Being too busy in our work, we did not notice that back on May 15th, the domains hosted on our servers reached 100,000. We are proud to announce this now, as such a number of hosted domains is a milestone in the history of every hosting company.

We thank to all our customers and resellers who trusted their sites and businesses to us.

We do not have a sales department, and we never needed one, as this job has always been executed excellently by our existing customers. All customers, who continue to spread the word about us, are actually our Sales Officers. We know that we have the biggest and the most wonderful Sales Department a company can dream of. Back in year 2000 we had 300 customers; now, ten years later we have 100,000. This is not just our success - it is also a success of all our loyal customers and resellers. We thank you all, and we will keep up our work on offering the best hosting service.

In the last months, our Software Team was working on the development of an online site building tool. Following many customer requests and our policy to offer mostly in-house developed software, the members of our Software Team spent their time to perform a proper research and to have the tool developed in a way, in which we believe it would be of use for most customers.

As a result, our online site building software is already in production on our servers.

The site builder allows an easy creation of a site, starting from a predefined template, setting the site navigation, and editing each page under the site navigation with a WYSIWYG editor. Also, there is a number of widgets available in the site builder, which allow the addition of dynamic components. Over 15 site templates are already available, and we plan to add more regularly.

Using our site builder, you can build your site easily, without any special knowledge of HTML or scripting languages. The site builder itself and all its templates are available for our hosting customers exclusively.

Earlier this week, we increased the resources of our Business plan for customers on US-based servers. The new disk space quota is 50GB (upgraded from 10GB), and the new monthly traffic is 500GB (upgraded from 200GB). All existing accounts were upgraded automatically at no additional cost. We believe that this upgrade will give to our Business customers more options for the development of their sites.

Yesterday, the number of domains hosted on our servers reached 95 000. We see the steady increase of our customers as a sure sign that we have been doing our job as well as we can.

Our full Money-Back Guarantee is now extended to 100 days. We have decided to make this change so that our customers have even more time to test our service. This extension is possible due to the high quality of our hosting service and the large number of our loyal customers.

We are glad to announce that we have introduced a new tool that allows our customers to transfer their sites from cPanel-enabled hosts.
All you have to do is backup your site at the old host using cPanel, and then import the backup file to your account with us using the cPanel Importer tool in the Migration section of your control panel.
It is that easy to transfer your site!

We have launched a new Gallery script to help our customers, who wish to share pictures online. The Gallery script can be installed easily through the Scripts section in the online Control Panel. It is developed entirely by our programmers, which ensures maximum security and compatibility with our system. As always, if you have any questions about installing the Gallery script, do not hesitate to contact our support team at http://www.suresupport.com.

Throughout the years, we have always aimed at providing the best possible service to our existing customers. Continuing this trend, we rewarded our most loyal customers with a free account for one year. We gave away a free hosting coupon for each account hosted on our servers for more than six years.

After firmly establishing our presence in USA and Hong Kong, we have decided to expand our reach by establishing http://www.icdsoft.de - a localized version of ICDSoft in German.

Along with the new website, we have also introduced a new data center in Frankfurt, Germany. The new data center is equipped with our newest servers: 2x Quad-core Xeon processors, 8 GB RAM and RAID 6 disk arrays, and is connected through Equinix - a leading global internet provider.

We have carefully chosen the location and connectivity of the new data center, in order to ensure the best possible stability, security and the lowest possible response times for our customers in Europe and over the world. We are looking forward to applying our web hosting expertise in Germany!

Today the number of domains hosted on our servers reached 90 000. We truly appreciate the trust of all our customers, and will continue to provide services of a highest level.

Version 2 of our Reseller Control Panel is now officially in production. It introduces a brand new interface and several new features, such as ordering multiple items with a single payment (a shopping cart), and monitoring/management of domains registered with us. We plan to add many new features to the Reseller Control Panel, making it even easier for our resellers to run their hosting business.

We are happy to announce that we increased the resources available to our Business plan. The new Business accounts feature five times more resources: 10GB disk space and 200GB monthly traffic. The upgrade was possible due to the greatly improved server hardware and software that we integrated into our hosting infrastructure. The increased resources will be available to our customers at no additional cost.

The domains hosted on our servers reached 85 000 today. We would just like to thank our customers for the continued support. We believe that our steady growth is a clear indication of the quality of the services that we offer.

As a token of the quality of our services, we have extended our Money-Back Guarantee to 60 days. Our customers now have 60 days during which they can test our service.

The active hosting accounts on our servers have reached 80 000. As always, the steady increase of our customers is accompanied by a gradual increase of the resources we offer with our plans, as well as by new features being developed. We have recently incorporated PHP 5 and MySQL 5 into our services, as well as developed a DNS Manager that allows for easy management of custom DNS records. The continued support of our customers allows us to spare more and more resources toward developing new and exciting features!

After extensive compatibility testing, we have incorporated MySQL 5 into our services. Customers can now use both MySQL 4 and MySQL 5 databases. We have also implemented a Convert tool, that offers a easy way to migrate customer databases from MySQL 4 to MySQL 5.

We have upgraded our hosting plans as follows:
Universal: 1GB webspace / 20GB monthly traffic
Business: 2GB webspace / 40GB monthly traffic

This upgrade has been made without passing any costs to our customers, and all existing accounts will automatically have the new resources available. This substantial increase will allow our customers to expand more effectively, paving the way for future expansions.

We are proud to announce that the domains hosted by ICDSoft are already over 75 000. The constant increase of this number clearly shows the level of service that we are providing.

Based on feedback from our clients, and in order to provide the best possible service, we are pleased to announce that we are introducing a new Universal plan, designed to best fit the needs of our customers. Additionally, we are upgrading the resources allocated to Business plan accounts, and we are now offering new discounts of up to 50%. More information on our new discount scheme can be found here.

All Personal plan accounts have been automatically upgraded to the Universal plan FREE OF CHARGE, and the Personal plan has been discontinued.

The number of domains hosted with us reached 70 000 today. We thank all our customers for the continued support, allowing us to excel at the services we provide.

Our existing customers and resellers can now order new hosting accounts at lower prices. The discount for a second, third, etc account is now 50% (vs. 20 USD till now). There are also new additional discounts for resellers, the total discount can reach 70% off our basic hosting prices.

Today the number of hosting accounts on our servers reached another milestone. More than 60 000 sites are now hosted on our servers.

Today we have added more power to our web hosting plans. All features have been upgraded at no additional cost to you: web space, monthly transfer, databases, ftp users, subdomains, and parked domains. You get more for the same price. Yes, that's right! For $5/mo(Personal plan) and $10/mo(Business plan) you have more web space, traffic and resources for your web site.

- All Personal Hosting Plan users will now enjoy 500MB of webspace and 7GB of monthly bandwidth for their web sites.
- All Business Hosting Plan users can have up to 1500MB of webspace and 21GB of monthly bandwidth - more than enough space and traffic allowance to meet the requirements of any content-heavy and dynamic business site.

In addition, all other features of the web hosting plans are upgraded as follows:
- 6 Databases for the Business plan and 2 for the Personal
- 27 FTP users for the Business plan and 9 for the Personal
- 21 Subdomains for the Business plan and 7 for the Personal

The active hosting accounts on our servers are now more than 55 000. We are very happy that all our efforts to provide services of superior quality are resulting in more and more loyal customers.

We have launched an entirely new reseller program. Our resellers can now monitor all their accounts from a single interface, which allows much easier accounting and administration. The new reseller program also features additional volume discounts. To see all the details, please check our "Resellers page".

We are glad to announce that we have integrated a new anti-virus feature into our system. When enabled, the anti-virus software will scan all incoming messages. In case viruses are found, the server will not deliver the infected messages to the user's mailbox. This is the most effective and modern anti-virus solution, and will certainly eliminate a lot of junk e-mail on our servers. Customers should have in mind that the anti-virus software is disabled by default and can be enabled from the Mail Manager in the online Control Panel.

With the world shocked by the devastation caused by the earthquake in Southeast Asia, we would like to express our deepest condolences to those affected. As a token of our sympathy, we decided to give one year of hosting service to all our current customers from the following countries: India, Indonesia, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
Although we realize that our actions will not help relieving the economical losses of the countries affected, we are at least doing everything in our power to help those we can. We urge everyone else out there to do the same!

The new Webmail is finally available to all our customers. Starting today, it is no longer a beta release and is our new official web-based e-mail interface. The new Webmail offers improved functionality and appearance.

After an extensive period of research and testing, we are glad to announce that we have implemented a new anti-spam system on all our mail servers. The new system utilizes a database containing mail servers and networks that are known sources of spam. Mail from these servers is filtered on our side. The database that we use is extremely precise and is updated real-time.

We are proud to announce that there are now 45 000 sites hosted within the ICDSoft network. We will continue to provide you with the great pricing and top quality service that you have come to expect and look forward to the ICDSoft family growing ever larger.

It is upgradeable in multiples, thus becoming the perfect solution for sites with highly dynamic requirements. In addition to the above, each Business plan account includes 3 MySQL databases, 6 parking slots, and many extra features, which you can review here.
Existing customers can upgrade to the Business plan upon request at our support site or by contacting us at hosting at icdsoft.com.
