PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 1, 2010 - Valdese, NC
     
        VolcanoHost's clients can now breathe a sigh of relief.  No longer must they hold their breath until the beginning of the next month for fear of running over their monthly data allotment!  Effective November 1st, 2010, all VolcanoHost hosting plans feature unlimited data transfer.

        "Technically, this is called 'unmetered data transfer', rather than unlimited," explained VolcanoHost owner J. R. Ellis.  "There is a finite amount of data that can be pushed through any data center, so it is only unlimited in the fact that our clients will not be penalized if they go over some set amount of monthly data transfer." 

        "This option just became available to us,"  Ellis continued.  "We thought about only making it available for our higher-tiered hosting plans, but decided against it.  It doesn't hurt us to allow Basic Hosting Plan clients to have unlimited bandwidth.  Besides, the tiers are still needed since other resources are still limited, such as disk space.  So smaller sites can still start off with the most economical plan and then upgrade as their needs grow.  But data transfer (bandwidth) will no longer be the deciding factor for upgrading."

        Existing VolcanoHost clients do not need to do anything to take advantage of the new unmetered bandwidth plans.  All hosting packages have been edited to reflect unlimited data transfer as of November 1st.

All accounts should now be back up and running. Please contact us on the support page if you are still having issues.

We are experiencing a temporary outage.  We will pass on more info as it becomes available.

The data center will be performing some software upgrades this Sunday, September 5th 01:00 AM-04:00 AM EST. They expect the maintenance window to be no longer than 30 minutes, however if there are complications, they are reserving this 3 hour window for the maintenance.

Thank you,

VolcanoHost Support

The data center has been working on an issue with our server.  It should be coming back up now.

The data center will be performing the second round of upgrades on their network next weekend.

The maintenance window will be 02:00-04:00 (am) EST on Saturday, May 15th

The purpose for this maintenance is to perform an upgrade to their other Core router to add capacity.

Expected impact should be minimal. 1-2 minutes (or less), but in the event of a problem, there could potentially be downtime.

The RVSiteBuilder has been upgraded to V4.01 and now appears to be working as it should. RVSiteBuilder users should now be able to update their site content.

Thanks,

VolcanoHost Support

Attention RVSiteBuilder users: If you created your page using RVSiteBuilder, we recommend you do not try to update your content until some upgrade issues have been addressed. They just rolled out V4.0, and it seems to have some problems. Watch this page for further news.

Thanks,
