Firefox 3 Release Redefines Web Experience
18 June 2008
The latest version of Firefox 3 has been released.Developed by Mozilla, Firefox is an open source web browser that comes highly recommended. Mozilla claim it is 2-3 times faster, and includes major updates including faster page rendering, enhanced security features, and a smart location bar which helps you to find webpages when you can't remember the address. The browser takes a little getting used to, but it is packed with new features.
Firefox are trying to break a Guinness world record with the most downloads in a 24 hour period, so their main site has crashed a few times today under the load.
If you currently use Firefox 2 or Internet Explorer, we recommend you upgrade!
Service Improvements - New Client Area
16 May 2008
I'm delighted to announce that we have upgraded our Client Area!The Client Area allows customers to manage their hosting accounts, domain names and SSL certificates, and now includes a new multi-language website with secure credit/debit card processing, PDF invoices, instant account activation, and live chat.
All customers should have received an email with new login details for the Client Area. Over the past few days we have imported all the account details, hosting packages, domain names and other products to the new system.
We would ask customers to please take a moment to check all the details on your account are correct, and your address and contact telephone numbers are up to date.
It's still early (7.33am!), but apart from a few hosting packages having the wrong expiry date, the migration has been perfect! We'd also like to hear your comments and feedback about this upgrade so please do get in touch.
