Long-time InnoScale customers and industry veterans know and appreciate that Cloud hosting, and the legacy hosting industry that preceded it, is always changing at break-neck speed. It is one of the constants of this industry that forever makes it interesting to work in and pioneer new technologies and services. Hardware that once when purchased was bleeding edge, quickly becomes today’s dinosaur as the pace of innovation races along.

From the hardware-lover side of me, I always want InnoScale to run the fastest hardware that money can buy, for both the wow factor and the competitive edge it gives us. Unfortunately, the fastest hardware usually doesn’t scale linearly in terms of cost with performance. That extra 20% performance may cost you twice … READ MORE

I recently started really thinking about the dwindling number of available IPv4 addresses and what we can do to use them more efficiently. One option that I had not revisited in a while is Server Name Indication (SNI). It is an extension to SSL/TLS, which enables sending of the domain being requested during initial negotiation of the secure connection, allowing web servers to be able to provide the correct security certificate for that domain, even if there are multiple domains on the same IP. Previously this was not an option, as the servers would not receive information about the domain being requested until after the secure connection was negotiated, meaning that each domain with a certificate needed a separate IP … READ MORE

Question: Would you prefer a human or computer when trying to get customer service?

If you answered computer, then please do not read on. But, if you were one of many who answered human, by all means, read this article.
It seems everywhere you turn to get quality customer service, you are greeted with a non-emotional answering system. The countless menus you need to go through can get tiresome real quick. Make a mistake, and you’ll most likely have to call back. Hours and hours of personal time have been wasted waiting to get help from a person…something more sentient than a computerized answering service.

We know what that is like. InnoScale may be a web hosting company, but it is employed by … READ MORE

Backups… While Cloud technology does provide redundancy, insuring peace of mind—that your data is safe—is never a bad thing.

Our R1Soft backups do just that. They’re an excellent way of providing you with a third set of data, stored on a server other than the one where your current information is located. In the event of a server failure, you’ll be glad to know that there’s a copy of all your important files, made with our R1Soft technology.
