One of a very dear customer called me up today morning and asked where am I since last few days as he had been following the blogs and didn't find new update, and I answered him to check the blogs later in the evening to get the answer :)

And here we go, I'm pleased to share the launch of our Business Email Hosting Solutions in India. The Solutions are being powered by RightMX, our Co. working towards Email Hosting Solutions with an astonishing detection rate for Anti Spam & Anti Viruses. RightMX has been in the industry for over last 7 Years and have helped hundreds of small and bigger companies including MultiNational Giants to protect their emails from Spam & Viruses providing a reliable & secure Messaging platform.

So why am I emphasizing more on the word SPAM and what it is in real term, during my interaction with lot of customers I have realized that still the concept of SPAM is very much un clear in people's mind. Majority of people still consider the spam to be something which is advertising V I A G R A or I N K or another similar things..not to forget the P O R N sites. But is that the only definition of SPAM ? not really..lets see what WIKIPEDIA has to say about SPAM

E-mail spam, also known as unsolicited bulk email (UBE) or unsolicited commercial email (UCE), is the practice of sending unwanted e-mail messages, frequently with commercial content, in large quantities to an indiscriminate set of recipients. -- from WIKIPEDIA

So WIKIPEDIA talks about two things UCE & UBE, UCE is basically a term defined for the mails which are having commercial content such as selling some kind of products or subscription or any other services, UBE or unsolicited bulk email is the term defined to the mails which may or may not have commercial content but are still sent in bulk, and what the word UNSOLICITED means...in the Internet Jargon..it means I didn't asked for it and you sent it so any mails which are sent to multiple recipients, but are not asked by the recipient to be sent may fall in the category of UBE.

So why am I talking much about it ? Because Spam & viruses are & going to be a big challenge and a major problem for all internet users, ISP's, service providers & the Organizations. Spam continues to present serious security and resource risks to an organization's infrastructure: overloading systems, clogging mailboxes, defrauding recipients, reducing employee productivity and draining morale. It also increases the frequency, severity and cost of virus attacks and related threats, such as the damage to an employer's reputation from inadvertently sending spam or viruses.

What that hurts more is the latest & advanced ways with which the spammers are coming up, previously spammers used their own servers and thereby devised techniques to avoid blacklists. Today, they rely on virus writers and hackers to provide a constant supply of servers to hide their identity and generate huge volumes of mail from the infected computers of recipients.

Spam today contributes 80 % of the total Email volumes !!! Think of it 80 % wow..that means out of every 100 unfiltered mails you'll get only 20 mails which are useful..what a waste of time, money & bandwidth.

So what's the solution ? Companies like RightMX integrates leading open source technologies with their solutions and offer an astonishing & unbelievable detection rate of Spam & Viruses which are detected & filtered even before they reach your mailbox. And we are proud to be Authorized Partners for RIGHTMX solutions and we present the series of the solutions among which the first one RightMX Standard Email Hosting Solution in India.

Its a great solution at a very low price, Rs.300/MailBox/year and what's more if your organization have multiple domains theirs no charge for adding them, just add the domain in the control panel at no extra charge as we only charge you for the MailBoxes and not the Domains :)

Ok I know its little late but you'd still like to hear and thank me for being not too late ;), and the news is that .ASIA domain names are now available for registration with WIPL.

We are experiencing some delays in launching our Managed Dedicated Server product line as we'd been really really busy in the deployment of the recent addition to our web hosting services. As you are aware we've recently done major upgrades to our services and a lot of additions in our existing infrastructure and hence we've decided to reschedule the dedicated server launch to Wednesday April 16, 2008.

So what would our Managed Dedicated Servers come up with ? Expect some real hardworking, shining boxes on Windows Dedicated Servers, Cpanel based Linux Dedicated Servers, VPS on Windows & Linux and yes Fully Managed Dedicated Servers in India colocated on Indian DataCenter's at the prices which would amaze you and tempt you to own one.

In India we've a very popular saying " Patience is bitter but her fruit is sweet" and all I can say is that wait for our offers, coz the fruit gonna be the sweetest :)

Its again 4 AM & now here's the announcement of the Year, Finally its Online...Our Tech Team has completed the testing & installation of our Shiny Brand new rocking Windows 2008 boxes, WIPL is proud to announce the arrival of WINDOWS 2008 Hosting on a production environment.

Yes you heard it right, its not an Beta or a Theta ;) Its the final production hosting and entire WIPL team is too proud to be the First hosting Co. in India to launch Windows 2008 Hosting on Commercial platform and to Celebrate the whole event we are now offering a 3 months absolutely NO RISK FREE TRIAL to test our Windows 2008 Hosting. You don't have to pay anything now...we only need an id proof of yours in order to avoid any abuse of the offer... Exciting huh ?

All right, I'm writing this post at 4 AM morning of IST and I'm just excited to inform that we just finished up installing SILVERLIGHT support on all our Windows Servers, something you won't find with any other web hosting provider in india except WIPL :)

So what is Microsoft Silverlight ?

Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. It is the latest technology from Microsoft which would help designers to deliver cutting edge application.

Everyday we get mails from customers saying this co. is selling cheap and that co. is selling cheap, and we should also start selling the cheapest hosting in India. I thought this is the right time I'll address this issue and share my views with you and let you know why WIPL is the best web hosting company in India.

Every time a customer is tempted by the cheapest offers in web hosting they miss the point that Web Hosting just like any other service industry demands that you as a customer must not only look for low prices but pay attention to other factors as well while choosing a right host for you.

Market is flooded with cheap hosts claiming the cheap web hosting offers in India. You as a consumer must realize that the options that you'll receive will be tremendously limited with these operators. This cheap pricing makes Web hosting more accessible to consumers who want to obtain an Internet presence for their individual interests or for the purposes of experimentation. Lower price schemes however always means that the quality level of the hosting will be less than stellar. Cheap hosts can offer low prices because most take a "worry-free" no customer service & no performance related approach to this kind of hosting.

In order to attain the profitability most of cheap hosting service providers would host thousands of domains on a single server, these servers are again not clustered rather operate as a stand alone servers which severely degrade the performance of the server. Not just the server load but also the network efficiency comes to a bottle neck as most of these machines are capped with a 10 MBPS port speed, net result slow performance , frequent downtimes and yes you start losing your mails and customers. Most of the cheap web hosting service providers in India can not even provide a SLA on 24/7 uptime due to these.

I'm excited to announce that we now support the Ruby on Rails Hosting across all our Linux Servers.

Ruby on Rails is one of the most popular new framework for the Ruby language that supports Ajax and lots of exciting & cool features like database migration deployment of popular applications & lot more. Although it may require little learning curve and we'd be soon publishing a new set of tutorials and instructions which would help you to deploy various application on the single domain using the RUBYONRAILS.

Ruby on Rails has been gettong quite popular lately and we had lot of customer queries who wanted web hosting on Ruby on Rails in India also. Here we are with the support not only for Ruby on Rails but also for various other gems on our Cpanel Hosting.

For people who are not familiar with ROR (Ruby on Rails) here are some facts and its advantages which would help you in gaining insight over this new technology :

You asked, we heard and it now here, Advanced New version of SmarterMail 5X for our Windows Hosting Customer is just round the corner, We've tested the new version in our Labs and its all set and ready to go online on our Servers.

Windows Hosting Customers can now expect to see a faster & better webmail with lots of new features next week, full announcement about this could be found here What can you expect from New SmarterMail ? Oh well...a lot but yes Better AntiSpam, Better Control, Better AntiVirus & lot more, and its all going to be available soon with WIPL.

Me...I simply loved the new design..and I'm pretty excited to have it on all our Windows Hosting Servers soon.The Cost-effective Alternative to Microsoft Exchange^TM

I'm extremely delighted with the feedback we've received from all our customers about the new website design we just launched, and yeah about the plans too. Lot of customers have wrote back to me about various slly and small errors we had in the design for eg. the Bug with the IE 6 which makes the right module bar go down in the Windows Web Hosting & Linux Web Hosting pages pages we launched for our india based customers, also about the spelling and the content related mistakes and we've been fixing them fast.

Our new design is completely based upon a Content Management System which makes the life of our design team so easy, they can upload, delete,  change & manage the content on a fly. If you don't know much about the Content Management Systems then I'll suggest you to have a look at Most Popular Content Management Systems like, Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress (yeah that too) Expression Engine & SiteFrame. Did I tell you that WIPL offers & support Web Hosting in India on all such content management systems as well.

Lastly, thanks for all suggestions you've sent, all wonderful feedback you've given and all time you've taken up to help us in letting us know how can we improve our design and the user experience on our website and in coming weeks you'll see that happening :)
