Net Explorers Articles

Yes it is finally here at last!  It has been a long time coming but we are now proud to announce a massive upgrade to our UK web hosting service.

As of today all new Net Explorers shared hosting orders will benefit from hugely increased bandwidth limits at no additional cost.  This means you can handle even more traffic and email or host even larger files on your website, which is perfect for blogs, online shops and busy content managed websites.

For example our entry-level package now comes with 6000MB of monthly bandwidth.  This is a 400% increase and the same amount of bandwidth that was only previously available on our largest plan!

We are very excited about being able to offer our customers more generous bandwidth allocations.  Our hosting packages are now incredibly competitive and stand up against other hosts who provide high quality UK web hosting.

Existing customers can also benefit from the new bandwidth limits by requesting an upgrade by emailing our accounts team.

For full details on the new bandwidth limits visit our UK web hosting page.

We have upgraded our Drupal auto-installer scripts to version 6.9.  This means any new Drupal hosting accounts wil have version 6.9 automatically installed.  So why not sign up for Drupal Hosting Free Trial today and find out for yourself why Drupal is one of the World’s most popular content management systems?

This release fixes a number of critical security problems that existed in previous versions and all users are urged to upgrade now.  Full details here:

Drupal 6.9 and 5.15 released

Our auto-installer scripts have been updated to Joomla! 1.5.9.  This means any new Joomla! hosting accounts will have version 1.5.9 automatically installed, including pre-configured Search Engine Friendly URLs.

This is an important security release that fixes a number of  bugs and a high level security issue that existed in previous versions.  All users on versions below 1.5.9 are urged to upgrade now.  Full details here:

Joomla 1.5.9 Security Release Now Available

Search Engine Friendly URLs are an incredibly important feature for any website.  Even though enabling this in Joomla 1.5 is a relatively straight forward task many users either don’t understand the significance of them or do not have the confidence to change their configuration file and set up the necessary mod_rewrite rules.

To help our customers build better websites and to relieve them of some unecessary hassle we have made an important improvement to our Joomla installation service.

As of version 1.5.5 all Joomla Hosting orders will be pre-configured with search engine friendly URLs enabled. They will work out-of-the-box without the need for any further configuration. Simple!

So instead of your URLs looking like this:

/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19&Itemid=27

they will look like this:

/joomla-overview/what-is-new-in-1-5

They are easier to read and will give you a search engine ranking boost.  Nice!

Joomla! have brought out yet another release hot on the heels of 1.5.4.  Joomla 1.5.5 (named ‘Mamni’) fixes a duplicate title error present in 1.5.4 and addresses a number of bugs including one affecting search engine friendly URLs.

All Joomla 1.5 users should upgrade to 1.5.5 as soon as possible.  Any new Joomla hosting orders will now get version 1.5.5 installed.
