As some of you might know from Ditlev’s post in the forums, we are working on a CDN offering, but being we are firm believers in eating your own dog food, we are now using parts of VPS.NET on the CDN.
The way the CDN works is, the content being pulled via the CDN is cached on 16 pop’s around the world, new content is cached on the CDN the first time is accessed by a technology called “Origin Pull” (so you dont even need to upload your file), the content is delivered to you via the closest pop to your location, greatly improving speed.
We believe this is a killer combo, host the site on the Cloud and the static content on the CDN We are serving Images, JS/jQuery and some other scripts for the CDN at the moment 
Here is a map of the current CDN pop’s

Check out what we are building with the VPS.NET API
This is utilizing the Tera CP (from our sister company, 10TB.com), but we have plans to deploy a reseller portal utilizing a brand-able Tera CP so resellers can give this level of access to their client without the need to create a CP of their own

We have experienced a better than expected growth at VPS.NET, this means we are able to pay off our initial investment quicker, therefore achieving a higher ROI, but we know our customers are the key to this success, so instead of just keeping it all to ourselves, we passing the savings to you !.
Be advised, certain CFO’s and financial personnel “might” have been hurt in the making of this deal.
Existing customers need not to worry, your next invoice will show the new pricing as follows:

We are happy to announce that VPS.NET users can now instantly obtain public and private ip’s from within their control panel
Public IP’s are charged at $1 USD / £1 GBP per month
Private IP’s are free (limit 2 per node)
How do I get an ip ?
On your VPS.NET CP main page you will now notice this new option “Get additional ip addresses”
Inside there you will find your IP Pool manager, with the ability to add or remove ip’s, we are adding a top table identifying each of those elements, but you basically get your IP Address, Netmask and Gateway .. it’s then your responsibility then to add the IP to your VPS of choice.
Enjoy
