Easyspace Launches New Pic ‘N’ Mix Website Hosting Service

July 16, 2008

Easyspace, one of the largest web hosting and domain name providers in the UK, has this week launched a unique customisable web hosting service for home and business users.

As a leading provider of web hosting packages, already offering a number of pre-built shared hosting packages, the company has taken this innovative step as it seeks to further simplify the web hosting purchase process for customers.

The Pic ‘n’ Mix package lets customers customise their hosting solution to better match their requirements at the slide of a selection bar, by allowing them to choose the settings of five key components – disk space, bandwidth, mailboxes, operating system and payment plan.

Costs for the Pic ‘n’ Mix package range from as little as £1.25 to £30 per month depending on the choices the customer makes.

Customers can choose:

  • between five and 200 mailboxes;
  • between one and 20GB of disk space;
  • between three and 50GB of bandwidth;
  • Linux or Windows-based systems;
  • monthly or yearly payment plans

Errol Vanderhorst, sales and marketing director for Easyspace, said: ”Customers no longer need to buy an all singing, all dancing, pre-built package if all they require is a lot of disk space, for example.

“With Pic ‘n’ Mix, the customer chooses the specification. We take care of the rest.”

The Pic ‘n’ Mix package will join other Easyspace offerings such as the popular StarterPlus (for beginners, personal and home users) and Business packages.

Errol Vanderhorst added: ”Individuals’ requirements and reasons for purchasing web hosting don’t fit neatly into a select few categories, so it makes sense that web hosting itself becomes more flexible to offer maximum benefit to the end user.

“Our Pic ‘n’ Mix technology allows customers to determine the specification and cost of their own package, meaning if they simply want more bandwidth or more disk space, they can have it at the slide of a selection bar without the need to buy a more expensive package which includes additional features that they simply won’t use.”

All Pic ‘n’ Mix packages still come with a range of default features including a free domain name, daily backups, webmail access, database options, firewall protection, password protection, web stats, free email marketing credits, free Pay Per Click search credits and an extensive and effective customer support service.

New Virtual Server Package add-ons launched by Easyspace

June 30, 2008

Easyspace, one of the leading suppliers of Virtual Servers in the UK, has this week launched enhanced add-on features for its Virtual Private Server products.

Having recently launched a Windows Virtual Server range to compliment its existing Linux VPS range, followed by the release of Remote Desktop Protocol service allowing access via Terminal Services, Easyspace has now launched a Burstable RAM service on its Linux Packages and an Automated Backup services for both Windows and Linux based servers.

Burstable RAM will allow customers to take advantage of additional RAM resources, particularly handy when installing additional applications or running large scripts, while the Automated Backup service will allow you to roll back to any version of your server from the previous 7 days.

Both add-on services are available to new and existing customers at low monthly cost and both services come with monthly or annual payment options.

“Easyspace are already one of the leading providers of Virtual Private Servers in the UK, but we realise that to keep competitive in the market we have to continually improve our offering.” commented Errol Vanderhorst, Sales and Marketing Director for Easyspace.

“I think we’ve shown in recent months with the launch of Windows VPS and RDP, and now the launch of the Burstable RAM and Automated Backup add-on services, that we are responding to the requirements of the market, and we will continue to do so.”

Easyspace Virtual Servers are available in two packages, Standard or Premium, and both can be Windows or Linux based.

Windows Virtual Servers now available from Easyspace

May 13, 2008

Easyspace, one of the largest Virtual Server providers in the UK, is now offering Windows based Virtual Private Servers to sit alongside its existing Linux based VPS products.


In line with the existing Linux packages, Windows Virtual Servers are being sold as Standard and Premium packages, costing £11.95 per month and £22.95 per month respectively. Additionally, like the existing Linux offering, Windows servers are available with Dual Xeon Processors, up to 512MB dedicated Ram and up to 40GB HD.


Easyspace had become one of the leading suppliers of Virtual Private Servers in the UK before offering a Windows alternative, and already a large demand for the Windows option has been realised. With competitive pricing and ever improving technical specifications, Easyspace are confident they can remain one of the leading providers of high performance, low cost, virtual server products.


“Our VPS products are tailored to customer requirements and demand, not just on price, but also on spec. This focus appears to be working with the company seeing a continual increase in the numbers of Virtual Servers being sold” said Errol Vanderhorst, Sales and Marketing Director at Easyspace.


“The launch of a Windows option only seems to have increased the interest in our Virtual Server range, and we’ll continue to make sure it is developed as a product, like the Linux alternative, based on what our customers are looking for.”


The launch of a Windows Virtual Server option means that all server solutions offered by Easyspace (shared hosting, Virtual Servers and Dedicated Servers) are available with either Windows or Linux setups.

40% off .biz domains with Easyspace

May 8, 2008

Easyspace today announced the launch of its May 2008 special offer, just one of a number of special offers to be rolled out in the coming months.

Until 31st May, all people buying a domain name with Easyspace will be able to purchase any number of .biz domain names for just £7.50 each for one year – a saving of 40% on the standard sale price of the domain!

The offer lasts only until 31st May and is open to both new and existing customers.

This latest offer comes off the back of a number of product improvements at Easyspace, not least the reduction in price of it’s Virtual Server range, but also the introduction of virtual servers and the introduction of improved specification Dedicated Servers.

Of the latest domain related offer, Errol Vanderhorst (Sales and Marketing Director) said “While we realise that .coms and .co.uks are the most popular extensions for domain owners in the UK, we feel giving a significant discount on some of the other Top Level Domains opens up an alternative option if customers preferred .com or .co.uk is already registered.”

“We’ve also recently added new mailbox and forwarding features to all domain registrations, meaning alternative domains through Easyspace are now a fantastic option.”

Easyspace domains come with the usual admin features, including MX Control, Name Server Control and web redirection. Customers can also take advantage of £100 Pay Per Click Vouchers with each domain name. Visit Easyspace to find out more.
