To further facilitate our customers in the management of their web hosting accounts we run regular updates to the customers' Web Hosting Control Panel. The newest update we've made concerns the Domain Manager, and in particular - the display field of the domains' status. This section will now contain up-to-date information about the current status of each domain name, as well as extended administration options.

Four new domain statuses have been added and will be displayed accordingly when a particular domain name has reached the respective status. The statuses will be notified with type icons, opening tooltips with detailed explanation about each of them. From the Expiration/Renewal column of the Domain Manager our customers will be also able to open other tooltips providing options for according domain action.

Domain statuses overview:

Redemption period - a period of up to 30 days after a domain name's expiration. During this period the domain name owner can retrieve the domain name from deletion and renew it against a small redemption fee. Automatic renewal option will be displayed in the Domain Manager in such cases. The redemption fee will be added to the renewal price of the domain name. The customer needs to open a tooltip from the Expiration/Renewal column of the domain name in RGP (Redemption Grace Period). There he/or she will be given the option to retrieve the domain name and renew it.

Extended redemption period - a grace period of another 7 - 30 days when the domain name can be retrieved from deletion and renewed. The renewal however cannot be automatic in this period and the domain name owner needs to contact our supports team with renewal request. 'Open support ticket' option will be displayed in the domain tooltip opened from the Expiration/Renewal column of the Domain Manager.

Pending delete period - this is rather informative than requiring any action, since during this period the domain name can be neither retrieved, nor renewed. It only shows that the domain has been blocked by its Registry and will be returned in 3 - 5 days back into the public pool of domain names.

Released from registry - this status shows that the domain name is now publicly available for registration. An option will be provided in the respective Expiration/Renewal Domain Manager field with registration of the domain name preserving its old WHOIS information. The previous domain name owner can take advantage of this opportunity and newly register the domain name. If the domain name has been already taken, an option with new domain name registration will be offered.

We hope that this update will be useful for our clients and will help them to better and easier manage their domain names.

New updated Domain Manager has been released and is already available to all our clients in their Web Hosting Control Panels.

The part that has been substantially updated is the display field of the domains' status. Unlike the previous version of the Domain Manager, this section now contains up-to-date information about the current status of each domain name, as well as extended administration options. Four new types of domain name status have been added and will be displayed with an according type icon if a particular domain name has fallen into one of those groups. The type icons will be opening a tooltip with more detailed explanation about the particular status. From the Expiration/Renewal column of your Domain Manager you can open another tooltip providing option for according domain action.

New domain statuses overview:

Redemption period - a period of up to 30 days after a domain name's expiration. During this period the domain name owner can retrieve the domain name from deletion and renew it against a small redemption fee. Automatic renewal option will be displayed in the Domain Manager in such cases, while the amount of the redemption fee will be added to the renewal price of the domain name. If you open a tooltip from the Expiration/Renewal column of a domain name in RGP (Redemption Registration Period), you will be given the opportunity to retrieve the domain name and renew it.

Extended redemption period - a period of another 7 - 30 days when the domain name can be retrieved from deletion and renewed. The renewal however cannot be automatic in this period and the domain name owner should contact our supports team with renewal request. Open support ticket option will be displayed in the domain tooltip opened from the Expiration/Renewal column of the Domain Manager.

Pending delete period - this is rather informative than requiring any action, since during this period the domain name can be neither retrieved, nor renewed. It only shows that the domain has been blocked by its Registry and will be returned in 3 - 5 days back into the public pool of domain names.

An option will be provided in the respective Expiration/Renewal Domain Manager field with registration of the domain name preserving its old WHOIS information.

As you may have already noticed, today, June 10th, the server supporting your website(s) (SupremeCenter10.co.uk) has been experiencing several 15-minute downtimes. The reason for those interruptions is a flood attack whose target website we have failed to determine. Our administrators are now trying their best to locate the under-attack website in order to eliminate the downtime-causing factor and thus to make sure that no other service disruptions will occur. The process of determining the website that is subject to the flood attack might take several hours, additional short interruptions are possible within that period.

We would like to apologize for any inconvenience that this matter may have caused to you and your online business.

We'd like to inform you about an upcoming maintenance on server SupremeCenter10.co.uk, that will take place at 3 AM, on June 6th, 2008. The procedure was imposed by the necessity for finding a permanent solution to the downtimes you may have been experiencing lately due to the frequent /var/ file system check procedures. To solve that issue, our administrators will need to re-build the /var/ partition of the server from a scratch, thus ensuring that all possible reasons for those file system disruptions have been eradicated and the server has been brought back to its stable working condition. The maintenance procedure is expected to last about 45 minutes without any negative effect on your hosted data. Please, accept our apologies for the inconvenience that the maintenance may cause to you or your business!

To the attention of our customers! A quick update was needed to be performed to the Control Panel of our web hosting server - SupremeCenter11.co.uk, at 12:30 today, June 3th, 2008, which caused a 90 minutes downtime to all Control Panel, FTP and email services. The procedure was successfully completed and the server is now fully operational. Please, excuse us for the inconvenience and mind that we are always doing our best to sustain a 99.9% uptime of our server network.

To the attention of all supremecenter39.com users! As you may have noticed, the server supporting your web hosting services was suffering a temporary unexpected working order disruption within the period of approximately two hours. For the successful resolution of the situation, that was threatening the entirety of the server's file system, our administrators had to take urgent measures which, unfortunately, required that the server be in offline mode. The remedy operations were followed by a file system check procedure that took most of the time within the period the server was online. All those operations were completed successfully, leading to the desired server recovery results. Now supremecenter39.com is back online with all the services functioning properly and no data loss registered.

We'd like to thank you for your understanding and would also like to assure you that all the best is being done to avoid further difficulties in this aspect.

Tomorrow - Tuesday, May 26th, 2008, our supremecenter101.com web hosting server will undergo a general maintenance. The procedure is set to start at 9 AM GMT (4 AM EST, 5 AM EDT) and cause a 20 minutes web hosting services downtime.

Please, excuse us for any inconveniences caused to you by the 30-minutes server downtime and know that we are carrying out this procedure with the sole purpose to improve our web hosting service.

Today, at around 12 AM GMT, we were forced to perform an urgent replacement of the IP addresses of all domains and subdomains currently hosted on supremecenter11.co.uk. This was due to a flood attack whose target website we have failed to determine. All customers, managing their DNS somewhere else, must update their IP address to the corresponding new IP address, which can be found in the Custom DNS Records section of the Web Hosting Control Panel.

The process of determining the website that was subject to the flood attack might take another 48 hours, meaning that within that period at least one more IP change will have to be performed (a change back to the original IP address or a change to a different IP address), before the attacked website finally comes to light

If you are not managing your DNS from somewhere else - no intervention on your side is demanded. The inconvenience in this case is that your website will display an error message of the type 'Your website has been configured', or similar, until the DNS cache gets cleared (within 20-30 minutes). According to RFC (Request for Comments) - this process is as time-consuming as is the domain name TTL, in this case - 10 minutes. However, the majority of DNSs do not comply with that standard and cache the results for a longer period of time.

Dear customers,

We are glad to inform you that your hosting accounts will be transferred to a new higher standard web hosting platform and the quality of your web hosting services will be much improved. The new platform is designed to handle the server load during peak times (more than 10 peak times per day usually occur) much easier. You have probably faced so far server overload problems, esp. when running a backup procedure or processing the logs for the webalizer stats. With the new platform this problem should not occur - the server load during peak times will be no longer a cause for concern.

In order to execute the transfer procedure, your hosting accounts will be moved from supremecenter36 to supremecenter101. The transfer procedure will take place some time during the next 30 working days. We shall inform you, of course, about the exact day and when the transfer has been successfully done.

The differences you'll spot and/or need to get accustomed to:

• If you have been using webmail Horde - your settings will be lost.
• The MySQL host will be changed from supremecenter36.com to supremecenter101.com. The procedure will be executed automatically in your scripts. You won't have to manage it yourself. But if, after all, there's some problem or a database mistake - please, check in the configuration files where the MySQL host is located first, and make sure it is the new one.
• The PHPMyAdmin URL will be changed. The new URL for direct access will be https://supremecenter101.com/pma/.

Everything else will remain the same. You'll be able to access the control panel from both https://supremecenter36.com and https://supremecenter101.com.

With compliments, from our company

Dear clients,

It us our pleasure to inform you that, as of today, support of PHP v6 is available on all servers in our web hosting network.

This is a brand new version of PHP that still needs to be stabilized online. Therefore, the version is still recommended utterly for test purposes and experimental use. We are introducing the new version in our system earlier in advance, as there are already lots of users interested in developing and maintaining dynamic web sites through PHP v6 enabled software. We would like to advice you, however, to restrain from relying fully only on this version until PHP v6 is officially confirmed as a stable release.

Considering the global software world's trend of moving towards language and cultural sensitivity, the most outstanding feature in PHP v6 - the Unicode support - comes as a timely response! For all of you interested in implementing the new PHP support, please, switch to the new version from the 'PHP settings' section in your Web Hosting Control Panel, or simply by running your files with the extension of ".php6".

With compliments, from our company

To the attention of all supremecenter101.com users! The server operating your web hosting services is suffering at the moment temporary unexpected working order disruptions. For the successful resolution of the situation, our administrators had to change the server's IP addresses. The change will take effect online within one hour. User can try, however, to activate the update earlier themselves by deleting the cache of the server with the following console command: cmd.exe -> ipconfig /flushdns. We cannot give you any guarantees that the command will have the necessary effect because the DNS of your Internet Provider may have cached the old server IP address.

Thank you for your understanding in advance! We are doing our best to ensure no further difficulties in this aspect.

Our Technical Department is glad to inform you that the maintenance of servers Supremecenter100.com & Supremecenter101.com has been performed successfully, taking less time than scheduled. Now the servers are back to their normal working status and all the services are up and running online as expected.

We'd like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to you during the procedure and to assure you that these maintenance procedures are carried out with the sole purpose of boosting the performance of our servers.

We'd like to present to your attention more details about the latest service disturbance that you have been experiencing lately with our servers SupCenter100.com and SupCenter101.com. Both servers have been recently incorporated in our hosting platform’s network of servers as an essential part of a future cluster system. We’ve dedicated a great amount of efforts to ensure the trouble-free accomplishment of a data replication system that allows full synchronization between the two cluster-based servers.

The system had been working hassle-free since its integration until 9 PM GMT, yesterday, March 27th, when our administrators located a serious problem with the data replication functionality, largely due to unexpected complications of a network file system and data management nature. Despite our administrators’ timely intervention, we could not prevent the server performance problem from causing downtime to your websites. Immediate system recovery measures were taken, but they turned out to be more time-consuming than expected.

During the problem resolution process and restoration of the data replication system, the temporary full discontinuation of the online services was inevitable. The recovery procedure was completed at around 3 AM GMT and the services were brought back online. However, the performance quality was not restored to its original level until 9 AM GMT, March 28th. Now we can assure you that the servers are fully operational and that the data replication system issue has been completely eliminated.

We'd like to take full responsibility for the server performance problem that you have been encountering and to assure you that no data has been lost during the recovery procedure. Please be informed that we draw lessons from our mistakes and that all necessary steps have been taken to minimize the risk of such disruptions happening again.

Our Technical Department would like to inform you that an upgrade maintenance has been scheduled for tomorrow, March 12th, 2008, for SupCenter100.com server, set to start at 9:00 AM GMT (4:00 AM EST), with an expected downtime of about 30 minutes. The procedure will include addition of a set of brand new HDDs (hard disk drives) to the server hardware set-up, which will ensure better stability and higher-level performance of the server.

We guarantee that the information stored on the server will remain intact during the procedure and would like to thank you in advance for your understanding in this matter. As you are already aware, all maintenance procedures, we occasionally carry out, are aimed at improving the quality of our web hosting services and at boosting the performance of our server network.

We'd like to urgently present to your attention more information about the latest email service disturbance, the server your account is hosted on was suffering last night, in the period between 19:40 GMT+2 - 6:00 GMT+2, and give you correct explanation of the situation.

The e-mail functionality interruption was caused by a series of continual mail server requests, that is great amount of faulty mail server requests at a time, leading to very high load volumes and inbound/outbound service disruption.

With our administrators' timely intervention, the problem was quickly diagnosed and corrective measures were immediately taken. During the time-consuming resolutioning process, the temporary full discontinuation of the SMTP and the partial unavailability of the POP3/IMAP servers were inevitable. Our administrators had to manually block flooding IP addresses in order to make sure that no legitimate requests are denied access to our mail servers. It might have been much more time-saving to use the automated ways of access-blocking, however that would have surely led to the blocking of entire networks with IP addresses not connected in any way with the problem. After the flooding was successfully deflected at 70-75%, our administrators' were able to block all connections to the server for around 3 hours to retain the low load volumes and process faster the pending mail queue. During that period the SMTP service was completely unavailable while the POP3/IMAP retained partial availability.

Thanks to the urgent measures taken, our administrators managed to retrieve all e-mails received prior to, during and after the mail server disruption, and the ones that made it to the mail queue. All of these e-mails have been successfully delivered to the corresponding mail boxes. E-mails that did not reach the mail queue were bounced back to the sender's mail server, leaving a corresponding temporary unavailability notice.

We take the full responsibility for the email functionality problem that you have been encountering during the up-mentioned period and would like to assure you that all necessary steps are now taken to be reduced the risk of such disruptions happening again and to be lowered the amount of any eventual damages.

Dear customers, due to rescheduling of the SupCenter49.com and SupCenter100.com maintenance from our USA Data Center, the cluster attachment of the servers, that had to be performed today, has been shifted and is to be carried out in 2 weeks time. As soon as we have detailed information, we shall let you know about the exact date and time of the maintenance scheduled.

To the attention of all our present and prospective clients! We are happy to inform you that an important implementation is soon to come - bright new File Manager will be integrated in our system! The innovative and thoroughly updated version will have many new facilitative functions, some of them probably expected, and some of them complete surprise.

The new File Manager was developed by our professionals to suit the utmost requirements for ease, convenience and user-friendly interface. Key basis for its creation was the need for better navigation, facilitation, time-saving and visualization tools. Enormous emphasize was laid on some significantly important aspects regarding its upload functionality and editing system tools. Basically for the first time you will have an opportunity to upload ZIP/RAR files with Auto-Unzip in the pre-selected folder, and to visually keep track of the uploading process by means of displayed status bars. Also unprecedented is the function, to be included in the advantageous tooltip interconnections menu, to edit your files with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor and to view them directly on the web.

The new version of the File Manager is scheduled to be officially released within a month. Let's go now through a short review of the complete pack of functions that are to be expected, in case you would like to feedback us in advance:

• All parts of the history path name will be links (e.g. www/mydomain.com/myfolder/) - providing fast access to each level of the directory path of your files;
• A new Fast Access section will be placed on the right - by means of a drop-down menu will be ensured fast navigation through all folders of your current vhost (virtual host), and also fast access to all your main domains and subdomains;
• All file names will be links, opening smart tooltips displaying the full range of actions that can be performed. The smart tooltip will automatically recognize whether the file is editable or not, and will accordingly display the Editing option with WYSIWYG editor or in plain text. The option to view your file directly on the web will be included, as well;
• The file info field will be better organized and will display the 'name', 'size', 'permissions' and 'modified' records again, together with Edit/Move/Delete buttons added at the right end of the field;
• The upload file boxes will have new intelligent structure, as well. The permitted size of the files will remain the same, but new option will be provided for ZIP/RAR folders upload, with automatic unzip. After the uploading has started, visual graphic display of the uploading process will be provided for you to keep you informed of the stages;
• The multi-selection buttons will be at your disposal again;
• 'Disk Usage' field will graphically display up-to-date information of how much disk space you have utilized, and how much remains unused.

With the implementation of the new File Manager, we aim at setting new high criteria for intelligent interconnections and user-friendly interface. As you are already aware, this has always been our purpose, and we shall continue to work in this direction in the future, as well.

Our Technical Department would like to inform you that the previously announced upgrade maintenance for SupCenter10.co.uk is going to be performed on February 5th, 2008. The maintenance is scheduled for 9:00 AM GMT (4:00 AM EST) and will continue 4 hours, with around 2 hours of expected downtime.

The procedure will include replacement of the hard disk drives with brand new ones that boast much better functionality and speed values. In result the server performance will be improved so much that the current occasional timeouts, which you might have been facing from time to time, will be eliminated.

Tomorrow will be carried out the first stage of the HDD-replacement procedure and if it turns out to be less time-consuming than expected - we'll proceed to the HDDs change completion within the afore-mentioned period. Otherwise, we'll execute the second stage of the maintenance on February 6th, from 9:00 AM GMT (4:00 AM EST). We shall provide you with more details as soon as we get real-time information from our Data Center administrators.

We'd like to assure that no data will be lost during the maintenance and that all these procedures are aimed at increasing the quality of our web hosting services.

To the attention of all our clients! As we announced recently, after mid-February our company is becoming VAT registered! The official VAT registration, and respectively the date from which the new VAT tax will be charged, has been scheduled for 1 March 2008. However, it will be our duty to confirm the date well in advance.

We would like to present to your attention now more detailed information about the new VAT scheme that will come into force from the beginning of March. Hereby we shall explicate all clauses in our future billing and invoicing policy. And most importantly, we shall differentiate the cases that will reflect the VAT changes, and those (that is the bigger part) that will remain the same.

To bring here once again clarity upon the VAT classification groups, all clients are to be referred to as Businesses or Individuals. Thus:

1. UK VAT at 17.5% is applicable to: Businesses (no VAT/VAT registered) and Individuals from the United Kingdom; and Individuals from the European Union.
2. Clients where VAT is applicable but WILL NOT affect the service pricing (i.e. equals to NIL): Businesses from the European Union.
3. Clients outside the scope of VAT: non-EU clients (Businesses and Individuals).

IMPORTANT for clients defined as VAT applicable, according to the above clarified classification: After 1 March 2008, UK VAT at 17.5 % will be applicable to all service prices in your future money-related actions, and you will be served by new VAT Order Forms, adequate to the new VAT financial relations.

To give here visual examples of the price calculations that will be displayed in the new VAT Order Forms, a $100.00 USD value will be used in all cases to explain the purchasing of a web hosting account:

• Individual Client from the UK (in accordance with item 1 of the 'VAT Classification Groups'):
  
  Amount Due: $100.00 USD
  VAT 17.5%: $17.50 USD
  Total: $117.50 USD


• Business Client from the UK (in accordance with item 1 of the 'VAT Classification Groups'):
  
  Amount Due: $100.00 USD
  VAT 17.5%: $17.50 USD
  Total: $117.50 USD


• Individual Client from an EU country, but not from the UK (in accordance with item 1 of the 'VAT Classification Groups'):
  
  Amount Due: $100.00 USD
  VAT 17.5%: $17.50 USD
  Total: $117.50 USD


• Business Client from an EU country, but not from the UK (in accordance with item 2 of the 'VAT Classification Groups'):
  
  Amount Due: $100.00 USD
  VAT 17.5%: $0.00 USD
  Total: $100.00 USD

IMPORTANT for all clients remaining outside the scope of VAT, according to the above clarified classification: Service prices will remain VAT unaffected and you will continue to be served by Regular non-VAT Order Forms.

Upon each purchase all clients will continue to receive a type-a invoice. The new type-a invoices will reflect the VAT changes when the client is VAT applicable.

As we have already prepared for launching all VAT system updates in terms of billing (pricing, order forms) and invoicing, our Technical Department has decided to activate some of them ONLINE earlier in advance, so as to have plenty of time to collect your feedback and to monitor the operating of the system. For that purpose, AS OF TODAY, in all Order Forms the VAT price field will be featuring with $0.00 value, simply informatively, as no VAT is to be charged until 1 March 2008.

As you hopefully see, we tried to adapt our system to the new VAT clauses with a minimum of new introductions and updates. We will do our best to make the VAT integration process fluent and easy for all parties. Please, follow our news section for up-to-date information and should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

We are glad to announce that a new update has been made to the functionality of RoundCube. You are now able to change the password of your mailbox wherever you are, simply by logging into your RoundCube mailbox and changing the password settings from the 'Personal Settings' section.

We hope that the new feature will bring flexibility and convenience for all. Please, feel free to contact us should you notice any discrepancies in the new option functioning. Our developers will continue to work on solutions for further improved e-mail management.

Dear customers,

We would like to inform you of slight changes in the pricing of .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .US and .INFO TLDs (top-level domain names) that might be expected in result of the new pricing policy of their registries. On Sunday, October 14th, 2007, VeriSign, Afilias, Neulevel and Public Interest Registry registries increased the prices of the top-level domain names that they are offering (the aforementioned TLDs). We tried to preserve our pricing unchanged for as long as possible, and though now, after a few months, small changes in our prices for domain registrations/transfers will inevitably have to be made, we shall do our best, as always, to stay true to our policy of offering reasonably affordable costs.

Please, refer to any slight changes you may notice in our domain names registrations/transfers pricing list of COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .US and .INFO TLDs as an unavoidable consequence of the registries' official policy. Thank you very much for your understanding, please do not hesitate to feedback us, as soon as you have any comments or suggestions in regards!

For us, 2007 was an intensive year, fulfilled with new entries, brilliant ideas and fruitful collaboration between you and us. Throughout these 12 months of hard work we were completely devoted in our efforts to keep higher and competitive the level of our web hosting system, and to provide better and more interesting opportunities for you - our clients. Eyeing back on the year, we are happy to acknowledge that all our efforts had been worth making, in terms of numerous innovations implemented, as well as upgrades performed. Big part of those were inspired by the valuable feedback you were sending us, together with your highly appreciated recommendations. Let's preserve this rate of supportive work and collaboration also throughout the new year and cast an eye back now at some of our most important 2007 events.

Most radically reformed was the Domain Manager. It now provides opportunity for full control of your hosted domains through centralized management of all features (multi-year registration and renewal, transfer, hosting, DNS, parking, Lock/Unlock, WHOIS, ID Protection, EPP).

The recently updated Custom DNS Records section also supports now extended functionality. You are able to set CNAME, AAAA and TXT records, as well as additional NS, MX and A records.

Substantially renewed is the Upgrade section of the WHCP (Web Hosting Control Panel). The Add Services range of features has been enhanced. The interface of the Upgrade Plan and Renew Plan functionality fields is now much friendlier.

A new section was introduced - Set up New Account, enabling you, upon need, to immediately purchase a new web hosting account.

Special attention was paid to our Elefante (Free Scripts) Installer. It was upgraded to a new version, containing better features and more user-friendly interface.

An Administration Tools section was differentiated, with its latest implementation - the .htaccess generator, supplying you with an advanced tool for generating .htaccess files.

Two new languages - Dutch and Romanian - were introduced to the language family of the WHCP. A new link - Visit Store, was added, as well, providing a direct connection to our dynamic up-to-date service offerings.

The Round Cube webmail software was added to the Web Mail tools currently in use for web-based e-mail management.

Great number of TLD extensions (top-level domain names) was added to the list of domains available for registration/transfer in your WHCP, together with WHOIS / ID Protect Service activated and multiple domain registrations/renewals for multiple years.

Throughout the past year our network administrators invested a great amount of efforts in improving the performance of our servers - the "backbone" of our web hosting system. Together with the adding of new servers, a few hardware and software (php 5 and MySQLv5 library) upgrades were carried out.

Special attention was focused on the rejuvenation of our billing system, aimed at substantial tightening of its efficiency regarding the payment verifications and order processings. The switching to multi-currency billing and the PayPal Pro payments solution now guarantee you increased stability and higher level of security in the processing of your incoming payments through our Web Store or through your Web Hosting Control Panel.

For us, 2007 had been a fruitful year, fulfilled with benefits. And bringing to mind the rich array of projects and ideas already scheduled to be performed, we dare say that, even from this early time-point of view, 2008 already outlines as an incredibly interesting year, packed with events. Let us slightly "uplift the curtains" for those of you who most impatiently await:

We would like to inform you that SupCenter7 and SupCenter9 servers will be under maintenance on Thursday, for the period from 10.00 AM to 02.00 PM GMT (05.00 to 09.00 AM EST). The downtimes expected should last not more than 4 hours for SupremeCenter9 and about 30 minutes for SupremeCenter7 and for that time all webhosting services (Control Panel, E-Mails, FrontPage, Site Studio, etc.) will be inaccessible. Please accept our apologies in advance for any inconvenience that these may cause to you. We would like ensure you, however, that all this is to be done in order to improve the performance of the servers and to secure the reliability of our webhosting services.

We would like to inform you that the substantial hardware upgrade of SC301.com, that had been recently cancelled, has now been re-scheduled and is to be performed on Wednesday 28th, from 01:00 PM to 07:00 PM (08:00 AM to 02:00 PM EST). The expected downtime is 2 hours during which all webhosting services will be unavailable. We would like to apologize in advance for the inconvenience that this may cause and to reassure you that all the data stored on the server will not be affected in any way!

We would like to announce that on Friday, November 23, between 09:00 and 12:00 AM GMT (04:00 - 07:00 AM EST) support of MySQL v5 library will be added to the PHP v4 and v5 available at present on our servers. Although we are not expecting this upgrade to result in any problems, our system administrators will first perform this procedure only on SupremeCenter7 and SupremeCenter47 servers and will then take a final decision as to whether the upgrade could be applied to all our servers. All web hosting services (websites, e-mails, Control Panel, etc.) are to suffer a downtime of about 1 hour. Please, accept our apologies!

We would like to inform you that, due to problems with the chassis needed for the addition of the new hard-disk drives, the upgrade of SC301, scheduled for November 20, was not completed. Currently the server is working without any problems and we will re-schedule the activities as soon as the necessary parts are delivered. Thank you for your patience regarding this matter!

The .DE TLD has been made available for registration and management in the Control Panel. This is the TLD for Germany and we believe that its implementation will meet the needs of our customer from Germany. It is worth mentioning that the registry of this domain, DENIC, has a few special requirements for the registration and management of .DE domain names and here you can learn about them.

WHOIS / Contact Information:In order to approve a registration request, the registry has set a requirement for street address or P.O. Box within Germany in the administrative contact section. To fulfill this requirement, an additional step has been added after the WHOIS information Please note that the .DE registry, DENIC may not approve the registration if the address is not correct.
Registration Period:The registration period varies between 1 to 10 years. Renewals for multiple years are possible as well.
Domain Renewal:.DE domain name can be renewed successfully up to 10 days before the expiration date. When less than 10 days are left to the domain's expiration date, it gets a "Transit" status and the registry attempts to contact the registrant. If, after 4 weeks, there is no response, the domain is transferred to DENICdirect for further management and the registrant must contact then, in order to renew the domain name.
WHOIS / ID Protection:This service is not applicable for .DE domain names.
Registrar Change / Transfer:It is not possible to change the registrar of .DE domain names.

We believe that the information that we have provided would be sufficient to clarify the situation with the .DE domain names. In the Register / Transfer tab of the Domain Manager, there is a TLD Info page where one can find a detailed review of all TLDs on offer.

In the next three days SupremeCenter7.com will undergo maintenance for the purpose of adding new HDDs (hard disk drives) and the performing of other activities, which is expected to cause two or three downtimes of about one hour to all web hosting services. Please, accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

We would like to bring to your attention that maintenance of the SC301.com server will be performed on Tuesday, November 20. The maintenance is scheduled to start at 13:00 GMT and last no more than 6 hours (from 08:00 to 14:00 EST). The estimated downtime is not expected to exceed 2 hours for all services (websites, e-mails, FTP, control panel, etc.). The reason for the maintenance is the need of urgent h
