POP3 Server Restart @ 13:50 16/11/09

Jason White — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:01:56 +0000

For performance reasons we restarted pop3 Mail Service, we had the server running in debug mode for the last couple of days. This is processor intensive and so we wanted to run the service in production mode again as soon as possible. Your downtime, if any at all, should not have been more than a minute.

Thank you, the vonhost team.

This morning we experienced an unexpected event on the email server, this has resulted in some downtime for some accounts. Our engineers are aware of the problem and have now stabilised the system, account holders should find emails being delivered as normal.

We are still reviewing the situation and monitoring the servers.

Thank you for your support in this event.

In with the new FTP server

Support — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 09:36:49 +0000

We have recently updated our FTP server software, after months of testing we have finaly stopped using Microsoft FTP as our primary file server in favour of the one available from MediaModus.com.

The main benefit is support for secure file transfer protocol, so now in the same way that your confidential information is protected on a secure website your confidential source file data can be too.

It’s worth noting that older accounts that begin with “Admin_” will no longer function on port 21, port 22 should be used instead.
