  • Special Offer: Upgrade your RimuHosting VPS to a VPS on a dedicated server?

    Updating this list as part of our commitment to offering great server deals, current as of 28th August 2011. We have some older but still powerful machines available. Rather than let them gather dust, we thought we would offer them to customers who are currently have a VPS on a shared host. And would like…

  • 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’). Intel has been pushing performance via efficiency (e.g. multiple cores) not brute Ghz.  But that has always hampered ‘straight-line’ performance.…

  • $50 hosting credit for server migration

    I’d like to offer a USD 50 hosting credit to anyone ordering a new server with us where that server is currently hosted elsewhere. Get started now, order a fast VPS with a ton of memory at a pretty decent price using our Launchtime ordering system. Why order a server with RimuHosting?  We’re run by…

  • Migrating VPS with virtualmin – Multiple DNS changes

    We have had a customer move from one host to a new one with Virtualmin, this is usually ok, except in this case he had DNS hosted on his own VPS, most of it pointing to his old IP address. The task was to update all DNS records on his VPS without manually clicking each…

  • Previewing 25mail.st: managed email hosting service

  • Improved VPS reboot/powercycles

    Customers have been able to restart their VPSs (or powercycle them) from the RimuHosting control panel.  We have updated and ajaxified the reboot functionality to provide better feedback on the process and improve the user experience.  Check it out the next time you need a VPS restart.

  • Run your own VPS backups

    We have just added a VPS snapshot/backup page to the RimuHosting control panel. By default for each VPS we run a weekly backup.  This creates a snapshot of your VPS disk image.  Which you can then restore to (e.g. to revert to an earlier time) or mount along with your current file system (e.g. to…

  • Data transfer reporting page (new RimuHosting control panel feature)

    We have added a new data transfer reporting page.  It show data transfer usage for each server for the last 50-odd days.  With a summary for this and last month. At the moment this page only shows useful information for your Dallas-based VPS and dedicated servers.  Our networking setup in Dallas permits us to watch…

  • Introducing Launchtime tailored pricing plans

    RimuHosting is proud to introduce the Launchtime tailored pricing algorithm.  This algorithm is an alternative to ‘fixed’ pricing plans.  And it will be a key tool for us to provide more affordable, fairer and more flexible pricing. Traditional hosting ‘fixed’ pricing plans offer a set of plans to choose from.  Sometimes (but not always) with…

  • London special, two months free hosting!

    ** Update: this offer is officially closed. If you are looking for cheap dedicated server options ask us about our Dallas based Core2Duo plans. We recently had a few unusual servers released to us. These powerful chassis are in an interesting fixed configuration, with 2xDual quad core E5410 Xeon CPUs, 24G RAM, and with 2x750G…
