Brightbox Pricing 10 Aug 07
Over the last few weeks we’ve been putting more thought to the pricing structure for Brightbox and have settled on the following provisional price matrix, which we think offers great value for what’s included:

Each Brightbox includes
- Customised Ubuntu 6.06 OS preinstalled

- UK IP address
- Root access
- Mirrored MySQL db cluster
- Mirrored RAID disk storage
- Juniper Networks firewalling
- Free Gigabit traffic between additional Brightboxes
- Fully redundant public network
- UPS and Generator power
Optional extras/upgrades
- Additional bandwidth/data = £5 per 5GB/month
- Additional storage = £10 per 5GB/month
- Custom firewall rules = £10 per month
- Extra IP address (e.g for SSL) = £25 setup
