We are pleased to pre-announce that we will be adding soon Hong Kong to the list of server locations available from SinoHosting. We expect it to go live in the first quarter of 2009. Subscribe to our newsletter or to this blog to receive updates when this comes into effect.
One of our servers in Shanghai is experiencing some technical problems since this morning, resulting in some downtime for some of our users. This is a server that we have with China Telecom. They are working on the problem now and we hope to have the server back online very soon.
We apologize for the inconvenience. As this server has experienced similar problems recently as well, we plan to move users on that server to a new one that is more reliable. If your site is on that server, you can contact us to have your site moved asap.
We now provide IT support for businesses in Shanghai. Please visit the newly launched website www.sinonetworks.net for more information on the services available.
SinoNetworks is a partnership between Sinovantage International (our company) and three local IT firms in Shanghai. This enables us to cover most of the Shanghai geographical region. Feel free to contact us for your office IT needs including networking issues, troubleshooting, IP and telephony (PABX setup), data backup and recovery etc.
We are proud to announce that we’ve been added as one of the top choices at WebHostingSearch.com when it comes to affordable hosting in China. Please visit their site and read about what they had to say in their review about SinoHosting – we couldn’t be any prouder.
WebHostingSearch.com functions as one of the most influential web hosting directories online – reviewing and ranking all of the major hosting companies.

We offer a 50% off .asia and .hk/.com.hk domains this month only with the purchase of any web hosting plans. You can therefore get the dot asia at RMB100 (about USD15) and the dot hk at RMB200 (USD29). Use coupon code 45pl90z when placing the order.
As before, the generic (.com, .net, .org, .biz, .info) and Chinese (.com.cn, .cn etc.) are free with the purchase of our overseas plans (starting from RMB300/Year for the Basic Plan). For details on all available plans please check www.sinohosting.net/web-hosting.php
As some of you are aware, our billing system couldn’t allow the registration of dot cn domains (clients had to choose “I want to transfer my domain to SinoHosting.net” instead even if the domain was not registered yet). We have recently upgraded the billing software to the latest version and the bug has been fixed now.
We have also added the option to register dot asia domains from the system. The cost is RMB200/Year.
Due to server move at China Telecom, accounts using the IP address 222.73.240.197 need to update their IP to 61.129.57.203. This includes databases as well and is effective as of today.
The change will affect about 5% of China hosted sites. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
We have added Moneybookers as a payment method for our hosting services. After sign up you will be able to select that payment term. The email address to use is payments@sinovantage.cn
We are having some issues with our main DNS since this morning (ns1.sinohosting.net / ns2.sinohosting.net). Your site access may be affected if you are using those. Our server admins are working on it and everything should be back to normal asap.
Clients on other DNS (ns3/ns4, ns5/ns6 etc.) should not be affected.
