Hello,

We have felt the need at this moment in time to open our paid services up. However we're only doing this know as our web template (in the making) is going to take to long to build up. So we have made the decision as a group to open our premium services up. What! You're allocating paid accounts on the same server as free accounts? Nope, we're not doing this, we have purchased a lovely dual core dedicated server which should be able to hold all that is needed to run our paid services.

Like our current server this premium service server is located in Texas, Houston. We have found a provider which is pretty reliable and able as a server provider. Altogether the servers will come to the total cost of: $324 /per month, this is of course including the costs of server addons (licenses). With this server we can give you even more reliability and stability that is unparralel, as this server will not be as used much, seeing as it's a paid web server for paying clients!

Special offers
Due to the opening of our paid services, we're offering a special offer to our free web hosted users. We're going to be selling paid accounts at cheap rates to our already; free hosted users. You think of the plan and we'll give it to you for a nice price.

Does this mean I'll lose my free account?
Vlexo.com will always provide free web hosting, unless circumstances arise where major changes happen throughout the Internet, for example if the costs of servers triple, we would no longer be able to provide free hosting, but only paid. However this is highly unlikely, so you'll be having a free account with us for a long time.

Our current plans on the website are not official plans, they're just 'muk' up plans which were used to fill that part of the website up. We will be offering a lot of space and bandwidth, however we will not oversell anything, which means we will not be offering 20TB of bandwidth and 200GB of webspace, like some of the competitors out there. We have chosen to split paid users from free users, seeing as paid users we have to take much more care of, seeing as they're paying.

We will not change in terms of us being a group, instead of a company, however considering to become an LLC. We will try to provide the best services we can. At the moment, we have not setup any paid accounts nor have we setup a sign up system from which you can register a paid web hosting account with us. However if you wish for a paid account, please either PM me or send an email to: webmaster@vlexo.com, and I will reply to you with the relevant information which I will need to create your account.

Want to run a small, medium and big sized website?
Vlexo's servers are reliable, robust and advanced. Our servers provide a gateway into hosting websites of business qaulities and also personal qaulities. We will always upgrade to the latest softwares and drives to better you the experience of being hosted with us. Our server specifications is as follows:  
  Server: Dual Core Pentium d 915 model
                                Bandwidth: 2000 GB
                                Space: 160GB
                                Memory: 1GB
Operating System: CENTOS Enterprise 4.4 i686
Control Panel: cPanel/WHM
  
With these specifications we can most certainly provide you with what you need... and more. As a web hosting group we thrive in providing web hosting.  We can also certainly provide you with enough resources to accomdate for either large, medium or small based websites. Just give us a drop by and ask as many presales questions as you like, our staff are ready to answer!

Terms of Service
Due to these events taking place, we are reforming our Terms of Service by having a seperate TOS, one for the free hosted users and of course one for the paid cleints of Vlexo.com. Due to this taking place, we're going to add it when we re-vamp our website, which is coming very soon.

If you're interested in our paid services, please reply to this thread and I will PM you.

In other words


Arm. Leg. and a head.
Lol, Just kidding.
It will probably be fairly cheap.

[James W]

Same here, I am interested in getting a paided paln after moving from my previous host

[Tim Ve]

What should be the perfect price for you all? (Post space, bandwidth + features)

[James W]

Perfect package for me would be a Medium size package with 750 MB storage 25 GB of bandwidth and maybe domain name included with a annual Subscription?

Price ?100 a year?

[Brad R]

well thats $200 USD which is a very pricy for only 750M and 25GB.

[James W]

Ah Didn't think about other currency:

So maybe $110 USD Eqivelant to about ?80-?90

You can of course go with them. But trust me, you wont be able to use all that webspace up and of course that much bandwidth. They'll have things in their TOS which will prohibit you from using such resources. Search for the term  "overselling". I mean I could offer that amount for that price, but I'm not going to oversell if you get what I mean.

I'll be offering good packages for a decent price.

Not friendly, not awesome, most definately indian.

I don't know anybody on this forum, and of couse they look at my sites. Every other hosting site I have had always look at my website and call me saying they would like to become partners or something. (I know it's exclusive because for two of my not so great sites weren't asked for it) and I am going yeah, yeah ! This just make some money. Then they go, can I get your age sir? I go, thirteen. They go, I 'm sorry sir....

I know, I am just saying, if you were offering something wayyy smaller for a higher price I would go for them anyways .

[Tim Ve]

You can do that. Our prices will reflect a good and stable host. Our services are not oversold, we don't have 4000 accounts per server, which is why we don't want our services oversold.
