First off Internet Explorer 7 is out and many users are upgrading to this new version. Unfortunately there is a change in IE7 that can cause fonts to be rendered larger in IE7 than they were in IE6 and the latest versions of Fire Fox, Safari etc. The larger font size has caused formatting issues for many, many sites on the web. In some cases it is just a matter of larger looking text, for others the larger text has caused overlays etc to the layout of the site. We have identified a solution to this issue that involves testing for IE7 and providing alternative font styles.

If you are experiencing this issue please submit a support ticket through http://billing.intelihosts.com/modernbill/ . The requests will be taken in order and there will be an $85, 1 hour support charge per site to correct this issue.

We are also receiving numerous calls and tickets regarding contact form spam. This is an internet wide dilemma where web bots are finding and filling out forms on websites. This is at best a nuisance and at worst an attempt to hijack sites for malicious purposes. The best defense against these attacks is to make sure your form software is up to date and secure, and to employ anti-spam measures such as hidden fields and captchas.

If you would like Intelligent Hosting to review your form security please open a support desk ticket at http://billing.intelihosts.com/modernbill/ requesting a web form security check. Please be sure to include the url (web address) of your online form.  There is no charge to check the form software version. You will be contacted with information and a quote if an update is recommended.

I want to remind all of our clients that regardless of who handles your website development or hosting, you (the site owner) are responsible for ensuring your site is not used maliciously. You should make an effort to ensure your site is up to date and secure so that you do not become a hijacking victim. Generally speaking, if your site has online forms, e-Commerce or other interactive features and has not been upgraded in a year you are probably vulnerable to attack. Clients with SmartCMX software should invest in a support contract or periodically request an update, at least yearly, to the newest stable SmartCMX version.

Most SmartCMX sites can be upgraded to the latest version for the base cost of $599. If your site has special features that require additional formatting or programming you will be advised before the upgrade is performed. SmartCMX support contract clients receive periodic updates under the terms of the agreement at no additional cost.

Embedding Google videos on a SmartCMX website:

Once you have a video or videos created you will need to upload to Google videos.

Browse to google.com/video and log into your account.

Hit the “upload videos” link.

Follow the Google provided instructions for uploading a video or videos. These instructions change from time to time.

Once the video is uploaded and approved by Google it will be added to your list of videos.

Click on the video you wish to embed in your site and then on the “embed video” link.

Select and copy the code in the “embed video” box, this is the code you must paste into the SmartCMX editor window.

Log onto your SmartCMX account.

Browse to the users tab.

Uncheck the “Use the visual rich editor when writing” checkbox.

You can now paste the embed code into the desire page. If you want text to appear above the video it is recommended that you type in the text first.

Remember to re check the “Use the visual rich editor when writing” checkbox.

Subsequently, it was determined that a firewall, external to our servers, was improperly configured, blocking incoming mail traffic to one of our servers.  The staff at the host facility has corrected this issue and mail service is now been restored.

We apologize for the interruption in service and any inconvenience this may have caused you.  We at Intelligent Hosting continually strive to bring you the best possible hosting services. Please contact us if you have any further questions.

All intelligent Hosting LLC hosting and email services will be unavailable for some period of time during this timeframe.

Some server changes are being made in preparation for this move that may cause web sites or email to be unavailable for short periods of time (minutes) periodically from now until the 7th. All work is being done during off hours to minimize the impact to our clients.

This move is necessitated by the need to move to a newly built facility in Somerset, NJ.

If you have any questions or concerns please submit a support request at https://billing.intelihosts.com/modernbill/ or email migration@intelihost.com.

How it Works:

When mail is sent to you it travels through the filtering server…it is scrubbed for viruses (free) before it is sent on to you the “end user/client”.
The new spam filter will be “turned on” for clients that request it. We will then set up your account(s) on the filtering server so that your mail is filtered for spam as well as viruses.
Benefits:

• • You get only the mail you want…NO MORE JUNK MAIL
• • You determine who sends you mail…
• • Blackberry compatible…no more spam on the road too!
• • Easy dashboard interface that allows you to select addresses to be white listed or blocked.
• • Users will be able to view blocked messages online and release any messages from the blocked message list.
  • Even blocked messages will be saved for 14 days.
• • Daily reminder if any messages have been blocked that day so you can remember to login to your account and view all the mail that the filter caught.

As with any virus or spam filtering software or device, we cannot promise 100% accuracy when identifying spam and viruses sent via email. However, after beta testing and research of several spam filters we believe that the filtering service we are making available to you is the very best virus and spam filtering service available today.

Cost:

This new spam filtering upgrade is optional and is available to you for only $10.00 a month for up to 5 users. Included in the monthly fee this spam filter price of $10 per each group of five users allows for additional five aliases per user (that gives you 30 e-mail addresses free from spam for just $10.00). You pay only for the users for which filtering is active.
