- Free Domain Promotion
With the launch of our new website, we will be ending the current free domain name special offer. At the moment you can purchase any new package, and get a free domain name, and this offer still stands until the new website is launched near the end of March 2008. Once the new website becomes live, [...]
Sat, 08 Mar 2008 10:43:46 +0000 - GoDaddy Blocks OpenDNS
GoDaddy appears to have completely blocked OpenDNS requests from their network on March 6th for approximately 2 hours, preventing all OpenDNS users from accessing the GoDaddy corporate website, and all services/sites hosted on their network. No real information has been posted regarding this since it happened, except from a short message from OpenDNS, but I can’t [...]
Sat, 08 Mar 2008 10:40:03 +0000 - Weekend Update
Our last maintenance session didn’t go too well to be perfectly honest, we’re trying to complete something unique, which no one has attempted before, but mainly because our requirements are so specific, and our network is quite complicated. But by the following Monday we had completed our first set of migrations to our first VMWare [...]
Sat, 08 Mar 2008 10:23:44 +0000 - What Next?
Completely off my usual blogging style, here’s an article from BBC News. A new road camera that counts car occupants by detecting blood and water content on skin is being tested. Enforcing the more-than-one-occupant rule of car-sharing lanes has been a problem ever since Leeds opened the first in 1998 on the A647. Using council officers and [...]

This Friday, between 8am->11am, we will be performing maintenance on two shared servers - Keira & Shannon. Customers will be migrated to new hardware ‘live’ which may cause data to lose sync. Ie, changes made on the original server may not be migrated if the data has already been migrated until the switch has been [...]
Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:40:34 +0000 - We Need A Bed In The Office!
After yesterdays quite shocking day (ok, I had the Monday blues) we finally made some decent ground today with our upcoming virtualization network, and overcame (hopefully) a major problem preventing us from migrating physical machines to multiple small virtual clusters. This allowed us to progress with the deployment of our Windows Server 2003 operating systems, and [...]
Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:32:55 +0000 - 21 Million DNS Queries
Since our switch to OpenDNS, a global DNS network providing faster DNS queries, we’ve pushed on average around 3 Million DNS queries per day, or around 150,000 per hour. A total of around 1300 phishing websites have also been blocked, protecting our clients from fraudulent bank and paypal scams overall creating a more secure network. [...]
Fri, 22 Feb 2008 18:29:10 +0000 - Website Update
Our new website went to beta testing today for our staff, so we can gather together a bug list to identify any minor mistakes which worked their way through production. At the moment we’ve only gathered about 10 bugs, so at this stage a release for next week is planned for the public website. At the [...]

We’re making real ground on the new Aventure Host website, with the first few pages now signed and sealed, the rest of the site is moving along nicely. I’ve included a tiny screenshot below, further sneak-peaks will be revealed each day until the website is ready to be launched. The screenshot included below is from [...]
