free hosting for charities

And our second announcement (in our Super-Month-of-Announcements aka. August!)…

We are delighted to now offer free web hosting for charities registered in Ireland or the UK.

If you are involved with a registered charity in Ireland, did you know they are also eligible for free .ie domain registration? We will happily help them setup their web hosting and register their domain name.

Also, we will provide highly discounted rates for other non-profit organisations who are not registered as charities.

Interview with Aodhan Cullen (StatCounter)

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

Here is an interesting interview that I thought I’d share with you.

Via Silicon Republic, they talk to Aodhan Cullen, the creator of StatCounter. StatCounter provides free live web analytics services, and Aodhan started it in 2000 when he was only 16.

Aodhan says:
“We started with one shared server, and as more visitors signed up we moved to a dedicated one and it just kept growing and growing. We now have over 90 servers in Texas. At the moment we’re adding about two new ones every couple of weeks.”

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

14:44 One of our fiber connectivity providers (NTL) is currently experiencing technical problems and customers on our shared and dedicated server clusters in our Dublin datacente may be unable to connect to servers at present. Engineers are working to resolve this problem.
