Slamdot

We’ll be including Phusion’s Passenger (mod_rails) in our feature lineup for Slamdot 2.0 due out in June. This will replace our current FastCGI setup and should improve overall performance for everyone using Rails on our servers. The most important part of this switch is that it’ll enable us to move over to Apache 2 (finally!) […]

We’d like to extend our wholehearted thanks to all of our customers for a great 2007! We look forward to providing you with more great new features and excellent service in 2008. We truly appreciate your support and we wish you success for the new year! Be on the lookout for a major update in […]

We just want to congratulate the Rails core team and the many, many contributors for shipping Rails 2.0 yesterday. We’ve been tracking its development for quite some time and we’ve made all of the necessary steps to ensure Slamdot is Rails 2.0-compatible.
We’re going to finish sprucing up the code and implementing the new goodies in […]

Today we launched the first of many application installers to come to Slamdot. Application installers help you easily setup popular web-based software for your website.

Today it is exactly three years ago since PHP 5 has been released. In those three […]

We just added what could quite possibly be our top requested feature to Slamdot: OpenID logins. For the uninitiated, this basically means that you’ll be able to use one set of credentials to access Slamdot, and all of your favorite sites on the web that also support OpenID, without needing to remember a separate username […]

We’ve recently made some changes to the Web Stats page that greatly improved its speed. Users with lower-traffic web sites will probably not notice much of a difference, however those of you with more popular sites will see a major improvement over the previous loading time.

Nothing visually has been changed, so there’s no cause for […]

Up until now, we’ve been working with XHTML wireframes and some minimal (read: boring) CSS. Our designs sat cozy in their respective PSD files, longing for the day that they’d be sliced into existence. Since we’re basically finished with the back-end coding, we decided it was time to get those interfaces underway.
We hired Hamid Palo […]

We’ve been working (secretly) behind the scenes for the last few months to create a cooler, simpler, more exciting approach to web hosting. This blog, like Bare Naked App (only not quite as naked) will highlight our progress as we move closer to launch.
What is Slamdot?
Web hosting in the past has been an ugly, complicated, […]
