OWN your domain name!

If someone  is buying a car, one of the first things they do after money has changed hands is to update the V5 document with the DVLA to make the change of ownership official. This is pretty common sense really – the seller does not want to find themselves being contacted about a car they no [...]

I ain’t done nuthing, guv’nor! Or, why proper VPS maintenance is vital

Our Virtual Private Server (VPS) offerings are very powerful solutions. Customers have full root/administrator access and so the sky is the limit when it comes to customising the machine. Something we often need to stress, though, is that a full root access machine can serve one of many different functions depending on what the administrator [...]
