Times are changing and we are making website building even easier before for the non-technical out there! We are currently in beta testing but the results are astounding. We will be releasing a new control panel with new features as well. Stay tuned!

On shared and reseller servers we will now be also running an exploit scanner along with anti-virus on any files uploaded to your account. We expect this should aid in reducing the number of compromised accounts which result by older/out-dated scripts (which should be updated by the account owner).

If you have a shared hosting plan and are blocked by the server’s firewall, you may now unblock your IP via your billing account, services, manage next to the related hosting plan and the unblock me button. To prevent this from re-occurring, please contact us regarding what caused the issue initially.

As the internet becomes more and more media heavy with larger images and videos the demand on server processors continue to go up and affect performance. This weekend we will be installing a reverse proxy system on our reseller servers that dramatically improves the overall speed and performance to the servers. We have been using this system on many large dedicated clients including MTV websites and radio talk shows with wonderful success over the last six months. The system is now ready and has been tested in a shared environment for the past two months. We will be providing this new service to our reseller clients starting this weekend. No changes to your client websites are needed nor is there any additional cost to you! Everything will be transparent.
How it works: A reverse proxy sits in front of Apache and only views requests for the following media file types gif,jpg,jpeg,png,ico,wmv,avi,asf,asx,mpg,mpeg,mp4,pls,mp3,mid,wav,swf,flv,txt,js,css,exe,zip,rar,gz,tgz,uha,7z,doc,docx,xls,xlsx,pdf. If a file falls under this file list the system immediately delivers the file with the very efficient reverse proxy reducing overhead requests to Apache (HTTP Web Service Engine) which otherwise would require more time to process. All other file types are passed onto Apache as normal. There are no changes to PHP, HTML, SHTML or htaccess files.
Scalability: Not only is speed increased but scalability as well. This system is able to deal with larger requests and even offers an additional level or protection against denial of service attacks.

As many know Comcast have been having DNS issues in many of their larger markets this includes California and Florida and during Cyber Monday 11/29 the outage was even more apparent. ZDNet has released an excellent article on setting up your computer with more stable DNS servers such as those provided by OpenDNS and Google DNS. We recommend using these where possible as you will notice more stability in your web browsing lookups.

If you want to go a step further we recommend updating your local router with the following DNS servers:
8.8.8.8
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

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.
1 Apr
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.

We have completed the transition to the new network! If you haven’t noticed it is a bit faster with up to 30ms shaved off on routing.
14 Mar
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.
1 Mar
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!
21 Feb
We now have a mobile version of our website available for cellphones! When we switch over our billing software it will also be PDA/cellphone friendly.
21 Feb
We have made our servers more Blackberry friendly. This includes our shared hosting plan the Ultra Unlimited, reseller and dedicated servers.
21 Feb
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.
