What’s New Newsletter Vol. 198 “New Dreamersi Email Hosting Features and Updates"

thread
What’s New News...
We’re happy to announce that we’ve added a new feature for our Dreamersi email hosting customers! To improve your email account’s overall security, we’ve implemented a new DKIM authentication feature! DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) authentication is designed to guarantee the authenticity of an email sender.
 

Benefits of DKIM Authentication

  • Confirms a sender’s legitimacy
  • Enhances your email’s security
  • Improves the overall reliability of your emails
  • Protects you from spam and phishing attacks


Since the default setting is off, you can turn on this new feature by:

  1. Logging in to your Dreamersi admin panel
  2. Clicking on the Spam Filter tab
  3. Enabling the DKIM Authentication feature
If you’re looking for an email that doesn’t appear in your Inbox and find it in the Mail Recovery page (in the left sidebar) instead, it may be because the email failed the DKIM authentication. In case you need it, you can move it to your Inbox by selecting the Recover checkbox.

DNS Changes for Outgoing DMARC

In addition to adding a DKIM authentication feature, we’ve also adopted Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC), an email security protocol that lets senders control how their email handles sent messages that fail DKIM authentication by implementing DMARC measures. 
 

Benefits of DMARC:

  • Transparency and improved delivery rates: DMARC gives users more control over how to handle emails that fail DKIM authentication. With DMARC, you can choose to “Do nothing”, “Quarantine”, or “Reject”, giving users more transparency over the email authentication process and reducing the risk of spam filters catching legitimate emails.
  • Enhanced security: if a third party sends a spoofed email, DMARC will likely catch it with the help of DKIM authentication and senders can receive those results, protecting your email from potential cyber threats.
  • Increased reliability: DMARC can reveal a sender’s origin, which helps maintain email accounts’ overall security, assuring emails are coming from a legitimate source.
 
These settings will help further enhance the security and overall reliability of your emails. If you wish to use DMARC, please contact our support team by emailing us at contact@pspinc.com or calling us at 1-800-232-3989 to set up the necessary DNS records.

thread
What’s New News...
For over 20 years now, we’ve been localizing content for small businesses looking to market toward both English-speaking customers and Japanese-speaking customers. Beyond just translating, we also build custom web applications, design and develop websites, and create digital marketing assets like social media posts using our localization expertise.

Our team at PSPINC knows it’s about more than just translating the words; it’s also about translating the meaning behind those words. That is the core of the localization work we’ve done for the past two decades, and what we continue to do even today.  If you’re not quite sure of where to start, we always start with a consultation between you and our localization team before embarking on our project together. Learn more by heading over to our localization page on our website.

Bloguru Legacy Themes to be Discontinued

thread
"Picnic Blanket" is used on thi... "Picnic Blanket" is used on this blog.
Thank you for using Bloguru.

As recent statistics show, more than 80% of people now access the internet from their smartphones. For those of you who are long-term Bloguru users, we have kept the legacy themes, which are not mobile-friendly. However, in this smartphone era, we believe that we should move toward more responsive designs that are compatible with smartphones.

Advantages of responsive design:
Mobile-friendly, making it easy to view on a smartphone
Easy-to-read text on all devices
--> Better user experience and lots of views!
 
Therefore, we are pleased to announce that we have decided to discontinue the legacy themes after January 8th, 2024 PST.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we would like to ask you to change to one of the Responsive themes before then.

If you are using one of the Legacy themes as of January 7th, we will automatically switch your blog to the "Picnic Blanket" theme.

-------------------
To change the theme:

1. Log in to Bloguru.
2. Click on "Themes" from the navigation at the top of the page.
3. Click on the "Responsive" tab.
4. After finding a theme you like, click on it.
*Click to apply the design you have selected. There is no "Save" button.
-------------------

If you have any questions, please contact us by emailing bloguru@pspinc.com.

What’s New Newsletter Vol. 196 “Benefits of Custom Web Development”

thread
What’s New News...
While it’s more costly, custom web development is well worth it in the end because of how beneficial it is for your brand. Custom web development benefits businesses, especially small businesses by:

1. Increasing security: Businesses can implement robust security measures to keep their data safe from cyber-attacks with the help of custom web development.

2. Giving businesses the ability to scale over time with their website: A successful business doesn’t stay the same forever, so their website shouldn’t either. Custom web development makes it easier to adapt to how your business and website change over time.

3. Tailoring to your brand: While there are multiple popular website builders and templates out there, custom web development allows for more branding opportunities and gives the website a personalized touch that templates just can’t offer.

4. Creating custom features: Every business is unique in what it offers, the customers they have, and what they need to succeed. Custom web development makes it possible for features that aren’t readily available on popular web builders.

5. Increasing search engine optimization (SEO): With more control over the website, developers can create the site with SEO in mind, which makes it easier for your site to rank higher organically in search engine results.

At PSPINC, we’ve worked with small businesses for decades to custom-develop websites to help them succeed. To request custom development from us, head over to our Web and App Development page.

What is Web Hosting?

thread
What is Web Hosting?
Web hosting refers to providing storage space and access to websites. In other words, web hosting acts like a space where websites store their files so users can view them online. So, every website you’ve ever been on is hosted on a server.

There are three types of hosting:

Shared: consists of one server where multiple websites share resources in equal proportions

Dedicated: offers end users all the hardware resources of a given server instead of sharing them like in shared hosting

VPS hosting: stands for virtual private server and is like a mix of the two, where a single virtual machine on a piece of physical hardware is shared with other virtual machines with levels of performance, flexibility, and control that fit somewhere between what shared and dedicated hosting offers.

Features Worth Considering



When choosing what features you need for your website, start by looking at what each type of hosting plan offers. Paid plans will generally have additional features that make it easier to manage your site as opposed to a free plan, which has the basics needed to get a website online. The more a web hosting plan costs, the more features there will be. But all you really need to keep in mind are these three aspects of your web hosting plan: speed, support, and scalability.

In terms of speed, multiple factors affect your website’s speed—one of which is your web hosting plans, and if your site takes longer than two seconds to load, generally, a user won’t stay on your site. When it comes to support, it’s important to know that your web hosting provider can get your site up and back up and running quickly if it were to unexpectedly go down. Lastly, there’s scalability. Your plan might work for you now, but as your site gets more traffic, you’ll want to upgrade your plan–your web hosting provider needs to have that option available for you to grow.
 
There is a myriad of choices when it comes time to buy web hosting, and PSPINC is one of them! Dreamersi is our premiere web hosting option that we’ve fully custom-built in-house, making it easier to control the overall hosting environment and features we’ve built into it. To learn more, head over to Dreamersi.com.

New Dreamersi FTP UI Now Available!

thread
New Dreamersi FTP UI Now Av...

Today, we’re happy to announce that our web hosting service, Dreamersi, has a new UI (user interface) for its FTP features! FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and lets users build your website by transferring files to a server. Web hosting like Dreamersi then hosts that server, making it much safer than hosting your site on a local computer, typically called the local host. Now, we’ve made it easier for customers to decipher the FTP login with our new and improved UI.

In the new FTP login UI (shown above), you can access your FTP link and view your host name, user name, and FTP password all in one place. If you need help setting up your FTP, there are now written instructions for major FTP clients, namely Cyberduck, FileZilla, and WinSCP, for Mac or Windows users. For those who don’t use those clients, we’ve also made it easy for users to contact our support team
