Happy Holidays! Season's Greetings! Welcome! With another year coming to a close we are sending out the last edition of The Line for 2007 and with it a quick thank you for your continued business and support throughout the year. As I take a little time to review the past year and all of the changes that have taken place at Jumpline, I am always impressed with the number of improvements, as well as the constant efforts put forth by our team to make sure that your entire Jumpline experience is as reliable and issue free as possible, and this year was no exception. continue reading...

In each edition of The Line we will be spotlighting specific features and resources that are available to our customers. Today, we are highlighting our Email Defense Solution.

With an extreme increase in the volume of spam that is being sent on a daily basis, it is no wonder that email users are becoming more and more frustrated when it comes to dealing with email. Long gone are the days when 9 out of 10 emails that you received meant something to you, today it seems as though those numbers have been reversed. With our increased dependency on email and the immediate communication impact it has on so many aspects of our business and personal lives, a reliable solution is to stop spam (and viruses) has become a requirement.

That is why we are featuring our Email Defense Solution today. Through Email Defense, Jumpline.com ensures your email is free from threats and junk mail, keeping you business productive and your family safe from all of the harassing email that has become the norm in email! continue reading...

If you are interested in keeping up to date on new projects and changes at Jumpline.com, you can check out The Buzz to get information about those updates as they happen.

For our final 'Buzz' of 2007 we are going to change it up a little bit, give you a little more of what we have planned for all of 2008 instead of just the next few months. As you have more than likely already noticed, we have recently added new hosting plans that offer increased resources, and going forward into 2008 we will be including additional value applications that will provide additional functionality for your hosted websites. In addition to the application upgrades, we will also be releasing our PayPerClick management system and our Virtual Drive.

Once available, the PayPerClick management system (PPC) will provide a great resource for managing your online advertising needs through its simple, yet informative management interface. Through the new Virtual Drive our customers will have a reliable, secure backup solution which when used, will guarantee the availability of any and all of your critical digital media. Whether it is a secure copy of all of your business records, or a safe place for your cherished digital family photos, our new Virtual Drive will be what finally puts your mind to ease when it comes to the safe keeping of your data.

Along with our continued new project development, we will continue to implement changes to the Customer Manager to make managing your plans and customer account a little easier. As these updates are implemented we will pass the information along to you.
