You could get a whole server to yourself with plesk for $58.74 a month from 1and1.co.uk

How much space and bandwidth do we get on this server?

 

Is there any plan to let some of us use the space like was mentioned ages ago when we actually moved to our own dedicated server. It'll obviously be at a fee, which would go towards paying for the server.

Do 1and1 renew their Plesk licenses after the first year on behalf of the client?

With EuroVPS after the first year was up our 30 domain / unlimited POP3 Plesk license expired. Since then we've been running on a license for 1 domain and 2 POP3 accounts which is doable, but quite sucky.

The US Dollar does make that offer very nice. Current exchange rate would cost us £355 for a year, and it's all up to date installs, Plesk 8.3, PHP5, MySQL 5, etc. which saves me the trouble of upgrading them myself. If Pete can get the money back from EuroVPS that they've already taken, that might be a good thing to go for.

If we do choose to change, before we contact EuroVPS, give me a chance to get a backup made because I can see them being completely unhelpful and simply deleting our account and virtual server the minute we try and cancel.

Getting the money back shouldn't be a problem - if EuroVPS get arsey then I'll just talk directly to Barclaycard and ask them to cancel it.
Since there was no explicit authorisation of the payment, I'm guessing it shouldn't be a problem.

Done nothing yet though, and will wait for clear instructions before doing so.

Gah sorry i did the $ sign instead of the £ sign :(

 

£58.74 (server in Germany) or $100 for a us rootserver (server in the datacenter i work in the middle of the usa)

 

Ill ask about the plesk licensing at work. but im pretty sure that gets taken care of for you.

This last year (counting from 1st Jul 07) we've used a massive 28GB of bandwidth.

We should probably stick with EuroVPS if it's going to cost us £700 a year with 1and1! Can probably quite rightly kick up regarding the Plesk License as well, now we're committing to another 12 months.
