We’ve made some changes to the way Control Panel fetches and presents data. The changes will make some pages considerably faster than they have been in the past.
We spent some time carving up the out-of-the-box Windows Azure Pack control panel API, and we were able to make some pretty dramatic page loading time improvements. You’ll see a faster main page after login, and a faster site page. Those were the two slowest pages so they were the first ones we wanted to attack. We’re continuing work on improving speed elsewhere in Control Panel as well.
You’ve always been able to make a real-time backup of your databases in Control Panel, but if you needed yesterday’s database, or the one from the day before, you had to contact us and wait while someone over here retrieved it for you and dropped it into your site.
That’s never been convenient or efficient, so we got to thinking, “Why don’t we just expose our daily backups to the customers?” And now we have. Effective immediately, we’re giving you direct access to our SQL database backups.
Our friend – and Everleap customer – Jeremy Geatches from Country Meats in Florida was kind enough to send us a box of their product.
Country Meats is family-run business that makes meat “snack sticks” that FFA, schools and other organizations use for fundraising. They’ve sold more than 63 million snack sticks, which is a lot of meat any way you slice it.
Wow. Another year passes. 2014 just flew by so fast that I didn’t even have a chance to post this in December! Every year I try to look back and talk about the top ten things that we accomplished during the year. This is the first of such lists for Everleap. So for 2014 – here goes…
XIGLA Software is based in Medellín, Colombia, and makes function-specific apps written in .NET and Classic ASP to add functionality to websites. Their products include a newsletter manager, banner manager and calendar and many other .NET software solutions.
After several years on a shared hosting plan with our sister company DiscountASP.NET, XIGLA recently decided to move to our cloud based hosting platform Everleap. To learn more about what prompted the shift, we talked with XIGLA CEO and Production Engineer Juan David Arbeláez.
GDLsystems, based in Guadalajara, Mexico, is a digital agency that helps small to mid-sized business clients benefit from web applications and systems. They specialize in e-commerce sites and online catalogs, developing primarily in .NET.
We talked with GDLsystems.com CEO Juan Pablo Orozco to learn a little more about how they use Everleap for their e-commerce development projects.
Clinicmaster is a Practice Management Software solution currently being used by over 600 Allied Health Clinics and Allied Health Professionals across Canada, the US, UK and Africa. With a new web based portal offering being rolled out to their client base, Clinicmaster required a modern host that could deliver the scalable technology and infrastructure they needed, at a reasonable price for the long-run.
We talked with Clinicmaster founder and owner Max Di Paola to learn a little more about the hybrid architecture he is using, and where Everleap fits in.
The Reserved Cloud Server is your own fully managed, SSD-powered private Cloud Server with resources that are dedicated exclusively to your sites. There are several reasons that a Reserved Cloud Server might be right for you:
We think that our cloud hosting solution is awesome but we wanted to get some seasoned developers out there to test Everleap out and let us know what they thought and what they experienced. We put the message out in the CodeProject community and here are some of the reviews that came in.
For traditional hosting, it is typical to display information about how much disk space and bandwidth your sites are using in the control panel.
Our control panel provides that data. But we know that customers want more insight into the behavior and health of their web applications. So we now deliver enhanced usage stats including memory usage, CPU usage, HTTP requests and errors.
In the Site Overview section of the control panel, we now display a point-in-time snapshot of the site’s usage stats. You can refresh the data but note that the data updates in our database every 1-2 minutes. Below I took a screenshot from the control panel of this very blog.
