WordPress Version 3.0 Hosting Now Available

WordPress version 3.0 was released earlier this month (17th June).

We have updated our WordPress installer to install this new release.  As well as the core upgrade being made to 3.0, we have also made some amendments to the way that you can install themes and plugins.  The new changes mean that any theme or plugin can be installed on your web site hosted by us in under two seconds. (Previously we retrieved themes and plugins via FTP, which could take around 30 seconds.)

Main Changes in WordPress 3.0

• A new default theme;
• Custom background support;
• Custom post types (this means you’re no longer limited to posting either posts or pages);
• Custom taxonomies (for example, you can rate each page or post based on its suitability for different age ranges);
• Simple menu management;

Information for Existing Clients

There is no simple way to automatically upgrade from version 2.9.2 to version 3.0.  The easiest way to upgrade is to download the new version from wordpress.org and then upload the new files to your web space using FTP.  As always, before you make any changes ensure that you back up both your files and MySQL database.

If you don’t want the hassle of having to upgrade then we can professionally upgrade WordPress to version 3.0 for just £19.95.  Simply let us know that you would like to upgrade and we’ll take care of it for you.

Three Months’ of Free WordPress Hosting

Hi,

We’ve just recently updated our WordPress auto-installer to version 2.9.2.  We thought we’d take this opportunity to let you know that we’re currently offering three months of WordPress blog hosting for free.  If you’re wondering what WordPress is, you’re looking at it right now!  It’s an excellent tool for communicating with the outside world.  All you need is an internet connection and a web browser (or, if you’re like us, an iPhone with some decent reception) and you can blog away.

Blogs are a really useful tool when it comes to marketing yourself or your business.  If you keep posting credible information to your blog you’ll be surprised at the results you can achieve.

We make the signup process incredibly simple; all you need to enter is your blog name and a username and password to access the administration area.  If you need a domain name to be registered at the same time, Xengo offer affordable domain registration.

One final thing: all of our hosting accounts are created within 10 minutes of signing up; if you click the button below we’ll have you up and running in no time.
