Free LEAP Demo Accounts — All You Have To Do Is Ask! Dan Ushmanby24 Sep 2008

Dan
It's been a few months since we've launched LEAP and the response has exceeded our original expectations one thousand million times over :) Clients have praised the automatic server provisioning and multi-server management features and we've heard the word "wow" a lot. We decided that it would now be a good time to give free demo accounts out to anyone who wants to try LEAP out first hand. That said, and without further delay, please feel free to get your own LEAP demo account for 72-hours by visiting this page:

If you are experiencing any connectivity issues with your server, and are not subscribed to the Quick Reaction monitoring service, please submit a ticket and our datacenter technicians will restore your service immediately. Thank you for your continued patience!

Unexpected Outage Andyby15 Sep 2008

Andy
  We just experienced an unexpected outage in around 9 of our cabinets. Our datacenter engineers have looked into the problem and have found the cause.    Things should be back up shortly, and we will be releasing our RFO (Reason for Outage) later today. If you would like to receive a copy, please email dushman@singlehop.com. **UPDATE: We have narrowed down the problem to one of the breaker panels and the facility eletricians are going to be combing over all other components to ensure that this does not happen again.

By our calculations, total downtime did ...

IPCast: How far is your reach? Andyby03 Sep 2008

Andy
Speed -- Everyone wants it. Global distribution of static content -- everyone needs it. Diverse paths of delivery -- SingleHop has it! After months of developing and studious planning, we have finally released our latest addition to the SingleHop services portfolio: IPCast -- a Content Delivery Network! Often referred to as a "CDN", a Content Delivery Network is a way to globally distribute static content, and deliver this content faster and more efficiently to visitors based on where they are located in the world. We all know how the internet works, and according to Infoworld, 56% (I believe this number to be more, but I'm no analyst!) of the population use the internet on a regular basis. This obviously extends to other parts of the ...

Google Chrome + LEAP Zakby02 Sep 2008

admin
Google announced it's anticipated browser, Google Chome, yesterday, and then quickly pulled it offline. Today they finally released it, and we were all anxious to try it out. Our developers of course, were anxious to see how it rendered LEAP. (screenshot attached below) We were all very impressed with how fast Chrome rendered LEAP. Windows inside of LEAP can be manipulated quite a bit faster, and this appears to be exactly what Google was trying to accomplish (well, one of the items). The key takeaway from the launch is that Google has engineered Chrome for how people use the Web in 2008, which is to run applications like Google Docs, Gmail, and LEAP. To accomplish this, Google built a new javascript engined dubbed V8 that is specifically ...
