Welcome to The Line! When I first sat down to write this letter, I thought about what I wanted to say, went through our update list from last year, reviewed our plans for 2007, had a Red Bull, looked at the update list again and started writing. After getting going I started to get into my groove, then I had a flashback to when I first started with the company and my thoughts wandered. Did you know that Jumpline.com has been around for 10 years? Wow, sometimes it feels like I just started with the company, where has the time gone? And to say that web hosting technology (or technology in general) has changed over that time would be about as big of an understatement as can be made! continue reading...
In each edition of The Line we will be spotlighting new features which will be available to our hosting customers. Today, we are highlighting the new features included with all Domain Name Registrations.

For years we have been servicing thousands of satisfied domain name owners, now we are offering our customers a few more features to help take advantage of their otherwise unused domain names. By adding the ability to create an under construction page, a domain for sale page, or to forward your domain name anywhere you would like it to go, we are giving our domain name customers a way to take advantage of their domain names. continue reading...
Unable to send out email from a coffee shop or hotel internet connection?
In an effort to prevent spam, many public internet access points no longer allow outgoing mail connections. If you are connected to a public access point and are unable to send email, and the connection you are using does not provide any updated outgoing mail server settings for you to use, you may still be able to use your Jumpline.com outgoing email service. Just change the outgoing mail server (SMTP) port number in your email client to ‘587’ and try sending email again. This workaround is supported by many public access points; if you are still unable to send, you can change this setting back to the default, ’25', and ask the administrator of the connection you are using for an updated outgoing server name to use. continue reading...

If you are interested in keeping up to date on all of the design improvements at Jumpline.com, you can check out The Buzz to get information about those changes before they actually happen.

In this edition we are highlighting two of our soon to be released web applications which will soon be available for both our VDS hosting plans and all domain names at Jumpline.com. The first of the two is Site Builder, a template-based website building tool that will allow our customers to quickly and easily develop a professional website without the need to hire a web designer. The website that you create through Site Builder will also be exportable so that it can be edited outside of the Site Builder application in the future, should you decide to build on your base design in the future.

The second application is Web Mail, an email application with the look and ease of use of Outlook Express. Web Mail not only allows you to check your email but also integrates a Calendar, ToDo List, and address book all into one simple to use interface. Both the Site Builder and Web Mail applications will be available with all web hosting and domain name plans.
