The 10TB Gimmick

A bunch of hosting companies are offering this deal which seems like it's a good deal WOW 10TB of transfer. But if you look at the real specs - 10Mbps port uplink port probably set to half duplex as well. In reality you'll never hit 10TB let alone 1.5TB of transfer. Don't be fooled!! Get super fast 100Mbps FULL DUPLEX port at Krypt.com. Learn More About Our Network!
The calculation is as follows:
1000000bps * 86400 seconds per day * 30 days = 25920000000000 bits
25920000000000 bits / 8 bits per byte = 3240,000,000,000 bytes
3240,000,000,000 bytes = 3240GB = 3.24TB of transfer on a line that would have to be full duplex saturated 24/7. 10Mbps is ancient technology I bet those providers still run Hubs as well. Our 10Mbps dedicated bandwidth plan is still a 100Mbps port and is capable of pushing that.

New LAX7 Datacenter Online!

WOW... what a week... that pretty much sums up the few weeks here at VPLS. After our Holiday Party on 12/13 we turned up a brand new datacenter in less than 5 days from building the racks, cage, adding power, networking gear and servers, lots and lots of servers were added. Our vendors couldn't keep up with our server order demand so our crew was tasked to build well over 200 machines in less than a week on top of the 100 or so from our vendors. To date our new datacenter already has 280+ machines that are sold with a few remaining or waiting to be sold. Our team is adding more and more servers each week and our new datacenter will be able to host well over 5000 servers in the future. We're very excited for the growth potential of this new place and look forward to growing well beyond our goal!

New datacenter pictures will be added soon!

New Atoms Added

We've been constantly sold out recently of all products lines and had to increase our datacenter footprints and inventory. We've been adding a full rack of servers every few days! We apologize for any delays in orders as certain packages are not always in stock but check our website for inventory status and Resellers can use the Reseller Control Panel.
