Dear clients,
It us our pleasure to inform you that, as of today, support of PHP v6 is available on all servers in our web hosting network.
This is a brand new version of PHP that still needs to be stabilized online. Therefore, the version is still recommended utterly for test purposes and experimental use. We are introducing the new version in our system earlier in advance, as there are already lots of users interested in developing and maintaining dynamic web sites through PHP v6 enabled software. We would like to advice you, however, to restrain from relying fully only on this version until PHP v6 is officially confirmed as a stable release.
Considering the global software world's trend of moving towards language and cultural sensitivity, the most outstanding feature in PHP v6 - the Unicode support - comes as a timely response! For all of you interested in implementing the new PHP support, please, switch to the new version from the 'PHP settings' section in your Web Hosting Control Panel, or simply by running your files with the extension of ".php6".
With compliments, from our company
To the attention of all supremecenter101.com users! The server operating your web hosting services is suffering at the moment temporary unexpected working order disruptions. For the successful resolution of the situation, our administrators had to change the server's IP addresses. The change will take effect online within one hour. User can try, however, to activate the update earlier themselves by deleting the cache of the server with the following console command: cmd.exe -> ipconfig /flushdns. We cannot give you any guarantees that the command will have the necessary effect because the DNS of your Internet Provider may have cached the old server IP address.
Thank you for your understanding in advance! We are doing our best to ensure no further difficulties in this aspect.
Dear users, our Software Developers Department is happy to announce that the development of the new File Manager, we recently informed you about, has been now completed and the new software is ready for launch!
This advanced File Manager version was developed by our professionals to suit the utmost requirements for ease, convenience and high-tech features within user-friendly interface. Key basis for its creation was the need for better navigation, time-savier and visualization tools.
5.1. Check boxes - By means of check boxes, in the first column of the File Manager's File Listing Panel, you can select multiple files/folders in order to perform certain actions (Copy, Delete, etc.).
5.2. Type Icons - By means of type icons, this column gives you easy orientation and quick information about the type (folder/file - text, image, archive etc.) of the document related to the icon.
5.3. File/Folder names - Our new File Manager introduces a new approach to the management of your files and folders in the form of intelligent tooltips, providing you with an easy access to all actions that can be performed per selected file/folder.
5.4. Actions icons - next to the file/folder names are displayed all action icons available per file/folder - for quick selection of a desired action to be performed for the corresponding file/folder. Each button opens a smart tooltip, showing details for the action that is to be performed.
5.5. File Size - presents information on the size of each file.
5.6. Permissions - presents information on the current permissions set for each file/folder.
5.7. Last Accessed/Last Changed dropdown menu - allows you to switch between both options - 'Last Accessed' and 'Last Changed', upon your desire or need to view the corresponding class of information displayed in the last column of the File Manager's File Listing Panel.
The actions toolbar contains a convenient set of tools for multiple files/folders editing. You can select a number of files/folders and press any of the buttons available - Move, Copy, Delete, Change Permissions, to perform the according action. If you use the option 'Select All' files/folders, the changes you make will take effect in all files/folders in the current directory.
With the newly added 'Reload' button you can reload the File Manager's File Listing Panel without the need to refresh the whole web page.
With the new File Manager you can upload an unlimited number of files, without exceeding, however, a total size of 20 MB at once. For your convenience, the file upload boxes have been organized now to appear in an intelligent cohesive order - right after you have filled in a box, the next one will show up.
The new file upload functionality also supports an option to upload .ZIP, .RAR, .TAR.GZ and .GZ archives with automatic unpack of the files/folders in the current directory. In order to upload archived files/folders, you have to browse and select a desired archive, then check the box that will appear - 'Unpack archive after upload'.
Our new File Manager comes as a high response to the needs and expectations of our users for better, easier and quicker navigation between all hosted domains, files and folders. We sincerely hope that the new software will meet the highest demands of all our clients and set a new model in the Control Panel management of our fast developing web hosting branch.
Our Technical Department is glad to inform you that the maintenance of servers Supremecenter100.com & Supremecenter101.com has been performed successfully, taking less time than scheduled. Now the servers are back to their normal working status and all the services are up and running online as expected.
We'd like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to you during the procedure and to assure you that these maintenance procedures are carried out with the sole purpose of boosting the performance of our servers.
We'd like to present to your attention more details about the latest service disturbance that you have been experiencing lately with our servers SupCenter100.com and SupCenter101.com. Both servers have been recently incorporated in our hosting platform’s network of servers as an essential part of a future cluster system. We’ve dedicated a great amount of efforts to ensure the trouble-free accomplishment of a data replication system that allows full synchronization between the two cluster-based servers.
The system had been working hassle-free since its integration until 9 PM GMT, yesterday, March 27th, when our administrators located a serious problem with the data replication functionality, largely due to unexpected complications of a network file system and data management nature. Despite our administrators’ timely intervention, we could not prevent the server performance problem from causing downtime to your websites. Immediate system recovery measures were taken, but they turned out to be more time-consuming than expected.
During the problem resolution process and restoration of the data replication system, the temporary full discontinuation of the online services was inevitable. The recovery procedure was completed at around 3 AM GMT and the services were brought back online. However, the performance quality was not restored to its original level until 9 AM GMT, March 28th. Now we can assure you that the servers are fully operational and that the data replication system issue has been completely eliminated.
We'd like to take full responsibility for the server performance problem that you have been encountering and to assure you that no data has been lost during the recovery procedure. Please be informed that we draw lessons from our mistakes and that all necessary steps have been taken to minimize the risk of such disruptions happening again.
Our Technical Department would like to inform you that an upgrade maintenance has been scheduled for tomorrow, March 12th, 2008, for SupCenter100.com server, set to start at 9:00 AM GMT (4:00 AM EST), with an expected downtime of about 30 minutes. The procedure will include addition of a set of brand new HDDs (hard disk drives) to the server hardware set-up, which will ensure better stability and higher-level performance of the server.
We guarantee that the information stored on the server will remain intact during the procedure and would like to thank you in advance for your understanding in this matter. As you are already aware, all maintenance procedures, we occasionally carry out, are aimed at improving the quality of our web hosting services and at boosting the performance of our server network.
We'd like to urgently present to your attention more information about the latest email service disturbance, the server your account is hosted on was suffering last night, in the period between 19:40 GMT+2 - 6:00 GMT+2, and give you correct explanation of the situation.
The e-mail functionality interruption was caused by a series of continual mail server requests, that is great amount of faulty mail server requests at a time, leading to very high load volumes and inbound/outbound service disruption.
With our administrators' timely intervention, the problem was quickly diagnosed and corrective measures were immediately taken. During the time-consuming resolutioning process, the temporary full discontinuation of the SMTP and the partial unavailability of the POP3/IMAP servers were inevitable. Our administrators had to manually block flooding IP addresses in order to make sure that no legitimate requests are denied access to our mail servers. It might have been much more time-saving to use the automated ways of access-blocking, however that would have surely led to the blocking of entire networks with IP addresses not connected in any way with the problem. After the flooding was successfully deflected at 70-75%, our administrators' were able to block all connections to the server for around 3 hours to retain the low load volumes and process faster the pending mail queue. During that period the SMTP service was completely unavailable while the POP3/IMAP retained partial availability.
Thanks to the urgent measures taken, our administrators managed to retrieve all e-mails received prior to, during and after the mail server disruption, and the ones that made it to the mail queue. All of these e-mails have been successfully delivered to the corresponding mail boxes. E-mails that did not reach the mail queue were bounced back to the sender's mail server, leaving a corresponding temporary unavailability notice.
We take the full responsibility for the email functionality problem that you have been encountering during the up-mentioned period and would like to assure you that all necessary steps are now taken to be reduced the risk of such disruptions happening again and to be lowered the amount of any eventual damages.

We are glad to inform you that the upgrade maintenance of SupCenter10.co.uk, scheduled for today, passed successfully within the pre-announced period. Our data center administrators managed to complete all the HDD-replacement procedures at a time, so that no further upgrades will be necessary. In consequence, the server is now working much faster than before and will not suffer occasional performance interruptions anymore.
We'd like to thank you for your patience and understanding and to assure you that we are doing all these procedures with the sole purpose of improving the quality of our web hosting services.
Our Technical Department would like to inform you that the previously announced upgrade maintenance for SupCenter10.co.uk is going to be performed on February 5th, 2008. The maintenance is scheduled for 9:00 AM GMT (4:00 AM EST) and will continue 4 hours, with around 2 hours of expected downtime.

To the attention of all our clients! As we announced recently, after mid-February our company is becoming VAT registered! The official VAT registration, and respectively the date from which the new VAT tax will be charged, has been scheduled for 1 March 2008. However, it will be our duty to confirm the date well in advance.
We would like to present to your attention now more detailed information about the new VAT scheme that will come into force from the beginning of March. Hereby we shall explicate all clauses in our future billing and invoicing policy. And most importantly, we shall differentiate the cases that will reflect the VAT changes, and those (that is the bigger part) that will remain the same.
To bring here once again clarity upon the VAT classification groups, all clients are to be referred to as Businesses or Individuals. Thus:
1. UK VAT at 17.5% is applicable to: Businesses (no VAT/VAT registered) and Individuals from the United Kingdom; and Individuals from the European Union.
2. Clients where VAT is applicable but WILL NOT affect the service pricing (i.e. equals to NIL): Businesses from the European Union.
3. Clients outside the scope of VAT: non-EU clients (Businesses and Individuals).
IMPORTANT for clients defined as VAT applicable, according to the above clarified classification: After 1 March 2008, UK VAT at 17.5 % will be applicable to all service prices in your future money-related actions, and you will be served by new VAT Order Forms, adequate to the new VAT financial relations.
To give here visual examples of the price calculations that will be displayed in the new VAT Order Forms, a $100.00 USD value will be used in all cases to explain the purchasing of a web hosting account:
IMPORTANT for all clients remaining outside the scope of VAT, according to the above clarified classification: Service prices will remain VAT unaffected and you will continue to be served by Regular non-VAT Order Forms.
Upon each purchase all clients will continue to receive a type-a invoice. The new type-a invoices will reflect the VAT changes when the client is VAT applicable.
As we have already prepared for launching all VAT system updates in terms of billing (pricing, order forms) and invoicing, our Technical Department has decided to activate some of them ONLINE earlier in advance, so as to have plenty of time to collect your feedback and to monitor the operating of the system. For that purpose, AS OF TODAY, in all Order Forms the VAT price field will be featuring with $0.00 value, simply informatively, as no VAT is to be charged until 1 March 2008.
As you hopefully see, we tried to adapt our system to the new VAT clauses with a minimum of new introductions and updates. We will do our best to make the VAT integration process fluent and easy for all parties. Please, follow our news section for up-to-date information and should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
We are glad to announce that a new update has been made to the functionality of RoundCube. You are now able to change the password of your mailbox wherever you are, simply by logging into your RoundCube mailbox and changing the password settings from the 'Personal Settings' section.
We hope that the new feature will bring flexibility and convenience for all. Please, feel free to contact us should you notice any discrepancies in the new option functioning. Our developers will continue to work on solutions for further improved e-mail management.
Dear customers,
We would like to inform you of slight changes in the pricing of .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .US and .INFO TLDs (top-level domain names) that might be expected in result of the new pricing policy of their registries. On Sunday, October 14th, 2007, VeriSign, Afilias, Neulevel and Public Interest Registry registries increased the prices of the top-level domain names that they are offering (the aforementioned TLDs). We tried to preserve our pricing unchanged for as long as possible, and though now, after a few months, small changes in our prices for domain registrations/transfers will inevitably have to be made, we shall do our best, as always, to stay true to our policy of offering reasonably affordable costs.
Please, refer to any slight changes you may notice in our domain names registrations/transfers pricing list of COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .US and .INFO TLDs as an unavoidable consequence of the registries' official policy. Thank you very much for your understanding, please do not hesitate to feedback us, as soon as you have any comments or suggestions in regards!
Our Technical Department is happy to inform you that the pre-upgrade maintenance of SupCenter10.co.uk, scheduled for today, passed without any complications, and with a very short downtime. Now, after the first stage is successfully completed, the server is ready for the next step of its essential hardware upgrade - the installing of the new HDDs (Hard Disk Drives). The upgrade is scheduled for next week and, as soon as we receive information from our Data Center, we shall announce the exact date and time.
Thank you very much for your understanding! Please, remember that we are performing all these upgrade procedures to ensure highest quality web hosting services and technical support.
Our Technical Department would like to inform you that an urgent data transfer maintenance is going to be carried out on SupCenter55.com server on January 24th, 2008, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM GMT (4:00 AM to 10:00 AM EST). Downtime of about 2 hours is to be expected for all web hosting services.
As you have probably noticed, due to an unknown hardware problem, the machine has been suffering occasional timeouts. Our technical team will resolute the problem shortly. However, as our purpose has always been to ensure highest quality web hosting services and technical support, we shall comply with our policy in such cases and take immediate corrective actions. The decision of our Technical Department, in order to secure excellent web hosting environment for all SupCenter55.com users, is to transfer all their account data to a new machine - SupCenter100.com, which will not simply take over the operational responsibility for all their web hosting services, but will also guarantee optimal level of working performance and reliability due to the better hardware parameters of the server itself.
During the procedure all the data, that is to be transferred to the new server, will remain absolutely undamaged. All account login details of the users will also remain unchanged. We would like to offer an apology for any inconvenience you might encounter during the downtime.

The installing of the new hard disk drives is planned for next week, and we shall let you know about it well in advance. We give our guarantees that the information stored on the server will not be affected in any way and would like to apologize for any inconvenience you might suffer during the downtime.
For us, 2007 was an intensive year, fulfilled with new entries, brilliant ideas and fruitful collaboration between you and us. Throughout these 12 months of hard work we were completely devoted in our efforts to keep higher and competitive the level of our web hosting system, and to provide better and more interesting opportunities for you - our clients. Eyeing back on the year, we are happy to acknowledge that all our efforts had been worth making, in terms of numerous innovations implemented, as well as upgrades performed. Big part of those were inspired by the valuable feedback you were sending us, together with your highly appreciated recommendations. Let's preserve this rate of supportive work and collaboration also throughout the new year and cast an eye back now at some of our most important 2007 events.
Most radically reformed was the Domain Manager. It now provides opportunity for full control of your hosted domains through centralized management of all features (multi-year registration and renewal, transfer, hosting, DNS, parking, Lock/Unlock, WHOIS, ID Protection, EPP).
The recently updated Custom DNS Records section also supports now extended functionality. You are able to set CNAME, AAAA and TXT records, as well as additional NS, MX and A records.
Substantially renewed is the Upgrade section of the WHCP (Web Hosting Control Panel). The Add Services range of features has been enhanced. The interface of the Upgrade Plan and Renew Plan functionality fields is now much friendlier.
A new section was introduced - Set up New Account, enabling you, upon need, to immediately purchase a new web hosting account.
Special attention was paid to our Elefante (Free Scripts) Installer. It was upgraded to a new version, containing better features and more user-friendly interface.
An Administration Tools section was differentiated, with its latest implementation - the .htaccess generator, supplying you with an advanced tool for generating .htaccess files.
Two new languages - Dutch and Romanian - were introduced to the language family of the WHCP. A new link - Visit Store, was added, as well, providing a direct connection to our dynamic up-to-date service offerings.
The Round Cube webmail software was added to the Web Mail tools currently in use for web-based e-mail management.
Great number of TLD extensions (top-level domain names) was added to the list of domains available for registration/transfer in your WHCP, together with WHOIS / ID Protect Service activated and multiple domain registrations/renewals for multiple years.
Throughout the past year our network administrators invested a great amount of efforts in improving the performance of our servers - the "backbone" of our web hosting system. Together with the adding of new servers, a few hardware and software (php 5 and MySQLv5 library) upgrades were carried out.
Special attention was focused on the rejuvenation of our billing system, aimed at substantial tightening of its efficiency regarding the payment verifications and order processings. The switching to multi-currency billing and the PayPal Pro payments solution now guarantee you increased stability and higher level of security in the processing of your incoming payments through our Web Store or through your Web Hosting Control Panel.
For us, 2007 had been a fruitful year, fulfilled with benefits. And bringing to mind the rich array of projects and ideas already scheduled to be performed, we dare say that, even from this early time-point of view, 2008 already outlines as an incredibly interesting year, packed with events. Let us slightly "uplift the curtains" for those of you who most impatiently await:

If you experience any difficulties while using the new webmail software, please send us your feedback using the Open New Ticket link in the Help Center of the Control Panel.
We would like to inform you that SupCenter7 and SupCenter9 servers will be under maintenance on Thursday, for the period from 10.00 AM to 02.00 PM GMT (05.00 to 09.00 AM EST). The downtimes expected should last not more than 4 hours for SupremeCenter9 and about 30 minutes for SupremeCenter7 and for that time all webhosting services (Control Panel, E-Mails, FrontPage, Site Studio, etc.) will be inaccessible. Please accept our apologies in advance for any inconvenience that these may cause to you. We would like ensure you, however, that all this is to be done in order to improve the performance of the servers and to secure the reliability of our webhosting services.
We would like to inform you that the substantial hardware upgrade of SC301.com, that had been recently cancelled, has now been re-scheduled and is to be performed on Wednesday 28th, from 01:00 PM to 07:00 PM (08:00 AM to 02:00 PM EST). The expected downtime is 2 hours during which all webhosting services will be unavailable. We would like to apologize in advance for the inconvenience that this may cause and to reassure you that all the data stored on the server will not be affected in any way!
We would like to announce that on Friday, November 23, between 09:00 and 12:00 AM GMT (04:00 - 07:00 AM EST) support of MySQL v5 library will be added to the PHP v4 and v5 available at present on our servers. Although we are not expecting this upgrade to result in any problems, our system administrators will first perform this procedure only on SupremeCenter7 and SupremeCenter47 servers and will then take a final decision as to whether the upgrade could be applied to all our servers. All web hosting services (websites, e-mails, Control Panel, etc.) are to suffer a downtime of about 1 hour. Please, accept our apologies!
We would like to inform you that, due to problems with the chassis needed for the addition of the new hard-disk drives, the upgrade of SC301, scheduled for November 20, was not completed. Currently the server is working without any problems and we will re-schedule the activities as soon as the necessary parts are delivered. Thank you for your patience regarding this matter!
The .DE TLD has been made available for registration and management in the Control Panel. This is the TLD for Germany and we believe that its implementation will meet the needs of our customer from Germany. It is worth mentioning that the registry of this domain, DENIC, has a few special requirements for the registration and management of .DE domain names and here you can learn about them.
WHOIS / Contact Information:In order to approve a registration request, the registry has set a requirement for street address or P.O. Box within Germany in the administrative contact section. To fulfill this requirement, an additional step has been added after the WHOIS information Please note that the .DE registry, DENIC may not approve the registration if the address is not correct.
Registration Period:The registration period varies between 1 to 10 years. Renewals for multiple years are possible as well.
Domain Renewal:.DE domain name can be renewed successfully up to 10 days before the expiration date. When less than 10 days are left to the domain's expiration date, it gets a "Transit" status and the registry attempts to contact the registrant. If, after 4 weeks, there is no response, the domain is transferred to DENICdirect for further management and the registrant must contact then, in order to renew the domain name.
WHOIS / ID Protection:This service is not applicable for .DE domain names.
Registrar Change / Transfer:It is not possible to change the registrar of .DE domain names.
We believe that the information that we have provided would be sufficient to clarify the situation with the .DE domain names. In the Register / Transfer tab of the Domain Manager, there is a TLD Info page where one can find a detailed review of all TLDs on offer.
In the next three days SupremeCenter7.com will undergo maintenance for the purpose of adding new HDDs (hard disk drives) and the performing of other activities, which is expected to cause two or three downtimes of about one hour to all web hosting services. Please, accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
We would like to bring to your attention that maintenance of the SC301.com server will be performed on Tuesday, November 20. The maintenance is scheduled to start at 13:00 GMT and last no more than 6 hours (from 08:00 to 14:00 EST). The estimated downtime is not expected to exceed 2 hours for all services (websites, e-mails, FTP, control panel, etc.). The reason for the maintenance is the need of urgent hardware upgrade. The activity is not expected to affect the data stored on the server.
We are glad to inform you that the .COM.MX domain extension has just been made available in the Domain Manager of the web hosting Control Panel. As you probably know, the .MX TLD is for Mexico but, unlike the most of the country domain names, there are no restrictions for nationality or residence in this country and anyone can order and use such domain names. However, there is a special requirement set by the nicMX registry that imposed an additional step to be added to the domain registration process. Here comes some more information regarding the features of the new extension:
Registration Period: .COM.MX domain names can be registered only for a 2-year period.
Domain Renewal: Domain renewal is possible for 1 year and must be ordered before the expiration date. If a domain name expires, it is removed from our account with our registrar, and becomes available for registration at least 16 days after the date of expiration.
Pre-Configuration: The step that follows the WHOIS information form requires the registrant to agree with the aforementioned domain renewal requirement.
WHOIS Management: Once a .COM.MX domain is registered, the registrant can modify the WHOIS only with a trouble ticket opened from the Help Center that is available in the Control Panel. The support team will forward the request to the attention of the domain registrar for approval and will inform the registrant whenever there is a resolution for approval or rejection, sent by the nicMX registry.
WHOIS / ID Protection: This service in not available for .COM.MX domain names.
Registrar Change / Transfer: It is possible only to transfer .COM.MX domain names away to another registrar, while transfers to us is not supported by our registrar.
The .DE top-level domain (TLD) will also be made available for registration and management soon. We will let you know as soon as this is done.
The .EU top-level domain (TLD) has been added for registration and management in the Control Panel of the web hosting accounts. We believe that our customers from Europe will take advantage of this TLD when searching for appropriate domain names for their websites.
The .EU TLD is for the European Union and, thus, can be registered by any person or organization established within the European Union. Hereby follows some information about the management of .EU domain names:
Registrant Location: There is a requirement for the registrant (person or organization) to be established within the European Union.
Registration Period: The registration period for .EU domain names is 1 year, which applies also for their renewal.
Domain Renewal: Renewal requests will be accepted by the date of expiration (e.g. September 14th, 2008) or by the 20th of the month of expiration, in cases when the date of expiration is after that date (e.g. September 25th, 2008).
Example: If the name expires on Sept 14th, 2008, then a renewal request must be received by Sept 14th, 2008. If a name expires on September 25th, 2008, the renewal request must be received prior to September 20th, 2008.
Pre-Configuration: As there are requirements for the registrant's location or origins, the domain registration interface will prompt the registrant to enter a valid address within the European Union. The .EU registry EURid will check the information and the registration request will be approved or rejected. Of course, the registrant will be notified via a trouble ticket in case there are any problems.
WHOIS Management: Once the domain has been registered with certain WHOIS information, the information can not be edited. However, minimal corrections are possible as an exception. Such requests must be sent to our support team via the ticketing system available in the Help Center of the web hosting Control Panel. One should have in mind that the registrant's personal or company name can not be modified because such changes are considered as 'formal transfer'. In order to execute transfer of the domain ownership, the registrant must contact directly the EURid registry using the information on their webpage.
WHOIS / ID Protection: This service in not available for .EU domain names.
Registrar Change / Transfer: It is not possible to change the registrar of an .EU domain name.
In addition to .EU domain names, in the next couple of days the .DE TLD will be added to the domain extensions' list as well. We will let you know as soon as it is done.
We are glad to inform you that the new TLD .ME.UK has been released and is now available for registration through the Web Hosting Control Panel. The management policy of the .ME.UK top-level domain is relevant to the rest of the .UK TLDs that we offer for registration and comes with the same special features, the most important of which are:
- 2-year registration period
- renewal available again for a 2-year period
- renewal requests processed only during the 5-month period before the expiration date
- the WHOIS information cannot be altered directly from the Control Panel - the UK registry, Nominet, must be contacted by the domain name owner for WHOIS changes.
To learn more about the specific .UK domain features, please refer to the previous news that concerns the CO.UK and .ORG.UK domains' release.
New TLDs coming soon - .EU and .DE!
The .EU and .DE top-level domains are to be available shortly, as well. They have the following specifications:
.EU - The .EU TLD is the unique TLD set for the European Union and, thus, can be registered by any person or organization established within the European Community. Registration of .EU domain names is possible for 1-year period only, and renewal must be ordered before the expiration date for the same period. Typically for the most of the TLDs (country code domain names), WHOIS / ID Protection is not supported.
.DE - This is the TLD for Germany - probably the chociest country TLD lately. However, there is a special requirement set by the registry of this domain, DENIC, referring to the registrant's address information that needs to be presented at the time of registration. According to that requirement, it is obligatory, when entering the administrative contact information, a street address or P.O. Box within Germany to be presented, in order to gain approval of the registration. There is no WHOIS /ID Protection service available for .DE domain names and it is possible to choose a registration period from 1 to 10 years.
We are pleased to inform you that today we have made available for registration through the Web Hosting Control Panel the .UK and .CA domain extensions (top-level-domains or TLDs). We know how desired they are and hope that these extensions will satisfy the needs of our clients from the United Kingdom and Canada.
Let's present the new TLDs and have a look at their special requirements now.
.UK (.CO.UK and .ORG.UK) Domain Names
The .UK TLD stands for the United Kingdom. We've made available the .CO.UK and .ORG.UK SLDs (second-level-domains), which can be used for registration or transfer purposes. The domain names registered with these SLDs possess some special features that make their management different from that of .com, .net, etc. TLDs. The differences concern the registration period, the renewal policy and the WHOIS info management.
Registration period: The registration period for the .UK domains is 2 years.
Renewal policy: Domain renewals are possible for a 2-year period only. What's more, renewal is only possible in cases when 5 months, or less, are left until the expiration date.
WHOIS management: Modification of the WHOIS info is not possible through the Control Panel. The UK registry Nominet must be contacted directly by the domain owner when the WHOIS info must be changed. The reason for this restriction is that there are certain fees that must be paid to Nominet and that such changes are considered as formal transfer.
.CA Domain Names
The Canadian registrar CIRA has some special requirements for the registrants and for the management of the WHOIS information.
Registrant requirements: .CA domain names can be registered by Canadian citizens, individuals having permanent residency in Canada and companies under the laws of Canada. Because of this requirement, additional contact details are required during the registration procedure itself and that is why we have made a separate page as a step of the domain registration process. This page allows you to choose the correct attribute from the list of options.
WHOIS management: The registrant cannot change the WHOIS in order to transfer ownership from one person or organization to another, but can change registrant's address, phone number and other contact details. However, in order to modify this info, you will have to submit a trouble ticket to the Customer Support staff from the Help Center section in the Web Hosting Control Panel.
It should be noted that both domains are transferable between different registrars and that no EPP authorization key is needed for that. Unfortunately, both of the registries do not support WHOIS / ID Protection for their domain names, which is characteristic for most of the "country domains".
What should you expect after these TLDs?
We are now working on the implementation of .DE and .EU domain names. Our developers will do their best to complete these TLDs by the end of November.
We would like to inform you that our server SupremeCenter44 is scheduled to undergo maintenance on Wednesday, October 31.

The maintenance of SupremeCenter8 will cause about 30-mininute downtime of the websites and the MySQL servers, and about 4-hour downtime of the Control Panel, FTP and the mailing services.
We'd like to let you know that scheduled maintenance of two of ours network's servers, SupremeCenter10 and SupremeCenter11, will be executed on Wednesday, September 26th, and on Thursday, September 27th, respectively. The actions will take place between 10.00 AM to 14.00 PM GMT (05.00 AM to 09.00 AM EST) both days and will be aimed at increasing the performance quality of the servers' hardware.
The maintenance procedures are planned to move the data on SupremeCenter10 and SupremeCenter11 to a brand new server, so that both servers could rely on a much more advanced hardware infrastructure. The migration time completion is expected to be around 4 hours as the following services will not be accessible within that period - Control Panel, email service, Front Page Server Extensions, Site Studio and FTP. The overall downtime for users' websites is expected to be around 30 minutes.
We'd like to apologize in advance for any possible inconvenience that the maintenance procedures might cause to your online presence. However, we trust you understand our efforts to ensure the reliability and up-to-dateness of our network system.

We are happy to announce that new software, called .htaccess Generator, has been made available in the Web Hosting Control Panel. Its purpose is to allow you to create many widely used .htaccess file features.
Where is the .htaccess Generator?
You can find the .htaccess Generator in the new Elefante Administration Tools section in the Web Tools menu. The new section includes also the Hotlink Protection and IP Blocking tools that have been taken from the Elefante Marketing Tools section. If you want to create .htaccess files you can also go to the desired location using the Control panel's File Manager and click the .htaccess button that is available there.
Where is the .htaccess Generator located?
We have developed this tool taking into account your need to create .htaccess files and the fact that these files are sometimes not functioning properly due to incorrect parameters. The new generator will create the files properly so that there will be no need for you to contact our Technical Support team with regard to problems of such kind. Of course, we are always ready to help if problems with malfunctioning .htaccess files hosted on our servers appear.
What features have been made available in the .htaccess Generator?
The features have been grouped in the following six sections depending on their purpose:
How can you apply the generated .htaccess code?
As soon as the form has been completed and submitted, the .htaccess code is generated. For your convenience, the code is being displayed in a text box so that you may choose whether to add it to an existing .htaccess file, or to have the file created in the selected location.
We trust you will like the new tool, as we are always happy to make our services easier for you to use.
It is our pleasure to announce that the Web Hosting Control Panel supports Romanian language now. We believe that this will make the web hosting services that we are providing more pleasant for our customers from Romania.
You can set the language of your Control panel to Romanian from the Customize Control Panel section that is available in the My Account menu, or through the Customize Control Panel icon at the bottom of the Control panel's main page.
A new feature has been made available in the Control panel. It enables you to sign up quickly for a completely new hosting account when the current hosting account has insufficient resources or in case a new project is about to be started. That's not all - a new interface has been developed for the signup process. It has the features of a Shopping Cart with its main advantage - allows management of the items that are being ordered without losing sight of them.
| Let's choose the Setup New Account link in the web hosting control panel and take a short tour through the steps of the signup process using the new interface.
|
|
 |
|
| Step 1: Select a hosting plan In the first step of the wizard you will get acquainted with the hosting plans that are currently on offer. To review the plan features and compare the hosting plans that are available for purchase, choose the Compare plans tab. To proceed to the next step, click the Order button that corresponds to the plan that suits your needs. Note that in the Cart table you can use the Change plan link to switch to another hosting plan at any time during the signup process. |
|
 |
|
Step 2: Select domain In this step you must choose the domain name that you want to host in the new hosting account. You can register a domain name, or transfer an existing one, registered with another registrar. There is an option also to host your existing domain name without transferring it. Once you enter a domain name for registration / transfer and click the Add domain for hosting button, you must add to cart the domain that you've chosen in the results' list. Of course, you can use the Change domain link to change the domain name whenever you want. |
|
 |
|
Step 3: Account info Here we come to the place where you must submit the information needed in order to create the new hosting account. It is very important to enter the username of the new Hosting account and make sure that the contact e-mail address is correct because the new account information will be sent there. The same information will appear in the WHOIS of the domain that is ordered for registration or transfer. |
|
 |
|
Step 4: Select payment Finally, we come to the last step of the wizard where you must select the preferred payment method (credit card or PayPal). Make your final decision whether you would like to have the web hosting account created and, if everything is in order, use the Next button to complete the signup process and submit the payment. |

New options are available in the Subdomain Manager in the webhosting Control panel. Until now, one of the features in this section was allowing to set up the ERROR 404 page for each virtual host (domain or subdomain) and the options were: to use the system Apache error page, or to set a website URL that will open in case someone mistypes the host URL.
Now, in the Subdomain Manager, besides the ERROR 404 page, there are options to manage also 400, 401 and 403 error pages. Thus you will have control on the error pages that appear when there are problems with your hosts or with the server.
Please note that the new feature is available for the hosting accounts located on the servers from SupremeCenter5.com to SupremeCenter15.com for now. If you have any questions or meet any difficulties while setting up the error pages, feel free to send your inquiry in a trouble ticket that can be opened from the Help Center section of the web hosting Control panel.
