We received an overwhelming response during the .ME Landrush, which has now ended.

Currently .ME domain registrations will be unavailable owing to the ‘Quiet Period’ at the .ME Registry. .ME domain registrations will become available to you as soon as ‘Open Registrations’ commence at the Registry on 17th July 2008.

During the Quiet Period:

• No functions or operations can be performed on domain name applications.
• All .ME domain names that have received a single application will be allocated to their respective applicants.
• Domain names with multiple applications will go into auction.

In a previous announcement we had mentioned that we would be terminating the support of PHP 4 from our Linux web hosting packages. The reason being that PHP 4 has reached its end of life and is no longer being supported by the PHP developers. For your reference here is a link to the announcement that was made on the PHP website: http://www.php.net/archive/2007.php#2007-07-13-1

Since the PHP developers are no longer providing support / bug fixes / security updates for PHP 4, we have no choice but to discontinue providing this service and make PHP 5 as the default version of PHP.

We understand the inconvenience caused, however we believe that continuing to provide PHP 4 after development has stopped will make our servers more vulnerable and prone to attack. This will eventually result in hacking attempts and may even cause server outages / downtimes which will be in no-ones interest.

Therefore, we will be retiring PHP 4 by 15th July, 2008.

We would also like to notify you about an important difference between the configuration of PHP 4 and PHP 5 on our servers. For more details on this new configuration click here.

You are requested to use the rest of this time to make your applications suitable to run on the new PHP version as well as configuration i.e. PHP 5 in the CGI mode.

People are getting smart about online security.

More and more of them are looking for the padlock icon and “https” prefix in the address bar of their browser before submitting personal information online. If your Web site doesn’t have an SSL Certificate, visitors may leave before making a purchase, creating an account or even signing up for a newsletter. But you can change all that with a Thawte SSL from VAIOWEB.

For online businesses, security has become an issue of vital importance.
Internet sales increase each year but consumer fear still holds back millions of potential shoppers from purchasing online.
In today’s world, internet security does not only apply to eCommerce.

You need an SSL Certificate when:

• You have an online store or accept online orders and credit cards
• You collect and process sensitive data such as addresses, birth dates, license numbers, ID numbers, social security numbers or passwords
• Your business partners, vendors or suppliers log in to confidential information on an extranet
• You have offices that share confidential information over an intranet
• You or your business need to comply with privacy and security requirements
• You value privacy and expect others to trust you
