We’re back up

Posted on 23. Jul, 2010 by admin in Members, PHP Penny Auction, Site Design, Updates

After some heavy delays, the phpPennyAuction website is now fully back up and ready. We will be installing an SSL Certificate shortly so the Support Center may go down or be unreachable whilst that is being done. Since it’s taken a while, I wanted to to share some of the details about the server we are now using:

    Powered by VPS.net – 3 Nodes
    APC enabled
    W3 Cache

The latency times have dropped considerably. If you have any problems or experience any timeouts please do let us know on info [@] phppennyauction.com.

Downtime (resolved)

Posted on 18. Jan, 2010 by admin in News, Site Design, Updates

The www.phppennyauction.com domain went down today from about 6pm -11pm GMT and was inaccessible to most. The outage was caused by changing to a secure hosting solution. We would like to apologize to all those affected during this unavoidable downtime, normal service now resumes.

If any further downtime is needed to complete the hosting change, we will provide at least 24 hours notice here and in the Members’ News section.

Updated Packages & Prices!

Posted on 03. Dec, 2009 by admin in Packages, Standard, Updates

We wanted to let all customers and future customers know that, as of today, we have updated our packages and have discontinued the Premium package. It has now been relaunched under the new name ‘Professional’ – we wanted to add more to the list of features and felt that renaming it was the easiest way to highlight the differences of the previously-named Premium package and the newly launched Professional package.

We will continue selling the Standard package at the same retail price ($749) and hope you will like the changes.

Old URL will stop working soon.

Posted on 14. Nov, 2009 by admin in News, Site Design, Updates

Just a quick notice to all current members and those thinking of joining us, you will need to update any bookmarks made prior to 15th October 2009, as our old URL will stop working. From now on, we will be reachable only through www.phppennyauction.com.

Most of you will NOT need to worry about this and will not notice any difference. We are reigning in our branding and simplifying everything as some of you were getting confused, so we hope you will appreciate our efforts to streamline our company image. Let us know in the comments how you feel about this!

We’ve changed our name!

Posted on 27. Oct, 2009 by admin in News, Packages, Site Design, Uncategorized, Updates, Worldwide

We’ve just relaunched our brand new site, www.phppennyauction.com “PHP Penny Auction”. A number of customers had expressed confusion regarding our previous name and in our ongoing efforts to provide a truly exceptional service we decided that PHPPennyAuction was the most appropriate and fitting title. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Reminder: Our T&Cs, operating terms, Support hours etc are all identical. We have changed in name – but not anywhere else! :) So you’ll continue to enjoy the same level of service. In fact, you probably won’t even notice any change.
