If you have an existing free Facebook Accelerator account, you should have received this promotion via email today. For the rest of you, we’ve got a great deal to offer.

Today, over 14% of application usage at Facebook comes from applications that run on Joyent Accelerators, and it is great to watch the successes many of you have had on this platform.

To support your continued growth, we have come up with special pricing to help you scale:

  • 20% off 1GB, 2GB or 4GB Accelerators if you buy on a quarterly basis.
  • 50% off 1GB, 2GB or 4GB Accelerator if you buy 1 year as you will get the 2nd year for free.

On both offers, we’ll also waive the set up fees for people upgrading from Joyent Facebook Accelerators.

You can get these deals on the special order page. This pricing is available for a limited time only.

Also, we’ve increased your bandwidth to 10TB!!

Joyent now gives you your first 10,000 GiB (10TB) of data transfer AND traffic between your Joyent Accelerator and Facebook, does not count towards the 10TB – an even sweeter deal no one can match!

On Amazon, that would cost you just about $1,800. After the first 10TB, your charges will be a mere $0.15 per GB. Not a bad deal we think.

Don’t wait, Upgrade Today!

UPDATE: PLEASE NOTE THIS PROMOTION ENDED ON MARCH 31, 2008.

Just to clarify, this deal doesn’t apply to all “Joyent Accelerators,” as the title might imply, but only “Facebook Accelerators,” is that correct?

Hi Raymond, yes – this is specifically for the Facebook Accelerators. It should have been made more clear.

I will update the title now.

Can one use both a Facebook Accelerator and a Joyent Accelerator?

For example start with a Facebook Accelerator with all inside (application + database), outgrow the capacity and then order a Joyent Accelerator to offload the database to it but still keep the Facebook accelerator for app and static files serving.

Or would upgrading mean loosing the Facebook Accelerator?

In this case could one order a Joyent Accelerator for the database and then add a Facebook Accelerator for the app?

What scares most people about facebook is the huge bandwith costs if your app is ever successful (which is not a bad thing, but growing too fast can be).
