New one-click installers

Posted Jan 23 at 10:50 CDT by Remi in Joomla, Plone, Rails, WordPress, Zope  - 5 comment(s)

If you frequently create applications in the control panel you might notice that the drop-down where you select the application and the version keeps getting longer :)

This is because we're constantly adding more tools and more versions. Today we just added the freshly released TurboGears-1.0.4.2 and Joomla-1.5.

Other installers we added recently include the latest versions for Rails, WordPress, Zope, Plone and Trac.

Rails-2.0 is here!

Updated Dec 10 at 05:13 CDT (first posted Dec 7 at 12:18 CDT) by Remi in Rails  - 10 comment(s)

The highly anticipated Rails-2.0 has just been released

It's only minutes since the first Rails-2.0 bugfix version was released (2.0.1) and I'm happy to say that we've already added it to our one-click installer :)

Rails-2.0 is the result of many months of hard work and it contains tons of improvements, which you can view at the official Rails blog

But that's not all... To celebrate the release of Rails-two-o we're offering a 50% discount for one year to any new customer signing up in the next two weeks with the promo code RAILS20. If you combine that with our new unlimited plans I think you've got a pretty good deal ...

Update: Just to be clear, here are the conditions for this promo code:

  • Two weeks only: The final day to signup with the promo code is December 21st
  • Limited to Rails signups
  • One-year payment required

BIG holiday present !

Updated Dec 29 at 09:34 CDT (first posted Dec 22 at 05:06 CDT) by Remi in Django, General, Plone, Python, Rails, Shared, TurboGears, Zope  - 13 comment(s)

Well, here comes our BIG holiday present to everyone:

We've added one long-running process and 40MB of RAM to all plans !

This means that Rails, Django and TurboGears hosting is now available on our "Shared 1" plan, starting at $7.50/month. Zope is now available on our "Shared 2" plan and Plone on our "Shared 3" plan.

But that's not it: we've doubled the diskspace and quadrupled the bandwidth included in each plan !

Also, a private IP address is now only $5/month and an extra 40MB of RAM is only $7/month.


Happy holidays everyone :)

Thanks a lot to Jorge Vargas and David Sissitka for writing the install scripts for MoinMoin-1.5.6 and Mephisto-0.7.3

I look forward to a lot more install scripts !

Control panel demo

Updated Feb 19 at 05:37 CDT (first posted Jun 21 at 03:41 CDT) by Remi in General, Python, Rails, Screencast  - 23 comment(s)

We believe our home-grown control panel to be one of the most flexible and powerful out there. In a few clicks you can:

  • Access our support system and search our knowledge base
  • Manage your domains, emails, databases, contacts, services, tickets and more
  • Create applications such as Rails, Wordpress, Django, TurboGears and more (using the exact version you want)
  • Mix and match your applications with your domain(s)/URL(s)
  • All the changes happen in real time

We've just released a screencast demo of our control panel. The demo demonstrates how to setup a Rails, WordPress, Django and TurboGears site in a few clicks. It then shows how to ssh into the server and make changes to your sites.
