Virtual Hosting Company is proud to announce that we've made some more changes.  We've put time into researching what best serves our customer.  With that in mind, we've made some design changes on our website, discontinued offering certain services, and we've got a few promotions getting ready to start up.  Each of the changes we make are targeted towards our clients and potential clients.

The First, and largest change, this update is related to our Billing System.  We've upgraded from WHMCS 4.1.2 to WHMCS 4.3.1.  With this comes a wide variety of new features that our clients will see in the coming days.  Please note: These changes vary based on the type of service you currently subscribe to, how often you visit the Billing System, and what we've actually started to use from it.  The primary concern we had was stability and bug fixes, and we feel that 4.3.1 does both.

Our Second change is related to a new addition to our Social Communities.  As many of you know, Facebook has been an outlet for us for a few months.  We've gotten a grip on a few things here and there, expanded some of the offerings we've seen, and really seen an increase in our visitors based on it.  Now, with our success with Facebook (although, we're always looking for more "Likes" at www.Facebook.Com/VirtualHostingCompany), we've decided it's time to add a Twitter feed as well.  Those of you visiting the Billing Portal will notice the Twitter Feed is now active.  Those wanting to Follow Us may do so at twitter.com/VirtHost (@VirtHost).

Our Third change being announced today is the discontinuing of our Windows-based Webhosting.  After more than a year of offering Windows-based website hosting services, we've decided that the demand does not support the cost associated with it.  We've contacted our Windows-based hosting clients to update them on the change, and have taken steps to ensure they are taken care of appropriately.  We're pleased that we were able to retain all of our Windows-based hosting clients even though we've discontinued the service.

Fourth on our list today is our changes to the main website.  Those of you visiting frequently will notice that we've moved our Streaming Radio to the IRC Category and renamed that Category to reflect the change.  We're working on increasing some of the information we provide on the Local PC Repair services we offer, so you'll see some changes coming there as well.  We've updated our About page to reflect current status information of our servers.  With the Third change above, we've updated our Windows Hosting page to reflect the discontinued service status.  One of the major updates we've started, though, is providing additional information on the Servers we offer, including specifics such as the version of Apache, PHP, MySQL, IonCube, Zend, and Curl loaded.  We're still expanding to include more specific software packages, but we think this is a great start.  Like the changes?  Let us know!

Last update for today has to be the October Promotions.  This month's promotion code is October2010 and gives 5% off your order, regardless of what service you select.  This discount will apply for a recurring 10 billing cycles (meaning the code repeats for 10 bills, regardless of how frequently you wish to be billed).  Please note: This discount code must be used by 11:59pm by October 31st.  Now, for a little kicker.  With it being October of 2010, we may throw out another promo code on our Twitter Feed sometimes this month.  Interested in getting that code too?  Follow Us on Twitter @VirtHost (http://twitter.com/VirtHost)
