The old web site was hand made using HTML, PHP and a bit of Adobe Photoshop. It worked quite well and was let’s say easy to modified, but didn’t really look very professional. Now the new web site it’s not hand made anymore (well more or less) it was build using a CMS (content management system) called Concrete5 which seems to be a super well done CMS.

It is super easy to create a web site, pages in a web site, forms, add ads and almost anything you can think of. I tried before multiple CMS’s and all of them worked quite well, but they where or too complex or didn’t have features which I need it.

Concrete5 seems to have everything that I need and it’s quite easy to modify it when something doesn’t work as you wish. If you like to check out the new web site just go to www.visualserver.org where you can also express you opinion about the new web site or the service which I offer, using the contact form.

At this point the only thing I can say more it’s to enjoy it and I do open everyone will like it and find it more useful then the previous one.

Cheers you all!

The server physically is in my house and its running 24/7 backup up with a APC ups. The connection is from upc.cz, cable line at 30 Mbit/s. Now this is not the update, the update is the total migration of the hardware from the old KME case to a new and better Cooler Master case. Besides this the server got new power supply from LC-Power with 420W output, new CPU fan, a clean up of the GPU cooler and the newest Ubuntu kernel 2.6.24-21.

One of the updates should have been the bios update, but I’m not 100% sure its such a good idea. The problem is the testing part, as I can’t test the new bios firmware on some other motherboard, before upgrading the actual server. At the moment, the server will stay with the original bios and I will see in the future if to really do the update or not… its a risky business.

Here are some server specs: Intel Pentium D @ 3.2Ghz, 4GB DDR2 Kingston, 200GB SATA2 Samsung, DVD-RW LG, Cooler Master Dominator case, LC-Power 420W Black Silent power supply, APC 700VA CybeFort II ups and running Ubuntu Server 8.04.2.

So anyway, this is it… the impressive updates :) If you are interested in the server or the hosting part check out the web page: visualserver.org
