In the recent economic down turn Brittany Internet is investing. New servers – Windows & Linux

In the recent economic down turn Brittany Internet is investing.

Brittany Internet has recently expanded it’s server range from Windows 2008 servers to include Linux servers. Never content to rest on it’s laurels Brittany Internet took the step to add Linux servers to it’s data center to broaden the range of hosting  packages available to fulfil the requirements of it’s ever growing client base.

Brittany Internet now offers reseller hosting in France and the UK on both Windows 2008 and Linux platforms.

Windows 7 RC is available

Just downloading the Release Candidate version of Windows 7 – This is available to Microsoft Partners, Tech Net subscribers MSDN etc.

This is a full version which is unlimited until June 2010 wherby it will then shut down every 2 hours.

Going to try out Windows 7 RC as I’ve resisted the move to Vista due to it’s crappyness and have been using a mix of XP and Linux.

Don’t know if this will be available generally or just to Microsoft Partners etc.

Will let you know how it goes!

Have fun

HP Laptop

Just finished the software build on a new HP Laptop. What a pleasure to be using a nice quality machine again.

The machine is now setup for hosting .NET and PHP websites for development work.

It’s taken 2 days just to install and configure the machine with all the develppment software, tools and database systems.

What Joy

Dedicated Server SpamBot Attack

Just had a period of time where SpamBots were trying to send large amounts of spam to my dedicated webserver. I would often have well over 100 SMTP connections to my server, but checking the spool and the log files can see that they didn’t get very far and my Spam filtering systems blocked them from even sending the messages.

As of today they’ve given up on my email servers IP address and we’re back down to normal traffic.

It did give me the opportunity to refresh some of my SPAM filtering configuration and have tightened things even further.

Randonee France Website

Just put together a website for some guys that like hicking in France and further afield too. As of the moment they haven’t put anything on their site but they can as soon as they get a moment because it’s using a CMS backend…. take a look at www.rando-france.com to see what they’ve made available on the subject (in Franch of course) randonee france

Mint Linux France – changed to Ubuntu Linux in France

I am using Linux on an old P3 1GHZ Compaq laptop with 512MB of RAM. I found Mint 5 Linux ran very very slowly, in fact much slower than my 7 year old install of xp was running!!!! So I decided to ditch it and go to the ‘original’ Ubuntu Linux. I figured that as Mint is a variant of Ubunto, perhaps some bugs had crept in…
I have to say, that the install of Ubuntu Linux was almost as simple as Mint 5 but the big difference is that it runs like a dream! No more 100% CPU usage, at best with mint I was getting 24% – I just paused there and hovered over the Processor usage toolbar and it showed 0%

Now I am a happy chappy in France with Linux which actually works My old very small and highly portable Compaq Evo Laptop has been given a new lease of life and rocks

Thanks to Microsoft Vista, I’m going Linux :)

Well it would appear that there aren’t any great HTML development apps available on Linux so I guess I’ll be sticking with Windows XP for a while yet on my main PC.

However thanks to a m8 of mine in France I’ve been messing about with a version of linux called Mint Linux It’s been going great, much better than when I tried Linux a few years ago. However I’m having some CPU 100% issues so will try an alternative Linux called Puppy Linux.

Last time I tried Linux I had loads of problems getting Wifi to work, in fact I think I gave up. This time it’s worked perfectly and I’m seriously considering removing the NTFS partion from my laptop hard drive and just running Linux!

Just got to try another couple of flavours of Linux to make sure I’ve got the right one…

Thanks Micro$oft for making Windows Vista such a horrible upgrade prospect – you’ve opened my eyes to Linux

Website design in France

Brittany Internet website design in France is going from strength to strength. Partly due to the implementation of its latest Content Management System.

Brittany Internet has over 15 years experience in website design and has identified that the days of static website design is now over. The website is dead long live the website!

Yes that’s right but thanks to our Content Management System we are able to rapidly develop new website designs for our clients and empower them with the ability to easily update and manage their own websites themselves with no HTML/programming skills required. Wait it gets better, the clients do not even require any specialist software to upload and edit their websites, all is done online thanks to our Content Management System.

So if it’s so easy what do we do…. well there is the look/skin for the website design, that has to be created to suite the requirements of the website client, then there is the creation of the initial website content to get the client going and finally SEO – Search Engine Optimisation. After this we are available to hold the clients hand if they want anything special doing to their website/website design.

The biggest benefit for us is that the website can be developed more quickly with better interaction with our client. The biggest benefit for the client is the cost of developing a new website design is much less.
