Virtual Swarm - VPS Questions
How does the Swarm VPS discount work?
Well it's simple really - we want you to share in any success we have. It's like an escalator ... you get on the ground floor and each floor you pass on the way up represents a bigger discount for you. The earlier you get on, the further you get - the more discounts you receive.
So let's say you're our 104th partner, as more people come in behind you, you get a bigger discount. When more and more people come in, you will start to get as big discount as say the guy who got here first. You might even get your virtual server for FREE! Hell - we want our members to grow - who doesn't? ;)
Am I too late? What discount will I get?
Do not worry!! - our system rewards everyone, it just depends on how well our customer base is growing. The more customers we get, the higher the larger discount you and your swarm get!
Hang on a second, this sounds fishy!
It's not - we promise you. Our goal with virtual servers.com is to be successful. The more customers we get, the more profit we make, the more we share with our loyal partners .
A large part of the modern 'hosting' advertising model is based around paid advertising and frankly, we would prefer to avoid that as much as possible(no offense Google ;). What we DO want is for our community of partners to help us, after all the less we spend on advertising the more saving we can pass onto you guys.
One thing we have noticed is that our members like to talk, so we thought, why not reward this? We like to think our service is so good; people will talk about us. The more people talk about us, the more people on the web see those conversations, the more new users we get.
No, no and no, we are not dictating anything, nor do we insist you do anything, we won't track what you do, or even if you do it, the only thing we will look at is the amount of new customers we get. The more we get, the more you save.
The only thing we ask is that if you like your service, tell people about it. If you don't like your service - talk to us about it, Twitter about it, comment on our Forums. We want to be more transparent and responsive than any service provider you have worked with. We are truly committed to this.
Well, that's the good thing about the internet, there are lots of places to meet and chat to other likeminded individuals. From Blogs to Twitter to email - we know good news is harder to sell than bad news, but we have confidence in our products and support.
We are a likeable bunch, we really are. Got any problems, we are happy to help.
So, are your servers any good?
Very - we have years experience of offering VirtualServers to end users for everything from website hosting, to application testing. Our systems offers a resilience that is above all - excellent. You may notice we are one of the few providers offering a service level agreement. Actually, I think we might be the only ones we know that actually LEAD on our service level agreement.
Our equipment is Dell based and very fancy. We choose to use branded hardware because the equipment is the very foundation for our service - if that stinks, we stink.
We use only XEON processors for our VPS - we use the best SAN storage devices known to man and we own and run the highest quality, most resilient data centers. The staff really rock too, you'll see when you get to know us.
We need your service and hosting to work - again, if we stink at that - we may as well give up now.
We are a team of young(ish) professionals who have worked in hosting, media, development and support for the last 10 years.
We are funded by a large hosting company with all the data centers and connectivity you will ever need. But we have our own way of doing things - a way we think is open, honest and good for our partners
We like the internet, we know the internet - its strengths and its weaknesses - we aim to harness the community aspect of the internet and get it to work for us, for our customers, and for our products.
