Recently, Coolhousing finished installation of a new system for fire detection in their collocation centre. The heart of the system consists of a modern and precise laser detector, Vesda VLF 250, which activates fire alarm and alerts centre operators if it detects smoke particles in the air. The system is capable of distinguishing up to four pre-configured fire levels. Thanks to this innovation, servers of Coolhousing's customers are better protected than ever before.

In order to constantly improve services for customers, Coolhousing replaced virtual servers running on Xen platform with the currently available most up-to-date solution KVM. Therefore, our clients will get the most modern and most powerful virtual platform for the same price.

We have great news for all admins who prefer low-cost but powerfull rackmout dedicated servers. Since end of May 2011 are in offer SuperMicro dedicated servers. Main advantage of SuperMicro is low cost, great power, two hot-swap bays for HDD, compatibility with Intel i3/Xeon processors and up to 16GB ECC DDR3.

We have become the sponsor of the "OpenBL.org - Blacklisting and Abuse Reporting" project. Every five minutes, this project updates the blacklist of IP addresses which are most frequently used for brute force attacks. We are glad that we can cooperate and be involved in this project and provide better network security for our clients.

ISPConfig hosting panel has been in our offer for a long time. The panel has won many backers, but also opponents. The ISPConfig 2 version was relatively contradictory due to its output requirements, but after ISPConfig 3 appeared, things started looking up. If you need a reliable and powerful solution for your websites, e-mails, databases, ftp and dns, this panel is the right choice for you.

So far everybody just talked about it but now it is true. Last available IPv4 addresses are disappearing from the IANA central register. This fact does not mean that the Internet will collapse but we must realize that there are no more IPv4 addresses available and that there will never be any more. We, at Coolhousing are aware about this fact, and since January 2009 we have been actively supporting the IPv6 protocol. Now, we decided to go even further. We shall reward all server owners who run their applications under the IPv6 protocol. Each of our client who will use in his hosting IPv6 addresses only is entitled to a discount of up to € 58,- every month - subtracted from this monthly fee.

It is not a long time from last transit connectivity update and is here next upgrade for our customers. Because we have a plethora of connectivity, we decided to divide the unused connectivity between customers. The price for our services is still same! Better service for the same (or lower) price - that is Coolhousing!
