There’s no point offering a service that nobody wants. Likewise, if a lot of people ask you to offer a service it’s probably a good idea to listen to them. Both strategies are far from perfect. Apple has made a fortune by offering people products and services that they didn’t know they wanted, but “listening” […]
We’ve been providing Flash video tutorials and other resources for our clients for years. Originally we bought several sets of “standard” tutorials from DemoDemo, but when we were re-launching our shared hosting plans a few years ago we had to get Vito from DemoDemo to prepare a bunch of tutorials specifically for us. Since then […]
Over the last few months our technical team have been working on a number of new services. The first one to “go live” is our new cloud hosting solution – which is aimed at replacing our existing VPS services. We’ve never been into “buzzwords” and we don’t like “jumping on bandwagons”, so we’ve taken our […]
We are now offering Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) on our Linux VPS servers. Ubuntu 10.04 is an LTS (long term support) release, which means that there will be security updates made available for a longer period of time than you would get with a non-LTS version. You can read more about how Ubuntu handles release […]

Since we launched our VPS hosting services and revamped our shared hosting offerings we’ve had some very interesting feedback. I’d love to say it was all positive, but that would be a lie. Some people absolutely hate the new control panel. Other people find the control panel a bit confusing at times, but once they […]
We’re happy to say that we’re now able to offer Fedora 9 on our VPS hosting platform. If anyone has any questions please let us know. (Yes – we know Fedora 10 is already available and we will offer it as soon as we can)
Today I can officially announce our support for the latest Ubuntu distro (8.04). This will provide our customers with a platform to develop applications on a platform with the latest and greatest versions of many commonly used apps like php, apache, mysql etc. You can sign up for Ubuntu 8.04 based virtual private servers over […]
One of the wonderful things about our line of business is that so many of our clients are happy to share their experiences with us in public. A lot of them send us emails, blog about us, twitter or post on forums and mailing lists. Of course not all of their comments and feedback are […]
Image via Wikipedia If you’re using Plesk on a VPS or dedicated server you may want to configure email filtering. There are two ways to block spam from reaching you on a Plesk server: Spam Assassin DNS Blacklists DNS Blacklists can be very helpful, but bear in mind that you need to check what a […]
Since we launched our VPS hosting a couple of months ago we’ve been working on adding extra documentation both internally to our wiki and externally to our knowledgebase and websites.
