We have been notified of a large scale migration at the Unicom DC we currently use for our shanghai.sinohosting.net server. Due to the potential risk of data failure on top of the expected downtime, we have decided to ensure the availability of our clients sites to move all websites on that server to a new server at another Unicom datacenter in Shanghai.
We apologize for the short notice as the decision had been taken by Unicom withoutnotifying us. The migration is in process and should be completed by tomorrow. Most clients who have their domains with us or use our nameservers will not need to do anything. Clients who manage their domains and use third party DNS however will need to update manually their records to point to the new IP address. We will be opening a support ticket to those clients with instructions about IP change, once their account is migrated to the new server.
If you experience any issue after the server change either with your website or your emails, please submit a support ticket with our technical support team at support@sinohosting.net for immediate assistance.

We are happy to announce a major upgrade to our Linux shared hosting package, in China as well as in Hong Kong/overseas. Most packages see an increase of over 100% in terms of resources while the prices stay essentially the same. There is a slight increase in our China hosting packages, although resources are now aligned with our international hosting packages.
Existing clients will benefit of the upgraded packages but will continue to renew at their older prices. All new orders however will be charged at the new prices.
The most important changes:
1) Disk space and bandwidth limits are increased
2) Prices stay the same for basic and business plans, the corporate plan increases to RMB2,500/year
3) There is an increase on all China-hosted plans respectively to 750, 1,500 and 3,000/year
4) Now China-hosted plans have the same disk space and bandwidth limits as the HK/international hosting plans (prices are higher though).
5) Now there is no option to purchase add-on domains. The corporate plan comes can support 10 domains, other plans support 1 domain only. If a client has a different domain he will need to purchase a second hosting package (or upgrade to the corporate plan).
We are also happy to introduce new international hosting locations, which are Miami in the USA and Netherlands in Europe.
Should you have any questions, please contact our sales department at sales @ sinohosting.net

Registration takes 7 days and the domain can be hosted in Hong Kong or overseas, but not in mainland China due to the ICP licensing requirements.
The cost of the registration is RMB180.

Due to networking issues at the upstream provider, the IP address 112.213.126.20 was unavailable since April 6th, 2012, taking offline all sites hosted on this IP. We have immediately taken the necessary measures to obtain a new IP and have clients sites migrated on that IP in our system.
For clients who are using our nameservers ns19.sinohosting.net / ns20.sinohosting.net their sites should be back online now as they would be automatically updated by the system. For clients using external nameservers however they will need to update manually their records to the new IP. Please open a support ticket to obtain the new IP information.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Since yesterday late night we are experiencing recurring DDoS attacks on the server taipo. Due to the scale of the attack there is little the datacenter can do to mitigate other than temporarily null routing the IP. This will affect uptime of all sites hosted on it.
We apologize for the inconvenience but in a shared hosting environment there is little we can do as we do not know the client site that is causing the DDoS. We are exploring alternatives including changing the server IP addresses to see if this can solve the issue.
Clients who have their own backups and want to be migrated to a different server can submit a ticket at support@sinohosting.net so that we activate a new account for them.
