EU VAT Changes in Early 2015

You may have heard that the European Union will apply new VAT rules from the 1st of January 2015 to every company that delivers electronic services to its customers within Europe.

Our company and most of our customers fall into this category as well. Below we will explain what the changes are and how we are applying The VAT to our customers.

VAT rule changes

Currently, the VAT percentage is based on the country of the supplier. So right now customers in the EU are charged for Dutch VAT.

New VAT rules
From the 1st of January 2015, the VAT percentage must be based on the country of the customer. Basically, this means, that a customer of The Netherlands will be charged for example 21% VAT and a customer from Germany will be charged 19%.

How we apply VAT to our customers
However, the VAT calculation differs for private customers and companies. There are standard rates and reduced rates.

Private customers in NL and the EU
If you are a private customer in the Netherlands you are allowed to pay your own VAT rate and the same rule will be applied to private customers in the EU as well.

Companies in NL and the EU
However, if you are a company in the EU, there are two options during the sign-up process. Depending on your situation you can choose to enter your VAT number or not.

-  When you don’t enter your VAT number we are required to charge the applicable VAT.
-  When you do enter your VAT number during sing up process then you will pay the VAT in your own country and you need to report this in your own country as well.

Private customers outside NL and the EU
Private customers and companies outside the European Union are excluded from VAT charges.

We will apply the new VAT rule to our existing customer’s accounts from the 1st of January which means that invoices generated from the 1st of January will contain the new VAT rate.

Which server you should use for virtualization

How many virtual servers can I host on a dedicated server and which dedicated server do I need? These are the most frequently asked questions from customers when they want to purchase a dedicated server to run VMs.

The amount of VMs is hard to answer because it totally depends on your applications. Things that determine the amount is whether you have medium or heavy resource requirements.

Depending on your applications, you may be able to fit as many as 100 virtual machines on a single dedicated server, web file and print servers are perfect examples of light applications. If you run resource hungry applications such as mail servers and data base servers, you can often run as few as two.

Virtualization is very resource-intensive

In general it is true to say that virtualization is very resource-intensive. Hence, choosing enough RAM and the right CPU matters the most with server virtualization. When you run a VM on low RAM you may not get the performance you need and your machine can become very slow. That’s why we often recommend at least Hexa Core servers or even higher servers for virtualization.

Another thing that you should consider is your disk’s read/write performance. Since VMs have a very fast read/write capability it is recommended to get a RAID card. This will keep your data safe when one of your disks are broken.

We offer the following operating systems for server virtualization:

- Proxmox VE 3
- VMware ESXi 5.5
- XenServer 6.2.0

They are all available with instant setup at no additional costs. Take a look at our server's page for more detailed information.
