Detailed Notes:

[updated May 2011. Note that we make use of Swiftway's services ourselves]

From November 2009 until October 2010 there was a star performer in this database and it was the server this entry described. For the price there was absolutely nothing else in here which could touch it apart from the Midrange MR20 from Core Networks which is castrated by its rotten 1990s era 10Mbit port. However, technology moves on, and seeing as you can now pick up quad core processors for less than US$50/month, it seems very strange that Swiftway decided to drop their Intel Core 2 Duo processor for a fairly poor (for this price range) Intel Atom.

World Connectivity:

Pros:

None at this price range and with what's currently available elsewhere on the market.

Cons:

For less money, you can get a better CPU, better RAM and better network transfer.

Verdict:

Sorry Swiftway. I simply can't recommend this server at this price. Try €15/month and you'd be in the right price area.
