  • Sandy Bridge servers in stock; get one quick

    Remember back a couple of years and Pentium 4 CPUs were nearly hitting 4Ghz?  Then along came the new Core 2 Duos and we were back to a mere 2Ghz (albeit with these new ‘cores’).

Traditional hosting ‘fixed’ pricing plans offer a set of plans to choose from.  Sometimes (but not always) with…
