ColdFusion 9 Hosting is coming to Host Media UK

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Host Media UK is very excited to announce the soon to released ColdFusion 9 Enterprise web hosting for both shared and reseller hosting on Windows 2008 Servers.

Now, everyone likes free things so we are offering a free ColdFusion hosting plan just like our Railo free package which anyone can signup to for a tiny setup fee of £1 GBP. Not much to spend for reliable ColdFusion hosting.

With the priced hosting plans we begin with the “CF9 Base” package which starts at £3 per month and if you are looking to become a ColdFusion reseller then you can hosting an unlimited number of accounts for £20 per month.*

All plans also come with FFmpeg and PHP Ming for Windows to give you great media support with ColdFusion.

We wanted to give ColdFusion a new look for hosting, as you may or may not know ColdFusion hosting has always been more expensive than standard PHP hosting due to a few factors. 1) ColdFusion is not open source and it costs unlike PHP, Railo etc. 2) Most hosting companies should be offering ColdFusion Enterprise which costs £3,646.00 Ex VAT (£4,284.05 Inc VAT) 3) Finally most users like to use ColdFusion on Windows servers with ASP.NET, PHP and using IIS systems.
We have made sure all 3 factors we have done for a lower price. How? Cloud based servers that can increase on demand if we require and a great provider of servers and software for our systems.

Interested? check out the ColdFusion Hosting details page:

* These plans may change resources and prices before full release.

What is ColdFusion?

Tip: Preview your Railo/CF site without changing the main DNS for your domain.

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

We have been getting many emails saying what’s the best way to preview their website before changing the main sites DNS / A:Records over… Well we have found a simple but easy way to preview websites, its as simple as creating a sub domain. Just like a full domain name a sub domain can be pointed to our Railo servers in the US and we can then add it to the service. (Example below)

What we see:

<Host name=”#domain.com#” appBase=”webapps”
unpackWARs=”true” autoDeploy=”true”
xmlValidation=”false” xmlNamespaceAware=”false”>
<Context path=”" docBase=”/home/#username#/#domain.com#/” />
<Alias>#www.domain.com#</Alias>
<Alias>#subdomain.com#</Alias>
</Host>

Key:
Grey: Standard host text we add when we get a new order
Black: What we add for your sub domain to work on the main domain

So in conclusion with your current domain owner or hosting provider you will need to create a sub domain name, anything you would like (Example: railo.yourdomain.com) and point it to own Railo IP which is in your ‘Welcome Account Information’.

If you have any questions or would like to get more information please contact our support team via the support ticket.

NY1 & NY2 Combining – Server Upgrades Part 2

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Last time we spoke about our plans for combining our 2 NY media servers into one server, after meetings with directors and the team about this we have come up with a better way of hosting media websites and keeping a high level of service to both the customers and the servers.

One of the key points that was raised was having all the sites hosted on one huge machine, no matter what the servers specifications are servers are still hardware which could fail but we always try our hardest to make sure that does not happen. The end conclusion was not to combine but to divide our NY2 server into 3 different areas, as our NY2 server is the server we want to move away from due to hardware upgrades we require.

So… the best way to show what our plans are is by a nice illustration of the plan.

NY-Network

Once we have completed this work we can increase the performance of our services which is our main goal. In the end of these changes we will have a total of 2 new servers.

These plans will be starting to go through within the next few days, we have already setup our new servers apart from our UK, London server which should be with us within the next day or so.

We will be doing everything we can to make sure we have a stable network for our customers and these new systems will greatly improve our already stable network.

As always if you have any questions please feel free to open a support ticket via the client area.

Thank you

Host Media UK Team

A new way for Railo – In Development Part 2

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

With our new server up & running today we have finished the main install of Railo 3 onto the server with Resin which we are happy to inform everything on that it is working just fine on our cPanel based server.

We are currently looking to see how Railo can integrate with the servers hosts XML file so no adding host entries into the Resin file.

The techie part:

What we want to use:
<host regexp=”(.+)”>
<host-name>${host.regexp[1]}</host-name>
<root-directory>/home/${host.regexp[1]}/public_html</root-directory>
<web-app id=”/” document-directory=”.”/>
</host>
What we would need to use if we couldn’t / didn’t want to read a hosts.xml file:
<host id=”DOMAIN.COM” root-directory=”/home”>
<web-app id=”/” root-directory=”USERNAME/public_html” />
</host>
This is the key part for getting Railo working with any site created on the server without the need for our team to do extra work. Not that we are lazy but nice to take unneeded work out of the process. This would also get our sites using Railo straight away or atleast without a long wait if Resin did require a midnight restart (2-5 Second Restart).
Our hopes are that we can have something ready for the release of our brand new server range to celebrate the day.
From the server logs and reports our development / testing server is handling Railo pretty well, and we maybe rolling out Railo to a much larger group than we thought. Maybe a standard feature on our Media hosting!

NY1 & NY2 Combining – Server Upgrades

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Over the next couple of days we will be making major upgrades to our NY1 & NY2 servers to combine them into a brand new type of server which will be double more powerful than both server combined. This is key to make sure our service is stable and uptime is kept to a minimum of 99.9%.

Server Details:

  • 8-Core Intel Xeon CPUs
  • RAID-10 Protected Disk Storage
  • CENTOS 5 64bit
  • New Daily Backup Systems
  • Dedicated 100 Mbps Port
  • Tier-1 redundant bandwidth
  • New updated Firewall
  • 99.9% Uptime Guarantee

DNS Information
There will be no change to IP’s or DNS information as our new server is located in the same data centre in the US, this will allow for a faster transfer between the 3 servers.

This server will act as the main server for media & reseller hosting and will be able to handle all class of websites in one place. The server is part of a network of servers in case we need to switch to a cloud based network for extra processing and storage space.

We hope to have 0 downtime but we must warn all customers on those on NY1 & NY2 servers if downtime occurs our team will be working on the issue to get your sites up onto the new server asap. If at any point you feel you need to contact our team regarding this matter please do contact us asap via the support ticket area.

Thank you and we look forward to hosting your websites on our new servers.

Best regards
Host Media UK Team

A new way for Railo – In Development

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Today our team is working on a new way to host Railo which could allow better interface between the control panel and the Railo service. We have brought a new server (US based) to install the latest cPanel and the latest Railo to work together with high performance.

The features we would like to start offering on this service is:

  • Add domain names to the Railo service to work from midnight onwards

    OR

    Add domain names to work instantly with Railo without the midnight Railo service restarts we currently do

  • Allow data sources (DSN) to be setup / managed within cPanel so no need to access the Web Administrator
  • Also to allow mappings to be managed within cPanel
  • WHM reseller permissions to enable or disable Railo for an account as a feature

This service will be released as stable while we start adding new features over time as listed above. We hope to have the Railo & cPanel service testing finished by the end of the week (9th / July / 2010).

Keep an eye on our blog for updates.
