We are please to announce that we have drastically increased resources on our Coldfusion 7 Web Hosting Products.
The increases see diskpace increases up to 400% and all Coldfusion 7 hosting packages now benefit from Unlimited Bandwidth.
Existing clients have already had their web hosting packages upgraded and we’re confident that this will benefit all.
We were recently tasked with php issues on a clients 2008 server in which their billing application would return wierd and wonderful errors.
The solution was to install and load php 5.3.8 Win32 VC9 x86 onto their server and hopefully resolve the issue.
After enabling and installing php 5.3.8 our initial problems were that php was returning blank pages with no errors being logged despite us enabling error debugging and logging.
Our initial attempt saw us download the Ioncube loaders from Ioncube’s site. For this part you want find the version of ioncube that matches your php version, and then download the zip file, ie Windows VC9 (x86)
WE extracted the files and placed them into php’s ext folder only to find that IIS would not read the files as they werent prefixed php_ so we renamed ioncube_loader_win_5.3.dll to php_ioncube_loader_win_5.3.dll, reloaded IIS’s php extensions and were now able to see the extension and enable it.
Upon enabling we were presented with the following error
Site error: the file <b>C:\domains\xxx.domain.com\admin\index.php</b> requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_win_5.3.dll to be installed by the site administrator.
C:\Users\Administrator>c:\apps\php-5.3.8-Win32-VC9-x86\php-cgi.exe c:\domains\xxx.domain.com\admin\index.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.8
Content-type: text/html
The ionCube Loader is a Zend-Engine extension and not a module Please specify the Loader using ‘zend_extension’ in php.ini
At this point we undid the changes, renamed the dll back to its original file name and added the following line the php.ini
zend_extension=”C:\apps\php-5.3.8-Win32-VC9-x86\ext\ioncube_loader_win_5.3.dll”
Voila, success
Your domain name could be stolen or given up to the evil entity known as the Cyber squatters whose main mission is to steal your web identity and this is how they do it. They could register YourDomainName.org, and do the same thing with YourDomainName.biz, therefore contacting you and try to sell you those names at advanced prices. If that doesn’t work, then the following events could happen.
They will allow your competitor to get a domain that sounds like yours, and allow him to cause confusion or try to steal your hard-earned traffic, business and clients.
Take these steps right now to halt the cyber squatters.
Simply Lock in all possible variations of your domain name/company name by registering them. You can buy these names and keep them under your roof by simply loading them on your domains hosting plan as aliases. This way even if people browse these possible variations of your domain, they still land on your website.
Start by doing a Domain Check for the different variations of your domain name.
Don’t let cyber squatters shake you down and ruin what you have built up on the net. Get the rights and the authorization to similar or like names to your main domain name!
Over the past few months we’ve noted a drastic increase in reseller sales (Can I get a high five?). Upon further inspection we have picked up on a few individuals who have referred us on a few IT related forums – for this we thank you.
After brief discussion around the topic we have decided to offer our resellers commission on all referrals sent through to us.
To qualify for referrals sent through to us please follow the procedures outlined below :
After referring a client through to us, send us a ticket with the potential clients details.
Once we’ve confirmed that the third party has signed up with us and been referred by yourself, and via which methods we’ll note a credit to be passed for 50% of their initial purchase.
The following terms apply :
The 50% referral fee is only awarded on shared hosting services, ie end user packages and reseller packages.
The new client needs to have their services active for three months, at which point a credit will be passed to your account for 50% of the initial referral.
The referral fee is in no way transferable and may not be exchanged for any other services nor paid out.
Your reseller account needs to be in good shape, ie not suspended or cancelled.
Feel free to send us your comments and suggestions.

What type of hosting service to choose?
Deciding what type of Web Hosting Service to use can be a difficult task as there are so many options available. We will explain the different types of web hosting and hopefully this will make your job of choosing the right hosting plan to suit your needs much easier. We look at Windows Web Hosting South African .
There are various types of web hosting services and it all depends on what you want to accomplish in building a web-site and creating an online presence for your business. You should look at the different options which depend on these following factors:
Complexity of your web-site – You may want to talk to a developer on the complexity of your web-site, especially when it comes to graphics and database administration. You may have to consult with an Internet specialist on the type of hosting that you need.
Free Web Hosting – You get Free hosting but with Free hosting comes low bandwidth and low disks space, This is due to so many people using the free service instead of the paid service. Basically, you get a free web email account with free hosting services on which you will be able to host very basic static website(no database or scripting like php or asp).
Paid Web Hosting – Then there is paid hosting which gives you more control over what you host on your web site. You get POP mail access and will be able to load more advanced sites. You will also receive unlimited bandwidth and more than enough disk space.
You get two different types of paid hosting, Personal Web Hosting and Business Web Hosting. Personal Web Hosting will be perfect for simple personal websites or blogs. Generally the resources are much lower than Business Web Hosting plans. Business Web Hosting is perfect for SME companies with a large user base. Business Web Hosting offer more resources and access to enterprise software like Microsoft SQL Server.
Specialised Web Hosting – You also get Specialised Hosting like WordPress Hosting, Joomla Hosting and PHPBB Hosting. These hosting plans come with the WordPress or Joomla or PHPBB software already installed and in the case of WordPress it also includes over 200 templates to choose from. WordPress and Joomla are both Content Management Systems which allow you to easily set up and manage your own website without the help of a web developer which will save you thousands. PHPBB give you the ability to run your own forum. For custom WordPress setups you could consult a WordPress specialist to help you design and set up your custom WordPress site.
The prices depend on how much space you need on the server to load your website or applications so it is very important to plan before deciding on which hosting plan will suit your needs.
