- One Year Anniversary
- SilverRack is pleased to announce that we've just passed our 1 Year Anniversary! It's been a great year - we couldn't have asked for anything more. We've got lots in the works for the next year, two of the biggies are:
- Credit Card Payments - soon we'll ditch PayPal and switch over to credit card billing. This will give us and you much more flexibility in our billing. (08/24 - Credit Card Billing Now Live)
- API - we've slowly but surely been working on our API. The API will allow you to manage your VPSs and DNS records from your own applications.
We'd like to give a big thanks out to all of our customers, past and present, that have helped us become a great VPS provider. To show our appreciation, and to keep the momentum building through the next year, we've added a discount code, "1year" that will take $10 off the monthly price of any of our VPS plans. The discount applies each month for as long as you own the VPS. This means you can get a great 512mb VPS for only $30 per month! The offer is good for new customers and any existing customers that wish to upgrade their VPSs.
Thanks again, and here's to another great year!

- Survive Digg
- A customer, John Anderson, emailed this the other day:
"Hey, Just thought I'd say thanks for the great hosting. My blog has been on the front page of Digg twice now and SilverRack has handled it perfectly both times. And this is without me implementing any proper cacheing :P"
John - awesome job getting on the front page of Digg (first article and second article)! And Thank You for the kind words. We're extremely pleased that SilverRack's hosting was up to the job. - Posted July 07, 2008 08:48 by dave

- Updated Rails Templates to Rails 2.1
We just finished updating the Centos and Debian w/Rails templates to include the newly released Ruby on Rails 2.1.
If you're not familiar with our custom VPS templates, here's the short: we love Ruby and Ruby on Rails so we've pre-installed Ruby and Ruby on Rails on select VPS templates. Some nice-to-have gems are installed as well - mongrel, mysql, and rmagick. We haven't configured anything - just got you jump-started on installing your Rails stack.
