Version 2 of our Reseller Control Panel is now officially in production. It introduces a brand new interface and several new features, such as ordering multiple items with a single payment (a shopping cart), and monitoring/management of domains registered with us. We plan to add many new features to the Reseller Control Panel, making it even easier for our resellers to run their hosting business.

We are happy to announce that we increased the resources available to our Business plan. The new Business accounts feature five times more resources: 10GB disk space and 200GB monthly traffic. The upgrade was possible due to the greatly improved server hardware and software that we integrated into our hosting infrastructure. The increased resources will be available to our customers at no additional cost.

The domains hosted on our servers reached 85 000 today. We would just like to thank our customers for the continued support. We believe that our steady growth is a clear indication of the quality of the services that we offer.

As a token of the quality of our services, we have extended our Money-Back Guarantee to 60 days. Our customers now have 60 days during which they can test our service.

The active hosting accounts on our servers have reached 80 000. As always, the steady increase of our customers is accompanied by a gradual increase of the resources we offer with our plans, as well as by new features being developed. We have recently incorporated PHP 5 and MySQL 5 into our services, as well as developed a DNS Manager that allows for easy management of custom DNS records. The continued support of our customers allows us to spare more and more resources toward developing new and exciting features!

After extensive compatibility testing, we have incorporated MySQL 5 into our services. Customers can now use both MySQL 4 and MySQL 5 databases. We have also implemented a Convert tool, that offers a easy way to migrate customer databases from MySQL 4 to MySQL 5.

We have upgraded our hosting plans as follows:
Universal: 1GB webspace / 20GB monthly traffic
Business: 2GB webspace / 40GB monthly traffic

This upgrade has been made without passing any costs to our customers, and all existing accounts will automatically have the new resources available. This substantial increase will allow our customers to expand more effectively, paving the way for future expansions.

We are proud to announce that the domains hosted by ICDSoft are already over 75 000. The constant increase of this number clearly shows the level of service that we are providing.

Based on feedback from our clients, and in order to provide the best possible service, we are pleased to announce that we are introducing a new Universal plan, designed to best fit the needs of our customers. Additionally, we are upgrading the resources allocated to Business plan accounts, and we are now offering new discounts of up to 50%. More information on our new discount scheme can be found here.

Today the number of hosting accounts on our servers reached another milestone. More than 60 000 sites are now hosted on our servers.

All features have been upgraded at no additional cost to you: web space, monthly transfer, databases, ftp users, subdomains, and parked domains. You get more for the same price. Yes, that's right! For $5/mo(Personal plan) and $10/mo(Business plan) you have more web space, traffic and resources for your web site.

- All Personal Hosting Plan users will now enjoy 500MB of webspace and 7GB of monthly bandwidth for their web sites.

The new reseller program also features additional volume discounts. To see all the details, please check our "Resellers page".

We are glad to announce that we have integrated a new anti-virus feature into our system. When enabled, the anti-virus software will scan all incoming messages. In case viruses are found, the server will not deliver the infected messages to the user's mailbox. This is the most effective and modern anti-virus solution, and will certainly eliminate a lot of junk e-mail on our servers. Customers should have in mind that the anti-virus software is disabled by default and can be enabled from the Mail Manager in the online Control Panel.

With the world shocked by the devastation caused by the earthquake in Southeast Asia, we would like to express our deepest condolences to those affected. As a token of our sympathy, we decided to give one year of hosting service to all our current customers from the following countries: India, Indonesia, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
Although we realize that our actions will not help relieving the economical losses of the countries affected, we are at least doing everything in our power to help those we can. We urge everyone else out there to do the same!

The new Webmail is finally available to all our customers. Starting today, it is no longer a beta release and is our new official web-based e-mail interface. The new Webmail offers improved functionality and appearance.
