Automattic (the company behind WordPress) continues their path of backup domination with news that will probably please WordPress fans hosting on VPS.NET (a cloud hosting service).
Our friends at VPS.NET have just turned on their partner golden ticket machine for VaultPress, and are now making these golden tickets available to all of their hosting clients. We’re excited to bring them on as a partner as we continue to roll the VaultPress beta out to more customers. (Official VaultPress Blog)
VPS.NET alerted users via Twitter (as shown below) and are providing their customers with priority access to VaultPress in which they can access by clicking upon a link while logged into their accounts.
This is Automattic’s second hosting partnership as they have previously partnered with WPEngine (which is a WordPress only hosting company).
With many WordPress fans attempting to get their hands upon a VaultPress golden ticket, it would not be surprising to see WordPress partner with other reputable companies before launching VaultPress to the public.
Note: Users who sign up with VaultPress (while the platform is currently in beta) are able to receive a monthly discount for the service, which are priced at $15/month and $40/month for the standard and premium services, respectively.
