At Cirrus Tech, we recognize that managing a dedicated server may be a daunting task for some of our clients. The high costs associated with managing your own server may outweigh the benefits of owning one. To relieve some of the anxiety, costs, and time of making the jump to a dedicated server, we have come up with new Server Management Plans.

It was brought to our attention from one of our long-standing clients that FrontPage was no longer functioning properly on his Linux shared hosting plan. After investigating the issue, we discovered that Microsoft had discontinued Linux support for FrontPage. While FrontPage functionality was not removed from the last version of Plesk, it is no longer distributed with it. Therefore, although Microsoft had discontinued Linux support, it was still functional to our clients that had been using FrontPage before Microsoft had discontinued Linux support. The problems arose when updates to Plesk were recently performed on our servers.

At Cirrus Tech, we are continuously looking for ways to enhance our products. Whether it is by revising our plans or by offering new hardware add-on options, Cirrus is always on the lookout for anything our current or potential clients can benefit from. After researching various hardware products to enhance our dedicated servers, we’ve decided to offer our current and potential dedicated server clients with a hardware load balancing, firewall, and VPN all-in-one solution from Hotbrick.

We’ve recently updated our Linux VPS Plans to include Yellow dog Updater, Modified (YUM). By including Yum as part of our Linux VPS Plans, you can take advantage of the benefits Yum offers right off the bat instead of having to manually install Yum yourself.
