Server Upgrade

As you know already, our main server which is “hera.ihostman.com” will be moved to a better hardware. We have already ordered the new server from our Datacenter which is Softlayer, USA. The new server physical location is Texas, Dallas. We have chosen Dallas location because the connectivity from Bangladesh is fast then any other location. We will inform you about the new Server Configuration very soon via our blog post.

We are expecting to start the transfer process from 20th January, 2012 at mid-night 12.00 AM(GMT +6). Please note, We do not expect any downtime during the transfer process. We will take every steps to keep all our client account up and running smoothly/properly.

To make the process faster, we may take down the following two service for 24-48 hour:

1. cPanel
2. FTP Server

So, while both the service set to down, user will not be able to access cPanel or upload any file to server using FTP. It is also recommended not to update any site while we ran the transfer process to avoid any file missing issue. Please note again, HTTP service or Web Access will stay up during this process.

We are expecting to complete the transfer process in 24hours time. As soon as the transfer process is completed, we will update the DNS Server.

*** Update regarding the transfer process will be informed via our blog post.

We hope to have your full co-operation during the transfer process.

NOC, TetraHost

Price increase for .COM & .NET domains!

Few days ago, we were notified by our mother domain registrar that, VeriSign, Inc. will be increasing the cost to register .com and .net TLD’s effective from January 15, 2012. Here is part of the announcement:

DULLES, VA — (MARKET WIRE) — 07/14/11 — VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), the trusted provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world, today announced, effective Jan. 15, 2012, an increase in registry domain name fees for .com and .net, per its agreements with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

This will be the third price increase, by Verisign, in the last few years. Adding to this, recently the USD Dollar Rate has increased significantly as well. A few month ago it was 70tk per USD but currently it is something around 80tk per USD.

Up until now, we have absorbed the cost of these price increases, however, we can no longer continue to absorb these price increases. We were trying to manage it within ourselves but with both Verisign Price increase and USD Dollar Rate increase we are forced to increase our Domain Registration cost for .COM and .NET

We would also like to mention that we are not going to increase the price heavily at all. Our price will remain same on USD rate which is 10$ but in BDT the price would be 800tk(previously it was 700tk). Effective from January 14, 2012, all existing domain registrations maintained by TetraHostbd.com will increase to the new rate of BDT 800tk/year per domain for .COM and .NET. The new price will be applicable for both, single and multiple(Domain Reseller) domain registration.

Thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions about this notice, please do not hesitate to reply this blog post.
