Windows3 is currently down... well. not much longer

support@amhosting.com — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 07:28:37 GMT

Ok, this is just an update. We successfully got Wndows3 to run on the new server hardware.. now the fun stuff begins. Originally we were going to let windows3 run on its own... but for some reason the old windows3 just decided to die, so what we are going to do is put the new one online.. but we will be running upgrades on it which will take sites down. Between each upgrade, we will verify that web sites and email are working, and then shut it down, make a backup at that point in time, and start up again to do the next upgrade. This is going to be a long process, and it sucks that Plesk requires us to do 3 upgrades to get to the latest version, but once we are there, you guys will be very happy.

Anyhow, just hang tight, you will soon be on a much more powerful server!

gzip compression added to all plesk linux webservers

support@amhosting.com — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 01:43:22 GMT

We just enabled gzip compression for all Linux web servers. This will increase the performance of your site because pages will get served out faster to your viewers. This will also reduce your bandwidth usage on your account, supporting even more viewer then before under the same limits.

If you have an issue with gzip compression no your site, please let us know and we can exclude your site from the compression. Thanks.

To see how your site benefits from gzip compression, go to this website and type in your domain name at the top. You can look at any page on your website to see how well it works.
