DNS performance improvements in Europe and Asia

We’ve recently added new authoritative DNS nameserver “instances” in Europe and Asia, which will improve the performance of sites we hosts for website visitors in those regions. For a site visitor in India or Australia, for example, the first page of a website we host should now load around 100 ms (a tenth of a second) faster.

Our customers don’t need to make any changes to get the speed improvement — this is all handled behind the scenes.

New status page

We’ve traditionally used our blog for notifications about our system status, but we’ve now added a more modern status page, at www.tigertechstatus.net. It shows any problems, outages, or planned maintenance.

We recommend that you bookmark the page in your web browser so you can check it even if you can’t reach our main site for some reason. (It’s hosted by a third party, so it will be available even if there’s a problem with our services.) You can use the Get Updates button in the top of that page to subscribe to status updates by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams or RSS feeds.

New web-based file manager

We recently added a new web-based file manager interface for our hosting customers. It’s a great alternative to FTP if you need to transfer files.

In addition to the features you’d expect, like uploading, downloading, unzipping, and so on, you can use it to browse individual files in backups we’ve made for your account. (Unlike many other hosting companies nowadays, backups are still always included free with all our hosting plans!)
