March 11th, 2006 - New Servers We are pleased to announce that we have migrated all OxONet services to brand new state-of-the-art servers running in downtown Middletown, Ohio, at iFiber (Innovative Fiber Optic Solutions). Some of the improvements from this migration are:
All existing data and configurations have been copied automatically. The only significant software change is that the new servers are running MySQL 4.1 rather than MySQL 3.23. If you use a database, you may want to make sure it is compatible with MySQL 4.1; most popular web applications support MySQL 4.1. Thank you for your business, and we look forward to serving you - faster and better than ever - for a long time to come. January 24th, 2006 - System Status Line We are pleased to announce today our new toll-free System Status Line at 1-877-397-7350. While we do everything that we can to maintain 100% uptime, this is not always possible due to circumstances beyond our control. In the event that you believe there is an outage on any or all of our servers, please call our system status line to hear if we have made an official announcement about an outage. If no announcement has been made, you can leave a message and a technician will be paged to review our servers' availability. November 9th, 2005 - FTP using SSL/TLS encryption We have upgraded our FTP server software to support SSL/TLS encryption. If your FTP client supports it, you can protect your FTP login/password and all data transfers using high-grade encryption similar to secure web sites (https). This prevents others on the Internet from being able to intercept and steal your login information or any of the data in the files you transfer. Please note the SSL certificate used by our FTP server is issued to "secure.oxonet.com". You should use this as your FTP server hostname instead of "yourdomain.com" that you might normally use. Otherwise, some FTP clients may show an alert about a mismatch of server names. We strongly encourage all users of FTP to enable SSL encryption on their FTP clients. If you are using an FTP client that does not support encryption, we would suggest that you to check for an updated version with support or switch to another client that does support it. September 30th, 2005 - Clam AntiVirus We have installed Clam AntiVirus, and updated our SpamAssassin filters. More about Clam AntiVirus: being online today means that your computer is vulnerable to many forms of malicious viruses, worms, and "phishing" schemes which attempt to steal your personal information, corrupt or access your data, and so on. Many of these threats use e-mail to spread. OxONet employs the award-winning Clam AntiVirus system to scan every e-mail message you receive for many types of malicious code. Any threats found are immediately blocked so they never reach your computer. ClamAV is known for its quick response time to new threats as they are discovered.
