What do you do?
We rent servers and storage.
What is a server cloud?
A server provider with these features:
- + Hourly Billing
- + Automated Provisioning
- + API
- + Disk Imaging
What is a virtual instance on a shared server?
All of the other server clouds use virtualization. They use a Hypervisor that allows them to run operating systems inside an operating system. They use this to create many virtual private servers (VPS) on the same physical server and sell those to different customers. This introduces overhead that significantly affects network and disk operations. The technology is far from perfect introduces additional security risks. Users on a shared server can affect one another’s performance.
Do you have something against Virtualization?
We have nothing against virtualization. We do have something against sharing. You don’t share your personal computer so why would share the one that runs your business critical applications. Instead of selling ambiguously defined and potentially dynamic slices of servers we sell absolute whole units and grant access down to the bare metal. You’re free to use virtualization if you wish; we even have prebuilt VMware images in our catalog.

How do I get started?
Register here to create your account then retrieve your password from the registration email. Login here, enter your credit card information, and it will be charged $20 which will go into your NewServers account. You can then access the “add server” page to select a hardware configuration and operating system image. The IP address and password of your new servers are now available. When your account balance reaches $0, you will be charged 14 days of estimated usage. The 14 day billing process simply repeats after that. You may request any remaining account balanced be credited back at anytime. |
