How to Install WordPress through cPanel

By Sabrina June 7, 20131:36 pm

While cPanel is one of the most popular and easy to use control panel solutions available online, WordPress enjoys a similar level of fame as a content management system.  What started as a platform for bloggers – it still is, of course – quickly became one of the most popular interfaces for managing a website, to the point where it is estimated 10-12% of all websites are powered by WordPress today.
One characteristic that has driven the popularity of WordPress has been the ease of use and installation that it shares with cPanel.  Webmasters and site owners are increasingly using both in conjunction with each other.  The great thing for these groups is that they lose nothing in the way of ease of use or convenience when doing so; installing WordPress into a cPanel is easy. While cPanel is able to take care of the installation for you, you can always do it yourself in a very short space of time – typically around five minutes.
Getting Ready for WordPress
What do you need to do to ensure that your cPanel is ready to install your WordPress application?
•    The first step is to ensure that your hosting company and your server plan actually supports WordPress.  If you knew that you were going to use WordPress, then chances are you would have made sure of this before signing a hosting deal.  Most hosting companies do support WordPress in the modern day, but it is always worth checking whether there are any parameters that you need to consider.
•    Prepare everything you need ahead of time.  Download the WordPress package, unzip the folder and save it to your computer.  You may be able to download WordPress directly to your web server using ‘wgnt,’ although if you are a inexperienced at carrying out such operations then you might be better going the hard drive route.
Should you download WordPress to your computer, it will extract to another file titled ‘wordpress,’ from which you will find everything you need to move forward.
Database Creation
The next step is to create your database and user configuration; you should follow these steps:

JaguarPC Explains the Pros and Cons of Windows Web Hosting

By Sabrina June 3, 20131:33 pm

Researching and finding a leading web hosting services provider can be an arduous process.  Naturally, you will spend a lot of time considering the various options and looking at how they fit the requirements of your website.  This will mean thinking about different servers, working out the bandwidth and disk space that you need and potentially other added aspects that you may need should you be looking to launch an e-commerce site.
One aspect that you might not have considered is the operating system you wish to use within your hosting package.  While there are a number of options available to you, Windows and Linux are the two most popular examples currently on the market.
Before making your decision, however, you want to know what you are getting with each one.  This guide will take you through some of the pros and cons of Windows web hosting while enabling you to make an educated and well-informed decision when the time arises.
Windows Web Hosting: Pros
Reliability
Although Linux hosting holds the market leading reputation for reliable web hosting, Windows has made huge improvements on this front in recent years.  In addition, if you are a small business owner with multiple websites, it is easy to manage them all from one place with Windows hosting.  You will also be free to create any sub-domains that you want, and use robust databases to operate and support most of your operation.
Compatibility
Many people choose to utilize Windows web hosting because of its obvious compatibility with other Windows operating systems.  This is also one of the biggest benefits, as it means you can work with .NET, ASP, FrontPage, Windows Streaming, and MSSQL.
Using all of these, you will easily be able to design and build an intuitive website that scores highly in user experience owing to better page speed and loading times, which is great for customer retention as well as search engine optimization.
Business Management
Windows hosting is great for running and managing several aspects of your business through your server.  Although this does not have much impact in terms of your actual website, it definitely is a worthwhile added bonus that will serve to make your life easier.

Pros and Cons of Linux Web Hosting

By Sabrina May 30, 201312:34 pm

If you thought that choosing a web-hosting package was merely a case of deciding between shared, VPS, or dedicated hosting, then it is time to think again.  While those represent the biggest and most important choice that many people will make, choosing the web-hosting platform or software option that will enable them to create a powerful, effective website that will enable them to meet their online objectives.
Despite the emergence of a variety of hosting platforms in recent years, Linux and Windows hosting remain the two most popular options in what is becoming an increasingly crowded market.  All of these options have a number of pros and cons, although their overall impact may differ depending on the experience of each website owner and their reasons for choosing a particular operating system. On this occasion, we have explored the pros and cons of Linux web hosting.

Linux Web Hosting: Pros
Open Source Advantages
Linux is an example of open source software, meaning that many aspects that you might use to build a Linux hosted site are available free.  This will appeal to anyone who is mindful of the money they are spending on designing, building, and developing their website, especially if they have already paid for a dedicated server option, for example.
Linux is also great for giving your site much more variety and thinking about using additional applications and plugins to enhance the user experience and performance of the site.  Those using MySQL, PHP, and Perl scripts will find that Linux is compatible with all three of them; this is useful for site owners who might choose their platform based on what it offers, rather than choosing a platform first and then hiring someone to work within those parameters.
Overall, Linux probably is the most exciting option for anyone looking to experiment with a wide range of software and features on their website.
Reputation
If you are considering using Linux, then the chances are that you have already heard about the platform’s excellent reputation for reliability and security.  Although scheduled server downtime is a regular feature of Linux hosting, this helps to drive the performance of the platform at all other times.  The reputation that Linux has for being secure and efficient is one of the biggest reasons behind its popularity.
Linux Web Hosting: Pro or Con?
Examining the Cost
As we mentioned earlier, due to the status of Linux as open source software, a lot of it is free to download and use.  However, this does not automatically mean that you will enjoy an overall cheaper web-hosting package.
It is always worth consulting with a web hosting company first, so you understand what you are getting and know whether you will incur any additional liabilities.  Yes, Linux software might be free to download and use, but will you have to pay to use the plugins and exciting aspects that you want to include beyond the basic means?
Even if you do end up paying a small fee, it is likely that you would still save money against the cost of an alternative operating system.  Therefore, we will call this a pro, so long as you have examined everything fully and know what any costs will be.
Linux Web Hosting: Cons
Migrating can be Difficult
If you are already using another operating system, such as Windows, it can be difficult to change to Linux hosting.  One of the main reasons for this is that, while there are several scripts and features that you can use on both platforms, as well as others, some only work on one or the other, or the performance is much better on certain software.  Therefore, Linux is often best as a ‘starting point’ for a website, although in fairness you could probably make that argument in respect of Windows and other operating systems, too.
Unfamiliarity
Should your desktop operating system be Windows or something else, it can be difficult to adapt to the differences that Linux brings.  Learning and mastering everything you need to know to build a great website can take time, even if you are reasonably well experienced when it comes to website design and development.
As a balance to this point, learning how to use a Linux platform could well be beneficial if you are able to commit yourself to it.  If nothing else, it will enable you to get an idea of how well you enjoy working on one or more platforms and decide which one you prefer.
Development
Proprietary web hosting software, such as Windows, tends to be developed and released to users quicker than Linux.
Is Linux Hosting Worth It?
Ultimately, whether you want to use Linux hosting will depend on your own preferences more than anything else.  At the very least, you should take the time to explore Linux and discover whether it is something you can work with.

Top 5 cPanel Themes for Your Hosting Panel

By Sabrina May 24, 20133:01 pm

cPanel is one of the world’s most popular control panel solutions.  Despite its popularity, users have an excellent opportunity to enhance their cPanel experience by using either a paid or a free cPanel theme to brighten up their control panel.
One popular step to take is to pay a developer to create a branded cPanel theme based on our business so that it clearly associates with what you do.  Naturally, branded cPanel themes are all going to be different and specific to the specifications of each business, and may contain images, logos, marketing slogans, or something else relevant to the company.  However, several generic themes are available to give your cPanel account a fresh look and make your site in general easier and more fun to manage.
What are the top 5 cPanel themes for your hosting panel?
Clean Panel
This cPanel theme is one that definitely lives up to its name.  Available in three colors, this theme is simple and to the point, making it easy for cPanel users to find their way around their control panel and make updates as and when they need to do so.
Clean Panel makes use of the space available on the control panel page to make everything stand out, and it is compatible with all third party cPanel add-ons.  At the same time, users can continue to customize their Clean Panel interface however they want to do so, while anyone who also uses cPanel’sWeb Host Manager (WHM) receives the theme for that platform, too.
RVSkin
RVSkin is one of the more advanced examples of cPanel themes, allowing you to fully customize all aspects of your interface.  RVSkin’s own control panel does offer a number of pre-installed themes, however, so you can take advantage of these and upload your logo, a photograph, and other branded assets to feature on your cPanel should you wish to do so.
Although it can give a distinct appearance specific for your brand, it is probably not as good as Clean Panel in terms of smartening up the cPanel interface and really driving the user-friendly aspect of the control panel.  This is definitely better for aesthetics rather than making cPanel easier to use.
Element
This cPanel theme is available from cpskins.com, and is the best of the 13 that they have on offer.  ‘Element’ will give your cPanel interface a complete makeover and give it an intuitive, easy to understand and navigate appearance so that you and other users can find exactly what they need with the minimum of fuss.
For a modern, stylish looking cPanel, this theme is a great choice.
X4
X4 comes from cPanel itself, and is definitely a theme worth considering.  While it will eventually become the front-end cPanel theme, those who already use cPanel will be able to download it and add it into their account.  For those who struggle to find what they are looking for, the built in search function will prove to be a great help, while the way X4 is laid out into three columns with data, icons, and finally news is sensible and ensures that users never miss anything they need to see.
Concise
Another cPanel theme from CPSkins, this one is better for advanced users who do not need to have icons in front of them at all times in order to find what they are looking for.  It does allow users to specify their own quick links, however, so any features that are regularly used can be collated in one place on the main screen.
Your cPanel Theme
cPanel is an excellent control panel solution.  Using a theme, either an updated one from cPanel themselves or a third party one, will help to smarten up your cPanel interface and make the whole service a lot sharper and easier for you and anyone else to use.

Choosing a Web Hosting Service for a Large Business

By Sabrina May 7, 201312:50 pm

Choosing the best web hosting service possible is important for businesses of all sizes.  Due to the differences in the dynamics between small and large businesses, there will also be a different approach to each when it comes to choosing effective web hosting services.
Naturally, there are going to be certain things that every business wants, such as excellent support services and a variety of options with their account.
What might the biggest differences be?
•    Server requirements will likely be different
•    Large businesses might also require integration with an internal intranet system
•    Smaller companies might not mind having host advertisements integrated as they are not at a stage where they need to be ‘brand aware’
•    Large businesses will likely have bigger websites and a larger, more complex design
Large Business Web Hosting
Those differences aside, many of the considerations will be the same.  However, it is the wider impact of the decisions taken that is the big issue when it comes to web hosting for large businesses. At the same time, it can be easy for large businesses to find themselves paying a lot more than they need to, as they do not fully understand their own requirements.  This is not usually a problem experienced by businesses with an in-house IT team looking after online operations.  Expanding businesses, in particular, can fall into these traps, which is dangerous given that expansion can make a business vulnerable anyway. What should large businesses avoid and consider carefully?  What elements should they look out for?
Assuming a Dedicated Server Need
On the web hosting scale of potential options, the easy way to look at it is to say smaller businesses should use a shared server, and as the business gets bigger they move up to VPS or dedicated hosting. In itself, that is not a bad outlook to have.  However, one should not assume that a large business has to have a dedicated server.  Today’s VPS hosting opportunities offer an experience close to that of dedicated hosting.  Check out the prices, too.  While there might not be much to choose between a top VPS deal and a basic dedicated one, the gap between the top ends of the markets can be huge. A VPS hosting solution can work for a large business if their traffic is healthy but not out of this world in terms of numbers.  Of course, if a business is expecting thousands of visitors a day, traffic to come in large peaks rather than a moderate flow, or has an extensive e-commerce catalog, then a dedicated server is the best choice. The trick is not to assume.
Web Hosting and Disk Space
Large businesses should only use and pay for the space they need; but they should also know there is room for flexibility for adding additional features, such as an e-commerce platform or a forum, to their site. Costs will again be a key consideration.  Business owners who are not especially savvy when it comes to online operations would do well to consult with someone who is – again, not a problem if there is an in-house IT team present.  Large businesses should also remember to follow the principles that a small business owner or entrepreneur would to save money, such as compressing files and code, for example, which reduce the need for physical resources. The best approach to take is to find a web hosting company that tells you how much disk space you are paying for, and is giving you a realistic figure, rather than one offering wild promises of unlimited space and functions.
Use the Professionals
This is a two-pronged instruction.  We have mentioned in-house IT teams twice; it is impossible to understate how important they can be.  If a large business does not have such a team, then hiring a designer or developer to help identify the best web hosting solution is definitely worthwhile.  Even on a short term contract, bringing someone on board who can get involved with the brand values and objectives of a business can make a real difference against a freelancer, for example. Most web hosting companies do a great job of marketing themselves; seeking further professional advice will factor a persons’ own knowledge and perhaps even personal experiences, and really allow a large business to make the right choice.
Often Ignored Web Hosting Advice
Our second prong relates to the hosting company itself.  Even large businesses are prone to hasty decision making which ultimately leads to problems down the line, whether this relates to cost as it most often does or something else. While there are a number of small and emerging hosting companies that might offer a great service or become a major name in the future, is that a risk a large business can afford to take, or should be taking, with their brand? Yes, small businesses need support to grow – every large business was a small business once –but today’s large business is better seeking out an established name in the web hosting industry, with a history and reputation for delivering.
Choosing the Best Hosting Service
To secure the best web hosting service, a large business simply needs to avoid assumptions and seek out an established name in the industry.  It is worth remembering that while a cheap service usually results in a poor experience, an expensive one does not automatically guarantee a high-quality one. If a large business avoids paying for things they do not necessarily need, and secures the necessary resources for their operations, whether they are aiming to convert their customers online, offline, or both, then they will find suitable web hosting services easy to find and work with.

What is Web Hosting?

By Sabrina April 17, 201312:43 pm

If you are looking to launch a website, for whatever reason, then you have probably heard of web hosting.  Those who are novices when it comes to online platforms might even have answered a question related to web hosting by saying, “Yes, I will be looking into web hosting as soon as I have launched my site.”  The knowledgeable ones amongst you will already know how ludicrous and ridiculous that is, but if you really do not know the first thing about web hosting, let us introduce you to what it is, as well as the main options available to you.

Answering the Big Question
Web hosting is what allows a website to happen.  Sorting out web hosting when you have launched a site is impossible to do; you need a web hosting service before you can get a site started.  Of course, you can ‘sort’ your web hosting if your servers are not doing what you want them to at a later date, but for all intents and purposes, it is the first thing you will do.

What Does a Web Host Do?
A web hosting company provides you with the space you need in order to put your website onto the internet.  You can have some great designs and killer SEO content, but without a top web hosting service, they mean little. A web host provides the platform, in the form of servers, for you to put your message out to the world across a powerful, and ideally fast, network.

How Important is a Web Host?
This sounds extreme, but a web host can help to make or break your website.  Whenever a search spider or a human visitor comes to your site, several aspects of their experiences are reliant on your web server being at the standard it needs to be. When a browser types your domain name into Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, your web host’s server springs into life to give the person looking for your site the best experience possible. A web host and your server will directly influence the appearance of your website, page loading times, and even the variety of content you can feature on your website.

Web Hosting Features
Web hosting companies will all offer a variety of different features and functions, so that they are as appealing as possible to individuals and businesses who might be seeking out their services.

Common aspects of a web hosting service might include:
•    The control panel – this will differ in appearance from one web host to another, but will house many similar functions related to updating or even building a website
•    Email functions, where you can manage email addresses linked with your domain name
•    Various reports regarding your hosting, including performance analysis in terms of your server, as well as figures such as visitor numbers and the average time spent on each page.  Again, the range of reports and their scope may differ from one host to another.

The Range of Web Hosting Options
While we have an outline of what web hosting is, we now need to look at the different types of web hosting, and understand how they can make a big difference to a website.  The different web hosting solutions are related to the servers they use.  While cloud and hybrid servers are starting to become popular, the three main options are these:
•    Shared servers
•    Virtual private servers (VPS)
•    Dedicated servers
So that you understand each one and start to get an idea of which option might be the best fit for your business, we have provided an outline of each.

Shared Servers
This is the cheapest and most basic option, that might be used by someone looking to build a small blog following, play around with web design, or who just wants to know what it is like to own a website. If you go for a shared server solution, your website will be housed on a server with several other – this could be hundreds – websites where the resources available, such as bandwidth and disk space, are shared between all of the sites.  A shared server can be the least flexible option, although most of the time your web host will look after maintenance and usage options. At face value, a shared server is cheaper and easier to use, but the downsides will often come home to roost later, especially when you are looking to grow your site.

Virtual Private Servers
VPS is the middle ground between a shared and a dedicated solution.  You will often see it sold as having the benefits of dedicated hosting for the price of a shared option.  That is true to some extent, but it needs exploring further.  If it were 100% accurate, we would render dedicated servers obsolete!
While your site is still on a shared server, you get the resources you need for your site to run effectively when you have the traffic demand heading to your domain.  This is partly facilitated by fewer sites being featured on the same server, however the servers themselves are likely to be more powerful than those use in shared hosting.
You will pay more for a virtual private server, but will feel much more in control of your site performance without having to pay the sum that you might have had you chosen a dedicated server.

Dedicated Hosting
This does what it says on the tin.  When you sign a dedicated hosting agreement, the whole server is yours, and the resources attached to it are solely focused on making your site as efficient and as high-performance as possible.If you are lacking in technical knowledge or expertise, we recommend paying a higher sum to enjoy a managed service, as doing it yourself can cause all manner of problems if you are unsure of what you are doing.
Given the increased power and resources you will enjoy with a dedicated hosting service, you will pay more for such a solution.  However, you will quickly find that your service pays for itself, especially if you are running an ecommerce business or another site that attracts a high volume of visitors.

What If You Use Hybrid or Cloud Services?
Hybrid or cloud services are only slightly different to those we have explored so far, although they can have a range of benefits to website owners.
Generally, hybrid hosting combines elements of VPS with dedicated hosting, further enhancing the power and functionality that is enjoyed by website that might have previously been on a VPS.  The cost of a hybrid solution will be higher than a VPS platform, but will ultimately depend on how many dedicated elements are built into a particular service plan.
The biggest difference with cloud servers is that websites tend to be hosted across a number of servers rather than on just one physical server.  This can make cloud hosted websites more reliable, as if one server shuts down, a site can easily take resources from another until the original one is working again.  VPS and dedicated options are usually available on the cloud.

Choosing a Server
Choosing the correct server solution for your site is easy as long as you are realistic with what you need.  Now that you understand what web hosting is, ensure that you choose the server most able to meet the demands of your website.  Remember that the benefits of a more powerful platform will easily outweigh the costs if your site performs as you predict.  Focusing too much on cost will leave you, and your website visitors, well undersold.

Enterprise Expansion (Atlanta Cage3)

By Jag April 9, 20132:10 pm

Before we begin, this has taken a long time to plan and I’m excited to share this story, provide all the tech specs and details we geeks love, and blast out pictures and video.

Why the new cage?

Thanks to all our clients over the 15yrs we have continued to grow and demand more space and particularly more power from our data centers. In Atlanta, we had two older cages from yesteryear that began on 110v power and reached their capacity in power long before space. In addition servers have changed alot since those cages were first setup, when we started with towers then but today and for many years every new server has been a new lower power consumption (though much more powerful) rackmount server.

The big objective was to get all our clients updated to our latest colo build, 208v, and specific pdu’s and switches that our staff and systems love and have grown accustom to but also require more capacity. So we found ourselves in the process over years of trying to get rid of old machines, towers, older cpu’s in exchange for the newer ones.

We use two data centers currently in Atlanta, AtlantaNap where we first opened our Atlanta presence and also ColoAT. We found ourselves in a unique situation with AtlantaNap the newest half of the facility received massive injections of upgrades and updates to become a premier health care facility. If you know anything about health care, you know they require all the perks for data. Our data center also needed space in the older area to improve upon its lacking power infrastructure.

So we gave up our older cages in exchange for new ones in the new space and took this chance to get all clients over to the 208v pdu, HP/Cisco routing/switching, and that promised backend we began but has taken a while to build out at all our locations for all clients. This is our project: setup a new cage with all new gear, fix any existing patchwork along the way, physically move all rackmount systems from our older cages to this newer one and to move all clients on a tower based system to a newer rackmount one in the new cage.

What kind of preparation goes into this?

An insane amount of planning has taken place for this from June 2012 up to and including last minute changes in Jan 2013. We have to coordinate with all our vendors to have the cage setup on time, power provided on time, distributed as we want, all our equipment and servers arrive ready to be racked on time, and get into a smooth “grind” of how to move nearly a thousand servers at this one location, from spot A to spot B.

First, what are we moving? We audit all our servers to prepare an accurate accounting of what was where, and where is it now, so throughout the process techs, clients, and NOCC admins can all find what they need. So we build a master list and begin to sort it via VLAN, comparing power draw @110v in the old cage to power @208v in the new cage, which actually runs from private pdu’s @ 3phase 480v. Anyway that’s nerd talk for lots of power. Multiple 100kva pdu’s are needed to fill this cage.

Ok, so when we know how many we are moving, we determine where and what power that will draw. Then we build our power plan on how to reach peek deficiency. This includes a mix of what type of server are we moving, is a small 1 drive 1u, or a mid 8xdrive 2u, or one of these 16 disk systems. Load each cabinet up heaviest and most power hungry at the bottom thinning to the top until we get our peak server per cabinet & power per cabinet usage. The two are designed to be one and the same. i.e. if you fill our cabinets copying the way each looks from purely aesthetics 2u’s, 1u’s you’ll find you can fill the cabinet fully and reach our ideal range of power consumption.

Well we better get rid of some of these really old things in the process, they will likely be the ones to give us problems anyhow. So we tally up how many potential problems we might have on our hands and order our servers, switches, pdu’s, cabinets, colo & power. The project’s tentative start date is set a few months out. This plan will be revised and scrutinized many times over before the start date.

We’re going to have to safe and cleanly power down each system one at a time, take it out of the rack, cart it over to the new cage, re-rack and re-wire it there. First, we plan to come in and start prewiring everything the first week.We know some systems won’t come back up on boot, they just won’t. Some systems haven’t had a reboot in 500,800,1100 days, we don’t know what will happen for sure with that. We also know through the years of upgrading systems for clients, ourselves, repairing bad hardware, that we may find other anomalies.
Ok, so we’re in Atlanta, we have only just arrived and we are  informed we will be behind already. They aren’t done preparing the cage which was due to be handed over Jan 1st. We had just a physical cage. 
Day – Zero
day 1

They have completed the power runs, cabling trays, most essentials minus the network. We begin to bring in our Dell cabinets, Cisco routers, HP switches, and get to cabling. After a good few days your cage is almost ready, almost.

day 6

What other ways does this help the clients?

This expanded power, expanded networking and expanded backend brings more network capacity. We can and did complete the phase to migrate failover systems to the Cloud as a result of this, and semi-dedicateds are being moved now, which will be done in a few weeks. We have managed to get many of our oldest clients on over to all new gear and this new setup without downtime.

And, this takes us to the last phase of a network project aimed at increasing capacity and reducing risk/downtime, adding more diverse carriers. As part of this there is increased backend capacity for offloading all backup processes, combined with the completion of Iderav5 recently, has provided remarkably improved backups.

Which takes us full circle the last bit of projects which include removing the tower systems from our inventory which has been ongoing for some time and will be ongoing for months to come.

Why Use Softaculous to Expand Your Web Hosting Plan?

By JaguarPC Guru April 3, 201312:51 pm

Whatever type of business you run, and whatever the nature of your existing website, expansion is the secret to success. Search engine crawlers and your visitors both love a diverse collection of content, but installing, configuring, and maintaining new applications on your site can be time-consuming and complex. Most webmasters understand the need for a blog, message board, streaming video, and interactive features, but lack the time or expertise to set them up.

Softaculous is an automated script installer that can be used to install a wide range of applications. From message boards to content management systems (CMS), Softaculous makes it easier to explore solutions, find the one you need, and launch it with just a few clicks. Distinctively, though, Softaculous includes additional features that can make finding applications and managing them long-term more convenient.

Read on to learn why you should use Softaculous to install applications on your web hosting account – even if you have the expertise to manually install them yourself.

Reap the Benefits of JaguarPC’s New Services and Expansion

By Sabrina April 2, 201310:06 am

Hello to all of our Current and Future JaguarPC Clients,

It is going to be another busy season here at JaguarPC. I spent a good part of the winter down in Atlanta planting more than a few new seeds for the company. The expansion at our data centers in Atlanta let us move into an entirely new cage area where my team and I installed new servers and cabinets which vastly expanded and improved our capabilities to better serve you. The benefits of the expansion should be apparent to everyone by now. Many accounts are now migrated off of older servers and they are now operating on the new ones we set up throughout January and into February. I also made the decision to add an enormous amount of NAS (Network Attached Storage) which allowed JaguarPC to enable the newest version of our backup software across most of our fleet of servers.

While I was delighted to get the new servers installed and everyone moved onto the new systems, the new backup software has me just about as excited, if not more so. The new backup software version will vastly improve our restore methods and times while continuing to bring all of you restore times and services that are beyond the scope of anything that has ever been offered before now. Our customers can take advantage of a new range of restoration services and plans for you own data protection and backups. Make sure you look into the purchase of one of these plans. Although full datalockbox services are not available on all types of servers at this time, backup services for PC’s are now supported. I am already looking forward to the next version of the software being able to support all types of servers.

In addition to a data center expansion and new backup services be sure you look into your cPanel setting if you are on a shared or reseller server.  CloudFlare is now enabled on these servers and the setup is free and it takes only a few clicks to get it setup through your cPanel. I strongly encourage you take advantage of this service which allows you to improve your site’s performance and security. VPS and dedicated users can contact CloudFlare for installation instructions and our technical support team is here to assist you if you have any trouble enabling it yourself. Everyone can enjoy the benefits of this addition to our servers.

All of these changes will allow JaguarPC to continue to bring you the best that hosting has to offer as we enter into a new season where these seeds of change will blossom into a vigorous and revitalized time for all of our customers. The expansion projects at the data centers have been a huge success and I’m pleased with the progress our staff has been able to implement throughout the last few months. Please, take some time to explore the topics of this newsletter to see how JaguarPC is offering to make this one of the best and brightest seasons that we have seen yet.

Enable CloudFlare for Improved Security and Site Performance
JaguarPC has partnered with CloudFlare to help you utilize new technologies to improve your website performance and security. Shared and Reseller plans can easily take advantage of the CloudFlare option through your cPanel interface. VPS and Dedicated users need to only sign up on the CloudFlare site to get more detailed installation instructions. It is free and easy and a new advantage that JaguarPC is bringing to you.

New DataLockBox Services and Backup Plans
Free daily backups are one of the many services that JaguarPC provides to you. But, we still encourage you to keep copies of your own data. Server failures can cause corrupt data and we may not always be able to retrieve your latest updates. Our new backup datalockbox services could be the solution for you. Our newest version for backup solutions is being implemented across our fleet of servers. The new version allows JaguarPC to offer you new backup features.

Let our Dedicated Managed Server Plans Free You of Tedious Tasks
You don’t have to be intimidated by the more complex details that many may think are involved when using a dedicated server. Our managed services can keep your server secure and updated which gives you more time to manage your business and/or the website assoicated with your dedicated server account. You can enjoy the benefits of a dedicated server when you use our managed services which give you two hours of administration time each month. Look into our bargin bin for dedicated server deals. It may be the perfect time for you to make the move to a dedicated server plan.

Our New Version of Backup Software Vastly Improves Restore Times
One area in particular that JaguarPC has been working hard to improve is our overall restoration times when servers fail. We have now enabled the newest version of backup software for hosting providers across most of our server fleet. We have also put together a dedicated backup team and added an industry backup expert to our team. This new solution will eliminate high restore times and provide better and more streamlined services to get your servers back online without hiccups and extended delays.

Did You Know?
Every year over 100 million hard drives fail. While JaguarPC takes every precaution to ensure that your data is safe we still strongly encourage you to keep an offsite backup copy. You can easily obtain backup protection services from JaguarPC. Our backup services won’t let you down when tragic events destroy your data. Your data can be your income or the sum total of years of efforts. The prompt recovery of your information can be priceless. Let us help you find a method that will preserve your efforts and hard work. Contact our sales team today to learn more about what options are available to you.
