SEO for Bing

I often talk about the stiff competition that we face for some of the more coveted search terms in our industry, like dedicated servers, managed hosting, and web hosting.

Tune-up your PC performance

After countless hours of searching the Internet, uploading pictures to your Friendster account then your MySpace account and then your Facebook account (yes, the same pictures), and several handfuls of forwarded messages that had you not sent in 10 minutes or less to 10 of your closest friends would have given you 10 years of bad luck, [...]

Red Hat’s Fedora Project, which works on the development release that will become Red Hat Enterprise Linux, released Fedora 11 yesterday, the latest and greatest version of the widely popular ‘not-just-for-dedicated-servers’ dedicated server operating system. Not to be confused with Unix, Linux refers to Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel. Fedora 11 has [...]

100k sites lost overnight

A hosting company in the UK, Vaserv.com, is fighting to find customer data after 100,000 websites were deleted. The company provides VPS solutions, not dedicated servers like we offer, and the attackers penetrated the hosts servers using a critical vulnerability in their virtualization application.
