We have worked 'til 4:00am this morning and released the updated version of email server software. We have replaced what we believe to be the major cause of overloading problem. This may fix the email delay problem, but we will not stop upgrading our system until we are 100% sure. That means unless we can handle many times the email traffic that we can reasonably expect, we will keep upgrading our software.

I had let all engineers go home little after 4:00am but they told me they are coming back by 8:00am to make sure there will be no delay.8:00am is when the delay problem started yesterday. At the mean time, server administration team are preparing extra email server to split the current load in half. We are doing everything we can to mitigate email delay.

Thank you for sticking with us. We will not let our customer down. Thank you for choosing PSPINC.

We have made a big Boo Boo.

The IMAP/POP server we released had serious processing speed problem that we did not expect. Our customers sometime experience 30+ minuets email delay. Needless to say, it is not acceptable.

So we are doing three things. One, we are going over the source code of the email software line by line to speed up the processes. We will rewrite everything if we need to. No weekend for our engineers. Two, we are building extra server to reduce the current server loads. Three we are having extra monitoring person to watch over the server 24 hours a day.

No matter what it takes, we will get this solved for all our customers. So, please bear with us.

Why Should You Consider PSPINC...

Mar

Why Should You Consider PSPINC for your Web and Email Hosting?

Aren’t all hosting companies basically the same? If so, why shouldn’t you just choose the cheapest option for your web and email? This argument would be valid if the idea that “all hosting companies are the same” was true, but that is just not the case. When you look at websites of hosting companies, they all look alike. In fact, even I can’t tell why some hosting companies’ prices are so much different from others.

So we should really look at the history of web and email outsourcing. When we started our hosting business in 1996, we provided a mere 10MB of web and 10MB of email storage for $75 per month, which was very inexpensive at the time. Currently, we provide 1,000 times the space for both web and email for about $21 per month. If you were to pay the same rate as you were 1996, your current service from PSPINC would cost $75,000. This means we have reduced our price 99.972% in last 16 years.

One reason we could do this is because we build all our infrastructure and back-end software ourselves. We own and constantly update and upgrade our software and hardware to remain up-to-date and competitive without over-spending. We do not license software from other companies. We are primarily a hosting company, but we are also a software development company with almost 25 years of industry experience. We have been building software since the days of MD-DOS, Apple Talk and 8086 Assembly Language. I have worked with IBM mainframe network SNA since I graduated from the college in 1983. I have been working with large-area private and public network since when there was no internet or even Compuserve or AOL.

Are we better than other hosting companies? Because different clients have different needs, I can’t comment on “better or worse”, but we are certainly different. Our pricing is about same as any other major hosting company in the US or around the world, but we can serve you better because we built our products ourselves. If there is a problem, we can fix it right away rather than wait for the original software development company. We can communicate with the most sophisticated engineers and web developers because we know what we are doing.

So when you are choosing which company to trust with your web and email, you should give us a call. We are a different kind of hosting company, working to provide the most reliable and affordable solutions for your business needs. We are different and proud of it.

Another EV Charging Station

Mar

This one is only one block a way from our office. It is at Walgreen on 140th and NE 8th in Bellevue. With more charging stations (many of the are FREE), t starting make more and more sense to own a EV.

PSPINC is experimenting with NISSAB LEAF as one of our fleet cars. PSPINC uses lots of electricity running over 500 servers at our data centers. So we are doing everything we can to reduce energy usages.
