Whats New?

2010.07.15 NAS.COM wholesale VPS and WebHosting services

This fall, OpenAccess will be re-purposing the 'nas.com' domain name to provide VPS and WebHosting services, primarily wholesale to web developers. If you have an e-mail address @nas.com, or a personal website located at http://www.nas.com/~yourusername, those services will continue be supported although we will not be accepting new accounts.

Please do keep in mind that support for those services is via OpenAccess, and not nas.com, and once the new nas.com website is up and running, the contact information for sales, support and other items will not be accurate for support on your e-mail.

As part of this process, we will also be migrating the www.nas.com/~yourusername websites to newer hardware and possibly also modernizing the mail system that provides services for e-mail addresses @nas.com. We will be in touch with customers in advance before we begin this work.

Additional information can be found here.
