As part of our continuous infrastructure improvement, clients on our Aberdeen and Olympic servers in Hong Kong have now been moved to a new server. The IP address has changed and all concerned clients will receive details by email directly.
All migrated users will notice an increase in performance due to higher memory at the new server, as well as a better email deliverability.
For clients who have their domain names registered with SinoHosting, we would have updated the DNS to point to the new server already. If not, please make sure to update your DNS to ns15.sinohosting.net/ns16.sinohosting.net as soon as possible.
We thank you for your understanding on this matter. Please open a support ticket if you experience any issue with your website and we will make sure to assist you promptly.

In response to the increasing delays of our existing ICP license application process, and the growing backlog of existing applicants, we have been working on finding new ways to speed up this process and have our clients website obtain this license in a shorter period. We are happy to announce today the launch of a streamlined application process in partnership with a new datacenter provider in Shanghai, through which licenses can be approved in as few as 10-15 days after receipt of valid documents.
Going forward, ICP license application would follow the process below:
1) Clients receive the link to download the ICP license application package once they place the order through our website.
2) Read the procedures and prepare all required documents.
3) After filling the forms, they will send the scanned files back to our ICP department for confirmation.
4) Within 24h we will confirm whether everything is done properly, after which the original documents can be sent to the provided address.
The contact person, who must be a Chinese national, will need to come to our datacenter provider address to take a photo as per the requirements. Other alternatives are explained in the ICP application package.
Unfortunately, in order to move forward with the new system, we will not be able to process any outstanding application. Please resubmit a new application if you have not yet obtained an ICP license so that we can start to work on it immediately.
Existing clients who have further questions are welcome to open a ticket to our ICP department through our portal.

Due to a hardware failure at our server central.sinohosting.net in Hong Kong over last week end, followed by unsuccessful attempts for system recovery, a replacement server has been set up and all hosted clients on the central server migrated to that new server (with new IP address). If you using our DNS and were previously hosted on the central server, you do not need to do anything as our DNS were updated to the new IPs and your website should load automatically from the new location.
If you use your own DNS, please contact our support team to obtain the new server IP to manually point to that address.
We apologize for any downtime or inconvenience experienced over the last few days. Any affected client is requested to open a support ticket with our billing department to request a RMB100 downtime credit which will be automatically deducted from any future purchase or renewal invoice.

Due to an ongoing government investigation affecting one of our datacenters, servers in that datacenter are now offline. We do not have an ETA on when the issue will be solved and servers accessible again. For clients affected, we offer the option to set up a new server at a different datacenter. It will take a couple of days for the new server to be brought online and we will be giving a RMB300 credit to all affected clients.
We apologize for this issue which unfortunately is beyond our control.

Some new changes have been introduced by the relevant authorities in regard to the ICP license application and requirements. More specifically:
1) During the application, the website must be offline (403 or 404 status)
2) Previously, it was possible to run the website on a Hong Kong or oversea server while the license was being processed. That is not allowed any more.
3) Successful applicants must display and maintain their ICP license in the footer of their website homepage with a link to the relevant government website. This was always the rule but enforcement was lax. Now it is a hard requirement and not doing so can result in the cancellation of the ICP license.
4) It is not allowed to park or forward domains without ICP license towards websites that have valid ICP licenses. To do so, the parked or forwarded domain must also have an ICP license.
You can learn more about these new rules and more details about the ICP license application procedure and requirements at www.sinohosting.net/icp.php
