Today RepriseHosting.com announced the launch of a new dedicated server hosting special. For a limited time, Reprise Hosting is offering “lease-to-own” dedicated servers whereby the customer takes ownership of the server hardware and all components after a 12 month rental period. For hosting patrons accustomed to indefinite monthly payments while accruing zero equipment assets, this new special by Reprise Hosting is a unique value added approach not often seen in the hosting industry.
“We’ve offered cPanel dedicated server specials in the past, but this time we wanted to offer something truly unique. Our lease-to-own promotion offers tremendous value for our clients”, commented Jeff Michaels of Reprise Hosting. “We’ve seen a lot of interest from our clients in acquiring server equipment and building out their own infrastructure—an infrastructure that they have the freedom to migrate to another datacenter if they so desire. We obviously believe that our customers will remain satisfied with their service and will opt to remain hosted by us after the initial 12 month period”.
While lease-to-own servers have become more common in recent years, such offers still remain few and far between. When asked why that might be, Jeff answered “It’s not the easiest thing in the world to effectively give away your hardware after 12 months. It requires more planning and forethought if you are to do it properly. Depreciation and failed hardware replacements are just a couple of the costs we must forecast more accurately than if the servers were not lease-to-own.”
The lease-to-own dedicated servers are now available at http://www.reprisehosting.com/ and start at $69 per month. Entry level servers come with Dual Intel Xeon L5420 processors, 8GB memory, 500GB or 1TB SATA drives and variable bandwidth options.

Reprise Hosting is a hosting provider based out of Las Vegas, Nevada and specializes in best value VPS hosting and dedicated server hosting solutions.

MALACAÑANG said on Sunday that the reason for the alleged “slow progress” of the peace talks between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front was due to the intensive scrutiny being done on the three remaining annexes of the Bangsamoro Framework Agreement in order to “pass muster.”
In a press briefing aired over government-run radio station dzRB Radyo ng Bayan, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said the government did not want a repeat of the earlier memorandum of agreement on ancestral domain that also detailed the Bangsamoro homeland but was met with strong public opposition.
“Given that the last three remaining annexes contain some heavy issues so to speak, the government is really taking a close look at…given the experience sa mga nakaraan tulad ng MOA-AD, ayaw po natin maulit yoon at gusto po natin siguraduhin na yung mga nilalaman ng mga annexes, that the contents of the annexes will pass muster,” Valte said.
Once passed into law, the Framework of Agreement on the Bangsamoro will pave the way for the establishment of the new autonomous political entity, the Bangsamoro, to replace the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
The agreement was signed on the afternoon of October 15, 2012, in ceremonies held at Malacañan Palace, witnessed by President Benigno S. Aquino III, Malaysian Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak, and other dignitaries. (PND)
