http://www.tensioncore.com/Blog.php The site's main News Feed Thu, 01 Nov 2007 17:00:00 PST http://www.tensioncore.com/Blog.php The new name of the combined Tensioncore Design and Tensioncore Game Studios! Also, with the new name came the new website http://www.tensioncore.org! The new website will be home to the free services of Tensioncore Design Studios, while tensioncore.com remains the home of all paid services. http://www.tensioncore.com/Blog.php Our Servers are now 100% ready for hosting, and in addition to our recent addition of Ram, our primary web server is now faster too!. Primary goals effective January 1st are to promote the business, and gain clients. Secondary goals are to put in place extensive hardware upgrades, including a second web server, capable of multiple virtual servers running simultaneously (not that our current one cant, just be able to run MORE!). More updates on the way! Spread the word of Tensioncore Web Hosting! http://www.tensioncore.com/Blog.php We are proud to announce the launch of Tensioncore Mobile at http://m.tensioncore.com (.ca as well)! The website is for those who have discovered Tensioncore by means of internet search on their mobile phones and devices. The full website, when viewed on a mobile device will automatically send you to the mobile version. http://www.tensioncore.com/Blog.php We've finally gained compatibility across all browsers! The old Portal menu has now been replaced by our new navigation based on the existing website design.

There was a big problem with the source we previously wrote, in that it wouldn't display properly on Internet Explorer, BUT only when it was nested within a Table, otherwise it worked fine. This is great as we've had many complaints on the issue, and worked for a long time to fix it. It is also great on the SEO side of things, as the new links are in the head of the page as well as completely text/readable by all browsers. Our next big goal for the website is to incorporate more AJAX features. http://www.tensioncore.com/Blog.php The ordering process on the website is now complete! I've been working my butt off for 3 days now to get a secure and precise ordering form working, and with success, we can now process PayPal orders for all hosting orders made on the website! The only thing we need to tie the knot for now is the Client-Area, otherwise, for most Clients the hosting as it is, is more than good enough! We're going to have a staff party to celebrate the near completion of tensioncore.com this weekend, as well as outline major projects for the future in order to better serve our web Hosting! So look out World! Tensioncore Web Hosting is going to take you by storm! Cheers. http://www.tensioncore.com/Blog.php Everything is going according to planned right now, and I'm personally very happy with things. There are some minor services we need to work on, these such things being: -Email Admin (for L4 hosting) -The webmail we are working on has been taken off the website, and we're continuing to work on it offline to fix some fairly notable issues, otherwise version 3 is online right now, and the new Version 4.3 will be online sometime this month if all goes well. -We're going to take the Virtual Dedicated hosting down until further notice, in order to better suit the current web server. As well we are in the process of evaluating various virtual Servers. -And last, but not least, our final major project is going to be completed; The Client Area. The Client Area is going to be a web based information portal for all of our clients to use to see such information as: The amount of time remaining on their hosting plan(s), their package extras (as well as associated features), The Email Admin (if Email accounts are in their plan), support forms to get prompt support and much more information regarding accounts (Please Note: absolutely no addresses/money/personal information will be stored online) http://www.tensioncore.com/Blog.php The past week has been very hectic in the office! With the new website design up, it's been adding fuel to my motivation to improve the website and everything possible to do with the business and getting it on the ground running! I've successfully tested all of the features of our web hosting now, except for the Virtual Dedicated features! I will post a list of files run off of the server to demonstrate all of our supported features probably in the middle of the month. For now I'm ready to go all out with this and start advertising! Firstly though I want to update the ordering process to more of a shopping cart style, as to make it as simple as possible! Please if you are reading this, and you have feedback on our progress, don't hesitate to send it from the contact form! Look forward to another update very shortly! http://www.tensioncore.com/Blog.php Well, it's been almost a year since October 2007, and we're now on version 6 of the website! Welcome the new look, and features! This is a big step for us, and well it actually represents a lot of change with how we are managing everything as well as the incorporation of all our new services including Tensioncore Design and Tensioncore Contracting! Tensioncore Game Studio has a refined team now, since losing a few members. The video game development has also been effected by the new managing of everything. As per usual the entire website has been built using only Notepad, and Photoshop CS2. The Portal has long-been effected by not working in Internet Explorer, and we sincerely regret this problem for those using IE. Be assured we are working on getting it to work in a multi-table environment (which is the problem currently). We are also going to implement a New PayPal payment system within a couple of months. We are looking at PayPal's new Express Checkout. Another area of Tensioncore being effected by our new managing is the Tensioncore Server Platform. I've had a very busy summer, and with the running around, my full time job as a carpenter, as well as a two week vacation to Seattle, I've been shooting a lot of ideas around to improve Tensioncore, and NOW is the time that they are being implemented. Tensioncore is now Tensioncore Administration Services, a mother company to all-services-Tensioncore. http://www.tensioncore.com/Blog.php By now, our site has been online for 7 months (in 2 more days). We've seen the likes of PageRank already, dozens of Search Engines, and the topic of various forum communities. The News today is that Our Site is nearly ready for going live! This is a huge step for me personally, and especially for Tensioncore! Our steps were big in the beginning, and very coordinated, starting with the website design you see today, and running the site off of our IP address. No more than a few weeks later we registered our Domain Tensioncore.com, and made the point we're ready for some serious business! The site is an on-going project that has dynamically grown to it's almost-finished state as it is now. I am proud to announce we will be registering Tensioncore.ca as of our [i]Official[/i] website launch of professional web hosting on Windows Server 2008! The launch is expected to be in late August of this year, with a few minor, as well as major features to be finished off, these including: the Support Section, a re-designing of the Packages section, and the most important part of the website, the payment methods implemented via detailed PayPal payment pages and methods. http://www.tensioncore.com/Blog.php So I attended the Microsoft Heroes Happen {here} event yesterday, and walked away with a heap load more of knowledge on subjects I thought I already knew most about. I've been Beta Testing Windows Server 2008 since it was called Windows Server (c) Codename "Longhorn"...so needless to say I've seen it's in and outs all the way until its launch just last month. They supplied attendees with a Full Version of Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 (which by the way was only released a couple weeks ago). As well as this full version of Vista was a Full License version of Visual Studio 2008, and about 3 Copies of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (x86, x64, and with Hyper-V*TM). There was an entire list of Vendors sponsoring the show also giving away free full version software (read it, no limit, no trial: FULL VERSION), Some of these vendors included Quest Software, Avanade, Intel, AMD, the Vista team (of course), Dell, HP, just to name some of them. Personally, I walked away with the full Bag of Microsoft goodies, which definitely enlightened my position in Tensioncore. I also snagged some Quest Management software for Windows Server 2008. In any case, We're a long way off from getting the Hosting on the road, and out of our "Beta" stage... This being said Free hosting is going to stay as long as we are Beta. Any support we can get would be majorly appreciated, and definitely made known. By Support, we mean anything, IT Pro support, PHP Developers, ASP Developers, money of course... For money contributions we will advertise free for you or your business, as well as provide free full feature web hosting, and/or even Business Infrastructure, just as a sign of gratitude for your support.
