We have now enabled Fantastico on CPanel accounts at our Hong Kong hosting location.
Fantastico is a WHM/CPanel utility that allows users to add, update or delete useful open-source programs through a few clicks. These programs include blogs (WordPress, Nucleus etc.), content management systems or CMS (Drupal, Joomla, Mambo, Typo3, Xoops etc.), forums platforms (PHPBB, SMF), e-commerce software (Cubecart, OSCommerce, Zen Cart etc.) and many more.
This function will still be unavailable on the older server (IP 202.181.234.60), if you are on that server and need Fantastico, you can contact us to have a new account set up in another Hong Kong server and start migrating to that server.
We therefore now have Fantastico on our US, Singapore and Hong Kong locations. China-based CPanel accounts however do not have Fantastico enabled.

Due to the strong demand for our Hong Kong shared hosting accounts, we have added this month two new Linux servers. These servers are also CPanel-based with the latest PHP, Mysql configurations. The specs are higher than our previous server, so existing clients who want their accounts moved to this new server can contact us for us to set them up.

Since today at noon one of our DNS servers is having some issues which will cause some sites not to be accessible. This issue will affect primarily clients with sites hosted in mainland China, or using ns3.sinohosting.net / ns4.sinohosting as DNS servers. We have contacted the datacenter where this DNS server is hosted at and are working to get them back online asap. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We have been informed by datacenter than the IP address 221.181.67.170 has been turned off due to one site on this server hosting illegal contents, resulting in all sites on that server becoming not available. As per the Chinese law in that regard, the server will be reopened only after investigation, which unfortunately won’t happen before October 8th when the holidays finish. We do apologize for the downtime for clients which sites are hosted on that server, however there is nothing much we can do other than wait for the datacenter. We do not have access to the files on the server to move clients sites to a new server/IP address.
For clients who have a backup of their site please contact us immediately by opening a support ticket through our homepage to have an account set up for you on another server.
Update: The IP address 58.215.65.53 is now affected by the same issue. Clients with sites on that IP address can contact us to obtain a new account on another server to which they can upload their site.

Due to the national days holidays here in China our office will be closed from October 1st to 8th. Phone support will be unavailable during that time. We will however continue to provide basic support through email and support tickets. New orders will be processed as usual, however for dedicated servers we won’t be able to get them up as local datacenters will not be operating during that period.
