Double RAM again!
We’ve doubled the amount of RAM our SmartVPS customers now receive. So for just $9.95 you’ll get a managed VPS that can AutoScale, tunes itself, and come with 2GB’s RAM and 40Gb’s of disk space. You can host a lot of sites or handle a lot of traffic with these bad-boys!
Letsencrypt, Free, Automated SSL certificates for life!
Letsencrypt automated SSL – No click SSL!
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve fully automated our LetsEncrypt SSL installation process for all of our Managed VPS customers.
What does this mean? This means that every Brownrice Managed VPS customer receives UNLIMITED FREE SSL certificates for every web site on any Managed Brownrice VPS. Forever!
And the other great thing about this is that our SSL process is 100% seamless and 100% automated. How seamless and automated you ask?
- Sign up for a Brownrice Managed SmartVPS ($9.95 w/ 1GB RAM & 40GB disk)
- Login to responsive, fantastic dashboard and set up new web site by clicking a few buttons.
- Point DNS to your new web site (i.e. make it live!) by clicking a couple more buttons.
- Wait 1 hour.
- Done. (SSL certificate issued and site secured without email verification.)
Repeat above steps 2 through 3 for as many sites and subdomains as you like. Zero additional charges.
No hands SSL!
By the way this SSL certificate will be renewed every three months, automatically, without you touching a thing.
Want to start? Sign up here and we’ll have your VPS up and running in minutes!
