Modular pricing structure

If you need a quote, or have any questions, feel free to email accounts@pepperfish.net. If you'd rather a package deal, they can be found in the normal services section.

Our charging structure is very modular, so that you only pay for what you want. We also have a soft-limits policy, so if you ever go over-quota on your web space, home directory space, or mail space, we'll tap you on the shoulder to give you a chance to tidy up.

Notes and other important information

All services (where appropriate) include a login account on the pepperfish systems via SSH to allow you to administor your files, sites and daemons.
Minimum cost for any customer is £10.00 per year in order that the administrative costs of collecting payment are offset. This means that at minimum a customer will have around 20MB of allocated and backed up space (unless they are paying for other services)
We currently do not charge customers based on bandwidth. However, we do need to consider that people who use a substantial amount more than others will be charged. We won't just charge you without talking to you first, but be aware that substantial bandwidth usage will cost us money.
We are a bunch of full-time employed people who can't always be at the beck and call of the Pepperfish systems. Unfortunately this means that on average we will be unable to respond to a hardware failure any more quickly than 24 hours from failure, since we need to get the hardware down to Telehouse (who need written confirmation that we are turning up) and then we need to get the machine, fix it, and bring it back from backups. Fortunately, our systems have proven to be very reliable!
