Dear Customers,

We are moving all our Romania  hosted VPS systems from Cluj-Napoca to the Omnilogic data center, near Bucharest. Omnilogic the newest data center in Romania and the only one that is tier 3 certified. You can find more details about the data center here: http://www.omnilogic.ro/en/datacenter

Customers will also experience improved network latency of up to 20 ms due to the fact that all ISPs are peering are done in Bucharest and because we'll be using one of the best connected and engineered networks in Romania: the Hostway network. You can test latency and run trace routes to 176.223.207.10

A domain can only contain letters a-z numbers 0-9 or hyphens, and no part can end or start with a hyphen. Also, domains that are only 2 letters (e.g. aa.co.uk) or one character are not valid (except the few that are currently registered). You should use a sensible name and not one that is someone else's trademark as there are procedures for domains to be challenged.

In a blog entry posted today, ICANN President and CEO Rod Beckstrom affirms that ICANN is ready to begin receiving applications for New gTLDs on 12 January.

In order to actively monitor all coupon codes out in the general public, we will be expiring all current coupon codes as of Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012. If you are currently promoting using a coupon code, please read the details below as to the changes.

We have been notified by VeriSign that it plans to raise the cost for their respective TLDs on January 15, 2012. As with previous VeriSign price increases, SoluWorks must adjust our pricing such that we can absorb the increased costs for reselling VeriSign's TLDs.
