Don't Panic

cgn043@aol.com (Parade Hosting) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 01:21:00 +0000

There have been some rumors that Parade Hosting is closing due to our clients being on the same server as Hostnsurf’s clients.

WE ARE NOT CLOSING. We are expecting to simply move to another server in a few days. So please, do not panic. All clients will be sent an email within 1-2 days, explaining when we’ll be moving and precautions to take.

If you recently signed up for hosting—please wait 3-4 days to be contacted. We cannot add new accounts at this time.

All questions can be directed to support@paradehosting.com.

Changes

cgn043@aol.com (Parade Hosting) — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 18:55:00 +0000

Our policies has been changed!
The following are now ALLOWED on our server.
- Public file storage
- Proxy servers/scripts
- MP3 files/streaming

If you have any questions contact us at support@paradehosting.com

Space has doubled?

Yes, you read right! Every single plan has doubled in space!
Also, all tiny plans now have UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH. These changes will take place for CURRENT CLIENTS AND FUTURE CLIENTS. So if you have an old Earth plan with us, you will notice your space double within the next 2-3 days. Please allow us adequate time to update every package.

The doubling and unlimited bandwidth is not a promotion! It’s forever (or until we increase them again)!

PS: This is Nicole. Thank you for all your kind words about my illness. I just confirmed today that I have pneumonia. I am getting better though, I promise.

Recovering

cgn043@aol.com (Parade Hosting) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 07:20:00 +0000

Hi, I’m Nicole, Parade Hosting’s owner.

You probably noticed a delay in account creation and support requests. That is due to the fact that I have been horribly sick for the past 7 days (possibly pneumonia, awaiting x-rays). I wasn’t going to post an announcement, but I thought that this was very useful information in the case that things take a turn for the worst.

John (co-owner) has been doing much of the work, via me guiding him step by step over the phone. At one point I was even telling him what to type in reply to support requests. He has secretly been responding to emails using my name.

While I’m feeling better enough to venture online and get work done tonight, replies will continue to be slower than normal and free hosting will not be up again until the 14^th. The Ghostly plan is still available but only until the order form goes down (tomorrow).

While I know that this is not a good excuse to be late on support requests or filling orders please understand and bear with us during this time!

Thank you,
Nicole Grove
Parade Hosting

PS: A forum suddenly sprung up. It was in development for about a month. More about it later on. Please join! There’s a contest going on. ;)

EMAIL CHANGE

cgn043@aol.com (Parade Hosting) — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 19:00:06 +0000

Please disregard the older news about our new email account. This post contains our real new email address.
Our new email (for support, orders, and basically everything) is: paradehosting@live.com

We are keeping the Yahoo & Gmail email addresses open and will continue to check those emails and respond as always because clients may not remember the change. However, we urge you to add paradehosting@live.com to your address book, so you can make sure you receive important emails from us that might otherwise end up in your spam bin.

Thank you, and we apologize for the change!

NEW

cgn043@aol.com (Parade Hosting) — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 20:16:38 +0000

The title says it all! Parade Hosting is looking fresh & new! There has never been a better time to become one of our clients!

Since our site remodeling, we have added new hosting packages (reseller) and moved around many of the plans… even lowered prices! I could list all the site and plan improvements, but then you wouldn’t look around! See this for yourself, and click on a few pages!

Feedback on our redesign is much appreciated. If you find a broken link or something that doesn’t quite look right—please comment.

Thank you!

Exclusive Reseller Offer

cgn043@aol.com (Parade Hosting) — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:34:00 +0000

We are pleased to announce that we are now ready to offer reseller hosting! Before we release it to the masses, we would like to extend a very generous discount to our CURRENT CLIENTS ONLY.

For a ONE TIME fee of $2 USD, your cPanel will be upgraded to have reseller access for as long as you’re hosted with us! Just continue to pay your regular hosting bill like you would anyway, and the one time fee of $2 will cover all your reseller expenses forever!

What is a reseller? Reseller hosting is basically the same as shared hosting, only you have the ability to create an unlimited number of cPanel accounts. This is great for anyone looking to host others, or improve their hosting service. This is also a plus to anyone managing a lot of sites.

This offer is exclusive to current clients—and is available regardless of what plan you have. You will not loose files, your current cPanel, or have downtime during the quick upgrade.

If you would like to order: Email us (paradehosting@yahoo.com) with your paypal email address and the domain or subdomain that you currently have hosted with us. After paying the invoice, we will provide specific instructions and information about the reseller account.

This offer will only last until October 20^th, so HURRY!

Not a client with us, yet would still like reseller hosting? Sit tight for about 5 more days… when we will have cheap and affordable reseller hosting plans available for you!

Sincerely,
Your Friends & Staff at Parade Hosting

What's going on??

cgn043@aol.com (Parade Hosting) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 05:25:55 +0000

You’ll notice that within the next few days our layout, prices, and plans will be switching around. The main page may look a little empty. Please bare with us during these times of construction. Our site will be back to normal soon!

We are growing!

cgn043@aol.com (Parade Hosting) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:16:00 +0000

It’s true. In the last few weeks our client base has grew dramatically. Therefore, we’re looking to take Parade Hosting to the next stage. In the next few weeks you will notice that we’re moving things around, and implementing a new site design to accommodate for our soon-to-be-announced new features.

We’re also looking towards offering reseller hosting. This will allow those who purchase it the ability to create cPanel accounts, and possibly start a hosting company themselves. We unsure how much interest visitors/clients have in reseller hosting, so if you could post your comments on this update, you would have a great influence on our next move. :)

Thank you!

Referral Program... is back!

cgn043@aol.com (Parade Hosting) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:11:00 +0000

Finally! We have set up a new referral program! It allows anyone with a site to earn domains and hosting! With our old program we had some problems with the coding, but now we’re completely ready to go—and ready for you to sign up!

Click here to learn more, or sign up!

If you have any start-up suggestions, comments, feedback , or questions to give us on this program please comment here or email us.

Best of luck to everyone that participates!

The winners are...

cgn043@aol.com (Parade Hosting) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 08:14:00 +0000

Every client that we receive is assigned a number based on alphabetical order. This morning we pulled 2 random numbers (1-35) from this random number generator: http://www.mathgoodies.com/calculators/random_no_custom.html

The drawing was for one top level domain (.com/.net/.org).

Since we were blessed with the funds to be able to do so, we were able to pull the second number for one .info domain.

The winners of the two domains are as follows:
Jack (#9)—.com/.net/.org domain
Gillan (#30)- .info domain

So there you have it. Congrats! Winners were emailed with further information.

We apologize if you were not one of the winners. More contests and programs will follow. We hold contests as soon as it is financially possible for us to do so. That means the more people that sign up for hosting, the more contests and raffles we can hold!

Thank you!
