We are now offering an industrial-grade 8GB SLC solid state disk drive (internal SATA) option for our dedicated servers. Due to reliability issues with USB flash and the difficulty in obtaining a suitable long-term supply of them, we are discontinuing the “Internal 4GB USB Flash” options. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Dedicated Server Updates, Price Reductions
We’re making a few updates to the Roller Network dedicated server lineup: The Pentium G6950 with 4GB of RAM ($109) will no longer be available. The Intel Core i3-540 with 8GB of RAM will now be available for $121 (old price $149). Prices on the Xeon X3440, Opteron 6134, and Opteron 6174 options are being [...]

Gigabit Ethernet, More RAM for Dedicated Servers
Over the next month or two we will be migrating our network to pure gigabit Ethernet. All servers – even the smallest Atom dedicated server – will be given gigabit uplinks. Because this change involves moving the cross connects on our side, we will be contacting all dedicated server and colocation customers individually to arrange [...]
