It’s almost May already and, so far, we’ve had no takers for our annual FREE charity web site.

We’d really like to make a difference for a non-profit organisation, so if you know of one that would like to take us up on our offer (full details at http://sites4youreyes.co.uk/service/s4ye_difference.htm), please let them know!

Thank you!

PHP has been upgraded on all webservers from 5.3.9 to 5.3.10 because of a security vulnerability discovered yesterday evening. More details can be found here.

From today, we’re offering all of our Linux hosting customers free installs of MODX, a content management system (CMS) offering you the ability to build sites quickly, easily and creatively.

MODX is extremely versatile and it can now be installed in seconds from your control panel.

Features:

MODX’s many features include:

• Responsive design for both your site and your control panel
• Intuitive, highly customisable manager
• Search engine friendly out of the box
• Ability to password protect content across various levels of user access
• Excellent caching mechanism for fast loading
• Flexible add-on system
• Multi-lingual support
• No need to know PHP; make changes using HTML
• Active and enthusiastic community

Demo:

You can try MODX out without installing it by visiting the live demo at http://www.trymodx.com.

Installing MODX:

Simply log into your Hosting Control Panel and scroll down to the ‘CGI scripts’ panel, where you’ll find an icon for ‘MODX’. Click on the icon to install via our one-click installer.

Each year, we donate a web site, with domain registration and hosting free of charge and in perpetuity, to a charitable organisation.

In 2011, our donation was to OneHeart, a charity helping the homeless in Bangor, Gwynedd, north Wales.

We are now looking for nominations for 2012′s free site. If you run, or are involved in a charity, and would like to be considered for a FREE web site, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We will select a charity from the nominations that we receive around the end of February.

Welcome to the BRAND NEW Sites4YourEyes web site! It’s been a while in development, but here we are, all shiny & new, and ready to work with you. We hope you’ll like our offerings, and look forward to welcoming you into the fold of our happy customers.

We’re working hard to improve our range of services and products, so keep an eye on our & pages, and here on our blog, for announcements as they happen.

Expect announcements soon about the launch of new VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVER and DEDICATED SERVER offerings.
