Getting started with WordPress

30 April 2011 23:16:16 +0000

We’ve put up a page on our documentation website entitled Getting Started with WordPress, which is aimed at our clients that we have set up with the WordPress content management system. This is intended, as the title suggests, just to get you started — heading in the right direction — with WordPress, so that you’re not flailing about in the dark with nobody to hold your hand at the beginning. Once you’ve got the hang of things and learnt some of the lingo that WordPress uses, you can then strike out on your own, taking your blog or website where you want it to go, using WordPress to help you.

Domain iCash.ca up for auction right now

20 March 2011 01:27:21 +0000

We have, over the years, acquired a number of domains which we have not yet used for anticipated projects. One of these — iCash.ca — is currently in a seven-day auction which ends on Thursday 24 March at 18:55 EDT (15:55 PDT, 22:55 UTC). (See the World Time Server to calculate the time in your time zone.)

With the ubiquitous “i” prefix everywhere these days, iCash.ca could be used to promote a banking app for mobile phones — the iPhone in particular, of course.

If you’re interested in acquiring this domain, please place your bid at the Afternic website by Thursday. Thank-you.

New relay server

25 November 2010 10:03:24 +0000

We have commissioned a new server in London, England. Currently the primary purpose of this server will be to act as a mail relay, and will replace the existing relay server. Essentially, the relay server is being moved closer to those who use it the most. However, it is also configured to be more secure against spam. As such, it will only accept mail submissions on port 587, rather than the standard port 25 for SMTP. If you use the relay server, you will need to make a small configuration change to your email program or on-site mail server to use port 587. The address (relay.niner.net) of the server will remain the same.

We’ll be testing the server over the next week or so, and we’ll send an email to those clients who use the relay server early next week with a date to transition to the new server. If all goes well we may make the transition on 4 December 2010. However, should clients need more time to adapt, we may move that back a week to 11 December.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact support.
