Hosting: April 2008 Archives

Steve Jobs has Fake Steve Jobs. Shel Israel has a puppet. Paul Walsh has Walsh Watch.

It seems I've now got the next best thing - my own "wikipedia" page courtesy of Mr Eoin Costello. (He was in the news earlier this week when his hosting company was swallowed up)

I must say I am impressed. I didn't realise that Eoin was such a talented wit and not a bad graphic artist either.

It must have taken a couple of hours to put it all together. So maybe we'll see more of these little works of art now that he isn't distracted by his "booming" business.

Of course if he'd spent more time on his business maybe he would still be a "player" and not another footnote ...

Here's a screenshot of the page in case Mr Costello removes it.

We finally launched our VPS hosting plans about 20 minutes ago.

You can now choose between Centos or Windows Server 2003 powered VPS with optional Plesk!

Paul and I had been working on ironing out the last few bugs and annoying issues on the site for most of this evening, which is why I still haven't eaten anything (not that I can't go without food for a few days - I have plenty of surplus!)

There are probably issues, typos and other errors on the site which we haven't spotted, so if you do notice anything odd please let us know: management@blacknight.com OR simply leave a comment here.

We'll probably be making the official announcement / launch in the morning
