WebFusion, a United Kingdom based web hosting company, announced in a press release, their recent re-design of their virtual servers as well as the choice to lower prices. How often do you hear of a webhost announcing they have re-vamped their systems? My host will barely acknowledge the fact they have major issues, much less the fact their systems need a major overhaul. I was hoping I could find information regarding hosting options for those of us across the ocean, but I cannot find any information. However, if you do live in the United Kingdom and you’re looking for a host-especially one who offers virtual private servers, take a look at the press release below.

Press Release:

WebFusion has given its virtual private server (VPS) range a complete revamp, providing industry-leading value for money and a raft of new features to maximise website performance.

The new WebFusion VPSs have unlimited traffic with guaranteed and burstable RAM to ensure that websites perform, even when handling sudden traffic peaks. The latest version of the Plesk control panel, combined with the Virtuozzo control panel at the back end, provides webmasters with root access for complete control. Linux-based VPSs are Ruby and Ruby-on-Rails ready and run on Ubuntu 6.06, while Windows servers are equipped with SQL Server 2005 and ASP.net 2.0.

With prices from £14.99 per month, WebFusion VPSs are available on Linux and Windows, and are perfect for both webmasters of business critical websites and the reseller community.

“Our new range of virtual private servers is our best yet,” says Mark Beyer, sales and marketing director at WebFusion. “Server enhancements, such as guaranteed and burstable RAM, mean that our VPSs are a step closer to providing dedicated server performance, with a price normally associated with shared hosting. We believe these advancements make our VPS offering the best in class.”

Additional benefits of WebFusion VPS include:
• Lower prices, with servers available from £14.99 per month
• Better hardware: Dell PowerEdge 2950 Energy Smart
• New contention ratio for servers to reduce the effect of ‘noisy neighbours’ on the server
• Ruby preinstalled on Linux VPS and Ruby-on-Rails available via a single click in Plesk
• Extra disk space available
• SCSI RAID 10 for reliability and business continuity
• Plesk 8.1 installed as standard (worth £200)
• Root access available via Virtuozzo
