The Simple Host Blog

Just to let you know that Hera will be upgraded tonight at 3AM GMT to upgrade the kernel. There should only be a few minutes of downtime and we will make sure that all VPS’s come back online correctly.

We have scheduled this work for the following times:

Wednesday the 15th September 2010,

and Thursday the 16th September 2010,

between 0:30 am – 4:30 am CEST (GMT+2)

During these times, parts of the network may be unreachable. We thank you for your understanding and will be happy to answer any further questions you may have.

We’ve been working on a big project in the last few weeks to integrate our server management pages into our current client area and we’ve nearly completed development! If you would like to take a sneak-peak at the new control panel for managing your dedicated server check out a few preview here : Image 1, Image 2 & Image 3!

Let us know what you think or ask a question by sending us an e-mail!

Just a quick update, we now have ns2.thesimplehost.net set up as a backup mail server as well, you may notice that under MX records in cPanel you will see ns2.thesimplehost.net with an MX value of 100 – do not worry about this, but if you wish to receive your mail externally, you should remove this entry.

If you have any questions please contact us.

We are slowly migrating from Installatron to Softaculous, both are great auto-installation scripts but with the larger number of scripts we believe Softaculous would be more beneficial to our users.

Installatron will continue to work for another few months before it is completely removed – none of your scripts will be remove when this is complete.
