New Server!

April 12th, 2009

Welcome to our new server, hopefully your downtime during our transfer will have been minimal.  Our new server now uses an optimised version of the industry leading CPanel control panel for easy of use, whilst keeping the responsiveness and speed you are used to in our old control panel.

If you experience any problems or have any questions feel free to contact us

Some weird music.

February 23rd, 2009

Whilst working some great music is always needed. It can really help with motivation during those late night emergencies. I’m sure most of of you have not been able to avoid Kid Cudi’s track “day & night”, but if you haven’t be sure to check it out and also the many remixes that are doing the round http://www.myspace.com/kidcudi

But aside from that another tune that really caught my eye was a new one from Tiga. Tiga recorded the classic “Sunglasses at night”. His latest record has slightly creepy feel to it much like the last one but has a really punchy sound to it…I think it will be something we will definitely be hearing more of. http://www.myspace.com/officialtiga

My last selection its Flo Rida’s somewhat filthy remix of “You Spin me round (like a record baby)” I find this song whilst undeniably terrible techniqually, immensely amusing, I love it :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4b6EC3995Q

End to Music DRM on iTunes

January 7th, 2009

At the MacWorld conference yesterday there was a very significant announcement regarding iTunes and DRM. Soon you will be able to copy your iTunes downloads to any device you want. No annoucement so far on what happens to the music you’ve already bought however.

One of our many server providers, saidhost has gone under without any prior warning. We quite literally got a message the server was down from our server monitoring people so we attempted to login to the server but it was inaccessible. We then tried to file a ticket and contact the company but their website had disappeared. Their phone had also been disconnected. A quick google search revealed the true story.

The company had gone bankrupt, but instead of warning its customers and allowing them time to move data and handle migrations, they had simply gone under, even taking our payment for December’s services.

Fortunately because we take daily backups, we were able to restore all of our clients data and migrate them to another server. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

For a more conversation and discussion, and incidentally where I found out about this initially check this thread out http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=732244
