Web Hosting News – United Kingdom - As the name Swarm suggests, the package concept uses the aggregated movement of customers through a 11 stage chain or ‘swarm’ to trigger percentage discounts. Each swarm stage nets the customer a 10% reduction in the amount that he or she pays for their hosting service. Customers who reach the 11th stage will be given a 100% discount or in simple terms will receive a highly available and supported virtual server solution free of charge. The greater the number of new customers that join the swarm, the quicker the stages are triggered and the higher the discounts enjoyed by the existing customer base.

Errol Vanderhorst, Managing Director at virtualservers.com, stated: “The Swarm process may seem complicated at first, but actually it’s incredibly simple. Imagine the process as a theme park ride. Once the car is filled with paying customers, it sets off on a journey; differing discounts are then applied as it reaches various journey milestones, and a new set of customers start to fill the next car and await their turn. The only difference with our Swarm package is that our customers don’t disembark, once they have reached the 100% discount milestone – they stay there!”.
