[25/01/2012] Downtime - I have been informed that there will be some downtime during the early hours of 5th February - between midnight and 6:00am GMT. This is for the splicing and installation of some new fibre cable offsite. Full details are available on the Network Issues page on our Billing portal. This will not require a reboot.
[11/12/2011] Downtime - I have literally just been informed that there will be some downtime on 28th/29th December to move the core switch port to the new rack. This should only take about 5 minutes to complete and will not require a reboot. The VaultHosting, Ltd. machine has already been moved to the new rack so shouldn't experience much more planned downtime in the near future.
[11/12/2011] Live Help - Due to LiveZilla deciding to pull their free version and force upgrading users to pay for a Per-Operator licence which VaultHosting, Ltd. cannot currently afford, on top of the monthly server bill, monthly lease on the WHMCS (billing) licence, etc. so we have decided to switch our live support provider to Comm100 which has been recommended to us.
[11/12/2011] Google Checkout - Google Checkout is becoming part of Google Wallet. Google Wallet is a virtual wallet that securely stores payment information and makes paying fast both online and in-store. On the web, buyers simply click a Google Wallet button to make quick and secure purchases with their saved payment information. Buyers can also use the Google Wallet mobile app to make purchases at thousands of retail store locations with just a tap of the phone.
Introduction
VaultHosting, Ltd. was started in June 2010 by James Abrahart with two things in mind - keeping it cheap, and keeping it secure.
Our system runs Debian 6.0 (codename Squeeze) (a popular Linux distribution), is automatically kept fully up-to-date, with security and software updates installed hourly, and all user data is backed up to an off-site location every night so your data will always be safe.
We now use WHMCS as our ordering and billing system so you can rest assured your payments are handled securely too, with a payment gateway choice of PayPal, Google Checkout, or manual bank payments.
