VPS.NET becomes one of the industry's fastest growing cloud hosting web service providers and adds new DDoS protection technology

LONDON, March 9, 2010 - The UK2 Group, www.uk2group.com, a global leader of web hosting
solutions today announced that after one year of offering a next generation
model of VPS cloud hosting, it has garnered thousands of new deployments and
clients and added new technological improvements unique to VPS.NET,
www.vps.net.

In celebration of its first anniversary, VPS.NET is offering a free
upgrade from 256MB to 375MB of RAM and 400 MHz to 600 MHz per node on all new
deployments. This free upgrade is also extended as the new standard for
existing customers and will provide greater speed and power to customers at
an exceptional price.

VPS.NET has a unique niche in the web hosting market by offering a cloud
hosting model that enables customers to quickly build, test and deploy
websites in the cloud within minutes. Unlike dedicated servers, VPS.NET's
solution offers limitless resources and instant scalability. The VPS.NET
Custom Built solution includes technologies found on Intrusion Detection
Systems (IDS), Firewalls, Network Behavior Analysis, Network Perimeter
Security, DDoS protection and traffic monitoring software. Through a cloud
hosting model, VPS.NET has been able to leverage more resources out of the
cloud thereby providing greater resources, cost effectively, to customers.
This model ensures continuous and uninterrupted uptime even during heavy load
spikes as well as self-healing, automatic failover and redundant gigabit
network connectivity.

Customers can deploy a cloud server in less than a minute and are able to
cost effectively add or remove nodes on a daily basis as needed for as little
as US$1.00 per day. This allows customers to pay only for what they need and
to avoid costly long-term contracts. VPS.NET's flexible model allows for
upgrading and downgrading or complete cancellation at any time. VPS.NET also
offers monthly discounting for as low as US$13.00 per month, per node.

"VPS.NET is deploying thousands of new virtual machines each month which
is an amazing achievement in our first year and demonstrates the demand and
power of a cloud hosting model for our customers," said Ditlev Bredahl, chief
executive officer, UK2 Group, the parent company of VPS.NET. "Our customers
value the ability of our solution to grow with their needs without locking
into a specific platform, unlike some of our competitors," said Bredahl.

"I'm now moving 2-3 of the remaining sites a week off my shared plan and
onto my spiffy new cloud [VPS.NET]," said Greg Rickaby, senior web developer
and owner of GRd Design. "Every time I move one, I can't help but grin
because I know my clients will notice the difference in speed too," said
Rickaby.
