Apache 2.2.9 Introduced to all Servers

Friday, September 26th, 2008

This is a quick update to let everyone know that HostedFX has now officially upgraded all of our servers to be using the latest stable build of Apache - version 2.2.9. We have previously delayed the upgrade as we wanted to make certain that most, if not all, of the bugs would be corrected by the time we have upgraded. We believe now is a great time to roll out the latest version of Apache, whilst maintaining our stable hosting environment.

The full list of new features and benefits of Apache 2 can be seen here.

The upgrade is now complete, and out of our eight servers we have only had one report of there being an issue - which was quickly resolved. As always, if you have any issues they we be quickly addressed via our secure client area.

Thank you,
Gareth Hodson

A New Member to the Support Team

Monday, August 11th, 2008

As HostedFX expands and our client base increases, the need for an extra member of staff to assist with keeping our clients happy is simply a necessity. We currently have a couple of support staff, a mystery technician, and contacts on hand at our datacenter 24 hours a day. With the growth of HostedFX, another knowledgable, reliable, helpful support operator was required. But for the time being, Gareth found me - Mark Horsfall.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the latest member of staff; Mark Horsfall. I will be working on the staff support team and will answer most queries along with Gareth. I’m here to answer and provide assistance when Gareth can’t - but so far, he seems to respond instantaneously to support tickets meaning I’ll have to wait until he sleeps to get a chance to respond to a ticket. I have an pretty established three year history in hosting, having owned my own hosting company before leaving the company due to time restraints. I now enjoy being a part time photographer at the young age of 16! As they say, age is merely a number, hosting is a passion of mine and I consider myself extremely knowledgable in the field.

I am located in the United Kingdom and am up around the clocking checking that clients are satisfied and everything is running smoothly. Gareth has set up an email address so you can email me directly if a support ticket doesn’t satisfy your needs. The email address is: markhorsfall@hostedfx.com - no spam please, unless it is something that will interest me.

I really look forward to helping out and getting started. If there’s anything else you’d like to know about me, either submit support tickets night and day to find out about my anger issues, or simply ask away in the comments section of this blog post.

Oh, and please keep ordering from HostedFX, else you’ll see me jobless. And you wouldn’t want that, would you?

Thank you,
Mark Horsfall,
Support Staff at HostedFX.

August Income Will be Donated to Charity

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

On this Thursday, I was sitting in a restaurant and noticed over in the far corner there was a lady who seemed to just basically be talking to as many people as possible. It turns out her job was to simply to gather donations from people dining for the purpose of Cancer Research. Needless to say, she enticed me over and the result was me donating £15 per month from my income to Cancer Research. Not a great amount of money, but I would have felt bad to have given nothing, and I’m sure my contribution may make a difference to somebody…right?

August Profit Will be Donated to Charity
This brings me on to my next point. The event at the restaurant really got me thinking - with me at the helm of HostedFX I’m in a postion to make quite a substantial contribution to any charity. By donating August’s income to charity, I will effectively be placing several thousand dollars into the hands of one (or several) charities.

So it’s decided. I’m going to foot the cost of our servers out of my own pocket for August, and donate all of the HostedFX income to the chosen charities.

Simply post a comment to this blog post recommending a charity that you would like to see the money go to, and I’ll make it happen.

Thank you for your time,
Gareth Hodson
