If doubling either your RAM, hard drive or bandwidth isn’t enough for you, The Planet now offers you to double both your RAM, hard disk AND bandwidth for one low price. For all servers priced lower than $200/month, it costs $47 to double your features. For servers over $200/month it’s only $37.

As an example, a Pentium 4 - 3.0 GHz with 80 GB hard drive, 1024 MB RAM and 1500 GB bandwidth normally cost $139/month. With this promo you can get the same machine with 160 GB hard drive, 2048 MB RAM and 3000 GB bandwidth for only $186/month.

Usually the bandwidth upgrade alone is more than $200/month and the RAM upgrade is another monthly $20, so this is an amazing offer if you need the extra features.
