Sorry for not posting so long. However, we have been so busy of late here. We spent the summer improving our network / programming and working on a few new projects that we have had in the pipeline for months and finally they are getting finished.

As some of you may have already heard, we are working on a new affiliate system. It’s been on the community forum for a while, but now it’s finally coming to the testing phase where we will be accepting private beta testers for it. For more information about the affiliate system, please view the following link: http://forum.hostican.com/affiliate-program-questions-f12/hostican-affiliate-program-v3-t1085/

As part of our growth, we have been working hard on preparing to move cages inside our current datacenter, as we have outgrown our current one (which is a great thing for customers, as they will start seeing more improvements shortly after the migration has been completed). Here is an email that was recently sent out to all customers to let you know about the migration:

Dear Customer,

This is an email to inform you about an upcoming maintenance window that is planned. Below is more information about when, where, why the maintenance window will take place.

WHEN: Friday, August 29th 2008 | Start time: 11:30 PM EST - 3:30AM EST

*Please note that the above maintenance window is only a timeframe and if possible we will complete the maintenance faster then the above indicated timeframe of 4 hours.

For your local time on this, please view: http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=8&day=29&year=2008&hour=23&min=30&sec=0&p1=212

WHERE: Ashburn, VA.

WHY: All services will be affected at this time. We will be upgrading our physical presence by moving cages to allow for future expansion. This move will help us further to organize and improve our service to you as a customer.

If you have regular visitors to your site during the above hours, we suggest that you put up a notice to inform them of the maintenance window. We know from past experience that they will appreciate this and that it will, as a result, have minimal impact on your online presence.

We do appreciate your understanding in this matter, and for supporting us in making a better service for you. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Best Regards,

HostICan Operations

Well, after doing one of those famous all-nighters, everything was moved to the new cage, and we are poised for tremendous growth in the months ahead.

So stay tuned.
