We have now setup our main shared servers with LiteSpeed web services. Most clients will notice the speed improvement immediately. Some sites loading as much as 2x faster!
Custom php.ini and .htaccess files still work as normal. In some rare situations such as register globals or memory increase, moving the command to the .htaccess will be required.

With experience with several very large websites including some large forums and a popular MTV site, we are now offering reverse proxy to our dedicated server clients. Implementing a reverse proxy helps speed up static file content as the system has it cached and requires very little overhead to deliver those files with the system while freeing up resources for Apache usage.

We have setup another new DNS cluster for clients. It is the default for all new shared hosting clients.
This allows for additional DNS redundancy.

The transition to the new Level3 / XO network has gone over quite well. There are always a few hiccups but it was considerably better than migrations in the past. We’ll be moving remaining devices off the old network during the week.

We have completed the transition to our new customized billing system. It is full of many new features client side and should make ordering a lot more easier. There are a few hiccups from the old billing system but we are working through them.
On another note, we now have a lower priced four year hosting term now available!

We have tested and implemented new SPAM filters on all of our shared and reseller servers. This will greatly help filter out pharmaceutical, porn and gambling SPAM in forum threads, blog comments and guestbooks saving our clients a lot of time and hassle with such spammers.

SharedSSL is now available with our Ultra Unlimited. It is not as professional looking as having your own domain certificate but offers another option for securing forms when needed.

We have updated our hosting control panel again!

We have made another site builder available to our clients. Rv Site Builder. This will provide our users with another option when building their website. The site builder offers a different style of wizard and a few useful modules such as photo album and blog integration.
We have purchase many site builder programs in the past and we are confident in the two present site builder offerings.
It is available in the hosting control panel on newer servers.

We have been seeing a lot of exploits coming from old Joomla installations. It appears the older versions have a very large security hole in them. As always we always recommend upgrading to the latest stable available version of any script you may use. If you installed the script via Fantastico you may upgrade via Fantastico. If you manually installed it you may find the upgrade files available @ http://www.joomla.org/download.html

We have had two issues with network connectivity on Tuesday, November 24th. The 1st being 20 minutes long at 12:59PM PST. The second being at 8:59PM PST and lasted approximately three hours. Our primary connection goes to a local building which has several network providers at that point. The issue occurred as a result of a buggy firmware update to the switch our connection goes to into that building. The switch has been thunked back to an older stable version.
There has been a couple outages in less than a year now with the new data center and they have been working to prevent such outages in the future. We understand the inconvenience and we are doing everything we can to get these problems ironed out. Again, we apologise for the downtime and we are presently investigating a local redundant connection through another provider into the data center for additional network redundancy and we will get this squared away as much as possible.
Thank you,
David Turner
President and CEO

The network was down for 20 minutes. The Westin Building which we have one of our network connections to lost complete power to switches. Rerouting occurred to the data centers other network connections but slower than expected. The data center will be correcting this. That you for your patience.

We have completed integration of a new Nortel Gigabit switch into our network topology. The new switch provides additional link redundancy and slightly faster speeds.
