At approximately 10:00 PM Pacific time tonight, October 23, the “flexo” Web server will be restarted.
As a result, for customers on the “flexo” server (only), Web site service and the ability to read incoming e-mail will be unavailable for approximately five minutes. Customers on other servers will not be affected.
Back in May, we posted that we now offer basic SSL certificates for just $19.00 a year, allowing you to protect your Web site without going broke.
Today, we’ve added another option: you can optionally choose a “wildcard” AlphaSSL certificate instead for just $49.00 a year.
We’ve fixed a bug in our Webmail system that could, in rare cases, make Japanese language symbols display incorrectly. This change shouldn’t affect anything else, but as always, feel free to contact us if you have any trouble.
When we store older Apache Web server access logs for your site — those that are more than two months old — we re-compress the original logs into single monthly files. These take up less disk space for your account when you have a lot of them. (We have some customers with log files going back more than ten years!)
Until now, we’ve re-compressed these files using gzip compression. However, we’re going to switch to a different modern compression format, bzip2 compression, which reduces the size even more. The resulting files are about half the size of gzip.
