We have a new quoting tool available<\/a> for customers looking for a dedicated server<\/a> or colocation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new tool is a big improvement on our previous system which was really just an extension of our ordering system.<\/p>\n

The problem with this was that it didn’t really provide a method for providing and actual quote which our customers could take away and study, and at times it was often confusing. The other issue was that it didn’t allow us to make allowances for constantly changing hardware configurations.<\/p>\n

Our new quoting system changes all that. \u00a0It enables our customers to rapidly get a<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

quote for a new server from a range of options and to tailor the configuration to suit themselves. \u00a0What is provided at the end<\/p>\n

is a final cost, with \u00a0the option to mail a detailed no obligation PDF quote and contract that can be used to order if required.<\/p>\n

A range of Dell servers are available to quote, from the R210-II to the R710, with prices starting at just \u00a0\u00a3 89 per month.<\/p>\n

For customers looking to co-locate one of their own servers within our data-centre locations our co-location quote generator lets you tailor a quote based on your servers power consumption, rack footprint and bandwidth demands. \u00a0Again the quote can be emailed to yourself quickly.<\/p>\n

We hope you’ll agree that this is a big improvement on the previous system – give it a try<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
