Simply Eddie's Are Now Accepting Pre-Orders For .CO Domain Extension
The .CO is set to be one of the hottest domain properties to hit the Internet community that offers a truly global, recognisable and credible domain name for individuals and organisations to build their businesses and brands.
The new .CO domain name is due to be released on 20th July 2010, but don't wait until then to order your .CO domain name. Simply Eddie's are now accepting pre-orders to give you a better chance of getting the name you want with this prestigious extension for only £24.99. Make sure you take advantage of this great opportunity to grab your new global .CO domain name before someone else does.
Don't waste any time! We have set up our automated systems to attempt to register your .CO domain name the minute www.cointernet.co open their systems to take registrations. There will be a huge global landrush to grab a new .CO name so get on our list right now and stand a better chance of getting the name you want.
Other registrars are now taking pre-orders too and they'll also be using automated systems to register names for their customers, so if you want the best chance of getting the name you want, Get On Our List! Simply Eddie's is a small company easily dwarfed by some of the larger companies who claim to host several million domains, but we see that as our advantage. It means our list will be much smaller and therefore we can get the domains registered quicker. Why join another company's list and be the 2,000,000th customer waiting for their registration when you can be 2nd (sorry, we're 1st) on our list?
Microsoft FrontPage Extensions Support Discontinued
From 1st May we will begin the process of discontinuing support for Microsoft FrontPage Extensions. In June 2006 the Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for UNIX were deemed to be "End-of-Life" which means modern versions of Apache web server software cannot run the extensions. By removing FrontPage extensions we can benefit from the enhancements, security and features that are in modern versions of Apache.

FTP Lock
Over the last year there has been a substantial increase in the number of sites on the internet that have been hacked due to viruses that steal FTP credentials from user's home computers. Hackers then use the credentials to insert hidden code within web pages. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gumblar for more information on this type of attack.
To help combat these type of attacks and make it extremely difficult for the hackers to infect websites via this route, we have installed a new security feature to hosting control panels called FTP-Lock. To unlock FTP, customers will simply log into their hosting control panel and click one button to unlock FTP for a period of time. FTP will then automatically lock again after the time period has expired.
Customers will be able to nominate an IP address if they wish that has permanent FTP access, customers FTPing from that IP address will not have to unlock FTP.
These security measures will ensure that the majority of sites have FTP locked, greatly reducing the risk of having websites infected.
Mobile Control
Hosting control panels can now be accessed on iPhones & Androids giving customers the ability to control their websites from anywhere without the need for a computer.
Customers can continue to use our usual hosting control panel login URL when connecting with their iPhones or Androids. Our systems will automatically detect the devices and load iphone friendly control panel pages without the need for customers to log in from different URL's specifically for mobile access.
