fantastico is now installed on the new server and available in your control panel for your enjoyment.
make sure to use the new control panel url:
https://serversaurus.com:2083/
(using https ensures your password is never visible on the internet)
cheers,

hi folks,
as part of the move, we have changed the way you connect to webmail. it now automatically redirects you to a secure connection to the server. if you are accessing webmail via your control panel or a bookmark, you may get a warning saying that the name of the certificate (serversaurus.com) doesn’t match the site you are connecting to (yourdomain.com). to avoid this message, just use the following url to access your webmail:
https://serversaurus.com:2096/
cheers,
marty.
hi folks,
everything is set for the server migration tomorrow night. some folks have reported that our original blog post that announced the move was caught by gmail spam filters, so if you didn’t see the message and don’t have time to update your nameservers, just let us know and we can delay moving your site.
check in at the blog for updates.
cheers,
marty.
at serversaurus we want to give you the best web hosting experience.
unfortunately, we have been experiencing a number of difficulties with
our current service provider, and as a result, have not delivered that promise.
after discussions with them to try to improve the situation, we have
decided that we need to change to a new service provider.
after much research, we have decided on a new provider and have set up
a server with them and tested it. the response time of the server and quality
of the server is fantastic, and so is the responsiveness of the new provider,
which was one of our main concerns.
to ensure minimum disruption to our customers, we are scheduling the
change to the new server to occur over the weekend of the 7th and 8th
april, 2007. your account will be moved to the new server between
20:00 and 23:00 (7pm and 11pm) on saturday the 7th april (aest, gmt +10).
if you have your internet domain registered with us, you don’t need to
do anything. if you are managing your own domain, you’ll need to update
the nameservers to:
ns1.serversaurus.com and
ns2.serversaurus.com
please make this change on saturday night or as early as you can on sunday
morning.
the change may take up to 24 hours to propagate through the dns system,
so please be patient. usually you can make the change immediate by simply
rebooting your computer.
please try to avoid updating your website on sunday 8th april, as your
computer or isp may still have dns records pointing to the old server, and
you may end up having to make the change twice.
your new control panel address is:
https://serversaurus.com:2083/
if you should need to get to your old control panel for any reason, you
will be able to reach it at:
https://old.serversaurus.com:2083/
we’ll post updates as the move progresses.
also please note, we span europe and australia, and are available for
24 hour support, so feel free to email us at any time.
if this is an inconvenient time for us to move your website, let us know
and we will arrange a different changeover time for your account.
kind regards,
the serversaurs.
it’s been a while since our last post. but then again, we only post when we have something to say, and this time do we ever.
in light of the environmental impact our lives are taking on the planet, we think it’s high time business took some responsibility. we believe the focus should not just be on profiteering, but also about promoting ethical business and environmental concerns. words are both poetic and engaging, however action speaks volumes, and we’re ready to announce that we’ve shifted into gear: we don’t want to become extinct (again), so we’re offsetting our CO2 emissions, and donating 1% of our profits annually to preserve the natural environment.
does this mean prices are going up? no. does it mean you can drive your car more because your webhosting is neutral? no, and if you do, we’ll send a prehistoric carnivore to your home address.
so the nitty gritty details are, that we’ve had 49 trees planted by Greenfleet which in turn offsets the 12 tons of CO2 emissions our servers produce yearly. that’s equivalent to the yearly emissions of three average cars! we’ve also committed ourselves to One Percent for the Planet, an organisation rallying businesses to donate 1% of profits, to be distributed amongst non-profit organisations who work to ensure our species has a future, and avoids extinction.
so for all our existing customers, feel free to announce that your webhosting is carbon neutral and environmentally conscious. and if you want to (we dearly hope you do), consider also letting other people know about us, so we can continue to grow and put more of our funds into causes that make a difference.
and last but least, if you are a potential new customer, remember that webhosts are a dime a dozen, and then ask yourself whether those other eleven care enough to try and do something positive.

we’ve had requests from customers for prices for additional disk space and bandwidth. some sites need more of one, but not the other, so we decided to introduce prices for extras.

it’s been over a month since the last post, so maybe marty was right; maybe the serversaurus.com blog will diminish into a millennial post cycle… but not quite yet!
news
we’ve been sending out new invoices to people as they reach the end of their year-long hosting contracts, so i hope you’ve all noticed the pretty little .pdf’s we’ve been attaching for your records. marty has been coding & refining our customer management software in his spare time to make everything easier for us, and more informative for you.
we’ve also been making enquiries into getting some serversaurus.com tshirts made. nice australian made cotton tees with our usual serversaurus minima text on them. we’ll keep you updated. they’ll be given away to people on certain plans, and maybe a few random existing customers. lucky we have marty to keep me in check, as if it was my choice alone i’d be blowing this years profits on sending you all free ones

marty likes to embellish time passing. no updates for a million years? c’mon! especially since we just had our 1 year anniversary.
no, not marty and i, i meant serversaurus. this is a blog about a webhost, not a couple from sydney.
so to celebrate we took our #1 client out for a japanese lunch (not very prehistoric i know.) … you may be wondering what makes daryl our #1 client. that’s a fair thing to wonder… is it because he calls our business a de-centralised synergetic web hosting provider, all while eating sushimi? yes possibly. but here at serversaurus.com we like to think it’s because he’s the only blogger we host who doesn’t threaten to update his blog more than once in a million years. in fact, his updates create bandwidth headaches and the http daemon to pack his bags and threaten to leave us. but in all seriousness, we love you daryl… just not in a sydney kind of way.
here is a picture of us taken by damian. he would have been our #2 customer, but he threatened to offer us his html services.
daryl to the left, marty in the middle… oh and that twelve year old on the right is me. happy birthday serversaurus. you rock.
nick.
welcome to the serversaurus.com weblog. We’ll post updates here every million years or so to let you know about new services, changes and anything else we dig up.
marty.
