Firstly, we have enabled clustered DNS across our cPanel servers for greater reliability. A typical cPanel server works on a single standalone server scenario, with a cluster the DNS is replicated over multiple servers, so if one goes down, another will seamlessly take over.

We’re also offering free branded cPanel tutorials as part of our Enterprise reseller hosting plan. This is a series of 31 flash based tutorials, branded with your company logo at the start and finish. You can see a demo of these tutorials within our client area.

We’re always trying to be one step ahead, and new features are constantly being added to our services. We have a few other goodies that are nearing release.

We’ve just added a link to ‘Old Script Finder’ from within cPanel. This handy little tool searches your account for out of date scripts, allowing you to keep an eye on your upgrades.

Running out of date scripts can severely impact the security of your website, even the most security-tightened servers cannot help against poor application coding.

We have also added more tutorials, including How to change your DNS Nameservers, Setting up Private Nameservers and Using RVSiteBuilder Pro.

There are many reasons why you should carefully choose the location of your server or host. The main reason being speed.

There’s no doubt that the closer to the server you are geographically, the faster it will serve files and web pages.

The other advantage of choosing a host in the same country as your visitors is search engine rankings.
Google and other search engines take note of the IP address that your site is hosted on and ranks it accordingly.
For example, a website on a UK IP address will rank better on google.co.uk than an American IP address would.
