Title: 2012-12-05 pr.com - GigaTux Accepts Bitcoins on Its Hosting Platform Post by: Akka on December 05, 2012, 08:50:21 AM Not really Press about Bitcoin, but it's a press release after all.
Quote from: http://www.pr.com GigaTux Accepts Bitcoins on Its Hosting Platform GigaTux is proud to accept Bitcoins on for any of its hosting products, including VPS and web hosting packages. London, United Kingdom, December 05, 2012 --(PR.com)-- GigaTux understands that transacting with some countries can be difficult using the regular currency channels, and also that some people would like to retain some degree of anonyminity, so Bitcoin is now accepted directly with no additional charges. The daily Bitcoin exchange rate is used for all purchases based on the price for GigaTux services and payment is usually registered within one minute. Bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency and the most widely used alternate currency in the world. Bitcoins are not tied to any exchange rate and are exchanged between users on a peer-to-peer network which regulates Bitcoins' balances, transactions and issuance according to consensus in network software. Although not officially recognised by many organisations, Bitcoin is a fascinating experiement on global money transfer and GigaTux is proud to participate in this economy. Payments can be made for services running on GigaTux's Linux hosting servers in the UK (London), USA (San Jose and Chicago) and Germany (Frankfurt). All servers run on Xen with hard disks in a RAID-10 configuration and two Intel Xeon CPUs each.

I've been bitten by the Bitcoin bug and there have been many times we've had to turn away clients because the standard monetary system has failed between their country and the UK. So, because of this and because it's a hugely interesting concept, I'm proud that GigaTux is accepting Bitcoins.

Well, I hope MediaTemple gets with the Bitcoin program or they might lose my business which is hundreds of dollars per month for VPS, C-Panel, Plesk, etc. The bandwidth seems a little low but useable. I really like your storage plans. Would switch right now if it were not such a huge pain moving so many domains. You could probably crush it with an affiliate program that pays in BTC.
