New Reseller Panel Added to Vault
We have added a new Reseller Inventory Panel to our Vault control center. The Reseller Inventory list allows all our Resellers to view our entire server stock as well as any Rapid Deployment servers. Rapid Deployment servers are already pre-configured servers that are ready to go within 30 minutes! Resellers can simply order these by the server name based on their desired specification!
New Crystal Package Xeon X5472
Our HiDefServers.com line has been updated with the new Xeon X5472 processor. Head over to http://www.hidefservers.com/crystal_package.php to check it out. Use Coupon code "CRYSTAL30" to receive 30% off each month!! Limited time offer while supplies last!
New X5472 Packages
We received another shipment of a new Xeon X5472 package that we will be offering for both Krypt.com and HiDefServers.com (Crystal Package). The X series Xeon CPU from Intel is unique in that the processor can be overclocked because the CPU multiplier is unlocked but you pay a small price of added heat output. We won't be overclocking any CPU's though to preserve longevity of the processor =)

Vault Mobile BETA Released Today!
Hey All!
We've been working hard getting Vault Mobi ready for launch, and today we are happy to announce the release of the BETA version! The feature list is not very extensive, but this is just the beta! I will go more into detail about what we are cooking up for Vault Mobile in a little bit, but let me start off by listing the features what you can do.
http://mobi.krypt.com (This URL can only be accessed by a mobile phone) . You can view screen shots of the portal below.
BETA Feature List:
- View currently active Services/Devices.
- View/Submit tickets.
- Quickly reboot your VPS Servers.
- View your servers bandwidth usage
This is just to get a jump start on the framework of Vault Mobile and to let you all give it a try and see how you like it, what we can improve on it etc.
What we WANT to put into it:
- Power management for dedicated servers
- Viewing Monthly/Weekly/Daily bandwidth usage
- Viewing a complete ticket history just like you would in a normal browser
- Being able to manage your VPS' by viewing bandwidth & the ability to reload your OS back to when you first got it.
- Manage your billing and pay invoices/bills
- View your services and what is associated with each service.
These are just a few features we plan to implement in the next release of Vault Mobile.
Suggestions are welcome

Welcome To The Official VPLS.net Blog
Hey Everyone! Welcome to the new VPLS.net blog! We’ll be updating this daily with the latest in new hardware, tours of our datacenters and offices, tips and tricks to managing your server, and much much more! We’re very excited to start interacting more with our customers and sharing everything we know with them to make their experience with Krypt more comfortable and relaxing.
To start off, I think I will go ahead and introduce myself a little bit just so you know who you’re talking to here. My name is Chris Geiger and I am a software developer at VPLS Inc. I develop our internal systems for managing the thousands of servers we have in our datacenters. Many of my projects involve creating graphing tools and many other tools to help improve productivity for the employees here at VPLS. I started here at VPLS in 2007 and have watched an amazing company grow from a mom and pop company into a huge enterprise. When I first started we were only at a few hundred servers with one datacenter. Two years later and we’ve hit the multiple thousand mark with 4 datacenters!
I hope you all stay tuned into our blog for lots of updates about our datacenters, hardware, and special coupon codes!
In my next blog post I will give you a tour of our Orange office!
