Latest Updates (1/29/08)

The new server is online and taking new accounts for ad free. It's name is "Starka".

It will most likely take a few days to catch up on the ad-free queue, it's moving along quickly though.

An awesome new feature is almost fully implemented for backups. I can guarantee no other free host out there at this time offers this backup solution. You should notice an r1soft backup icon in your cPanel's. This allows you to pick out files from snapshots we have taken of your accounts so you may restore old files with just a few clicks, without any admin intervention. We are still deciding how many restore points we will make available. We may do 1 every other day or something similar with access to 10-15 points total.

cPanel has been replaced with a new theme. No, you can't change it . All the same functions of the regular cPanel are there, it's just a different color. We are slowly customizing it to better help us and you. We hope to have some tracking of processes and such implemented at some point also. If you hate it that much you can always upgrade to paid hosting ;)

If you are currently in queue for Ad-Enhanced and need your account ASAP I would re-signup for Ad-free. We have not decided what we will be doing with the ad-enhanced sign-ups going forward. We WILL still support ad-enhanced though.

I will be posting a poll shortly to get community feedback on which support system everyone prefers. (Forum \ Tickets). Please take a moment to vote in this poll.

Hi Corey,
Unfortunately, new backup solution does not work for me (and old one is vanished). When I click on R1 Restore Backup icon, I can see only error page with message about wrong security certificate on zodiac.x10hosting.com (Error code "sec_error_unknown_issuer").

[Corey]

If you're using FireFox, hit get certificate and answer yes to whatever it asks.

hmm...

Well I've been hinting that the R1Soft Backups button was a mistake but I was so wrong lol.

Thanks Corey!

The backup restore shows:
Warning: file(/var/db/buagent/serverurl) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /tmp/cpanel_phpengine.1233311799.13061BGt4uxagEd on line 29
Unable to find the backup server URL. This may be because the server has not yet been backed up.

As Corey said on his first post, this is a tool which is being implemented. Some servers doesn't have the backup tool enabled yet (Even if they see the icon on cPanel).

so will this feature ,r1, be implemented just on the new servers, or will they be on old ones too (lotus, etc...) eventually?

as always, love seeing updates

The new backup feature will be eventually installed on every server, old and new.
