Most people use an easy to remember password for web sites. But this password may not be secure and some may be able to work out your password and steal your money or even your identity. Here are five tips for more secure passwords to protect yourself.

To celebrate Australia Day 2012, we are announcing five new web hosting plans on our new Australian server in Sydney. The new plans have double the storage space of our old plans and increased monthly data transfer while keeping the same prices.

If your customers are mainly in Australia, then our Australian Web Hosting will give your customers faster access to your web site. Testing has shown a 63% improvement in the download time for our company web site which we have already moved to the new Australian server.

The web is built on standards. The latest standard that is currently being finalised is HTML5. HTML5 is the language used to describe a web page. The new features in HTML5 (and related technologies) include:

• Visual effects like rounded corners, graduated fills, shadows and translucent elements. To deliver these effects before we used images which slowed down the loading of the web page.
• Improved support for video and audio.
• Added support for animation and interactivity. You can now have games in a web page.
• Improved form elements with validation and new form controls.
• Improved support for people with visual disabilities.

Introducing our new Web Hosting Plans with at least 50% more space for your web site, emails and photos.

The new plans give you the space to grow your web site to attract new customers. You now have the space to add even more information about your products and services.

Every few months we get a call from a customer who is having trouble accessing their web site and emails. They have purchased their web hosting through us but registered their domain name elsewhere.

When you register a domain name, the email address you enter is used to remind you when the domain name comes up for renewal. If you change your email address then you don't receive the renewal emails and when the time comes, the domain name expires without warning.
