XC-Host — Support Blog

Now that things are stable and the up time is over 8 days. I can finally declare that all the “hiccups” we had earlier have now been fixed. If however you still have a problem just submit a Support Ticket and I will promptly solve the issue.

The changes that I have made on this new server are very minor. For one there will be no more Fantastico. It took them one month to update wordpress. And that was after 2 versions with security fixes had already been out for weeks.. It’s a huge security issue to not have the updated versions of scripts, and frankly I’d rather not have Fantastico if it takes them more than a week to produce the updates. If however a lot of people want it I can see what I can do about getting it..

One other change I made was to the webmail part (:2095). I’ve been meaning to add RoundCube Webmail to the list of available options. And about 20 minutes ago I completed the 2nd fresh install (first didn’t work for some reason). Personally if I’m not using gmail I only use RoundCube; what can I say I’m a sucker for the cool ajax and layout of rc

All the hosting plans will be increasing by 1.3%. This change only applies to NEW customers. I won’t be changing anything for current customers.

By late February XC-Host will have new banners and specials going on. Also I will be introducing Referral Rewards. These are for current customers who refer someone to XC-Host (and they signup). You will get an extra 50mb of either space or bandwidth per referral. To get your referral reward just (for now) open a ticket over at: http://www.xc-host.com/?page=support and in the ticket please include the domain and paypal email address of the person you referred and of course which account you want the reward added to..

If you have any questions or concerns on anything I mentioned in this blog please either leave a comment, email me (joe m at xc-host.com), or send in a support ticket!
