plate for stallion.When do we get to see a preview of this edition?

Would you add the pony logo in the new design later?
I think it should need the colour, too.
Could it be silver?
