The SoCal Code Camp San Diego happens on the last weekend of this month, June 28th and 29th. We have sponsored all the SoCal Code Camps going back many, many years. They’re local events to us, organized by local user groups and attended by local developers, so we’re always happy to offer our support.
We previously sponsored these events as DiscountASP.NET. This year, for the very first time, we’ll be sponsoring under the new Everleap banner. And we’re very excited to introduce our new cloud service at the event!
There are two primary reasons to configure your website to use ASP.NET Custom Errors. The first being to provide your end users with a polished experience, even when things don’t go as expected. Nothing says “this site was slapped together” more than the generic 404 page issued by IIS or the 500 series yellow screen of death the ASP.NET Engine generates.
There are also security concerns when rendering verbose error messages to your users browser. There is no need for the world to know anything about the inner workings of your application. In fact if your website does expose verbose error data, you likely will not have a shot at becoming PCI compliant.
Here at Everleap we use the Windows Azure Pack, so we’re always happy to see headlines like, “Microsoft threatening Apache’s market lead” in Netcraft’s May 2014 Web Server Survey.
But even more interesting than that are the latest Netcraft website numbers: “In the May 2014 survey we received responses from 975,262,468 sites — 16 million more than last month.”
That means that this summer – in June or July – the web will hit the one billion sites mark. (Update: We reached it in early July!)
If you’ve been searching for a no-hassle method to protect and speed up your site, SiteLock is the answer!
Today we are announcing a partnership with SiteLock to help protect your websites from hackers and evil-doers and to help speed up your site with a basic Content Delivery Network (CDN).
SQL Server 2014 is now available as a database option on all of our cloud hosting plans.
You can create both SQL 2014 and SQL 2012 databases in the Everleap Control Panel. We have also enhanced the SQL backup tool, so now you can choose whether you want your backups in the form of the traditional .bak file, or zipped to save space.
What are you doing this Thursday at two o’clock?
If you’re not sure, then I have a suggestion for you; join us for our first (kind of) Google+ Hangout!
I say that it’s “kind of” our first Hangout because we’ve been doing Hangouts for DiscountASP.NET for almost two years, but this is the first for Everleap. And it will also be the first time we attempt a live demo, so you may want to show up and see if we can pull it off. 😉
I’ve been in the hosting industry for over 15 years and my relative’s eyes still glaze over when I try to explain what I do.
People use the internet every day to check email, look at websites, and consume online videos but the underlying infrastructure is still a mystery. Throw in the overhyped term “cloud” – which is used to describe practically anything that is hosted – and things become even more confusing for everyone.
My go-to way to describe what we do has always been to use a housing analogy, and during the //BUILD 2014 conference Scott Hanselman used the same method to describe the differences between Cloud Websites and Virtual Machines as the difference between staying in a hotel room vs. owning your own home.
Everleap is true cloud website hosting, built especially for those of you who like the features of the big cloud services like Azure or Amazon, but don’t need – or want to deal with – their complexity and cost. Take a look at how Everleap works.
It was created by the same people who brought you DiscountASP.NET, which has a decade long history of award-winning, best-in-class ASP.NET hosting. Our specialty is serving the ASP.NET development world, but these days we serve developers of all different stripes.
As part of that ongoing service to the development community, we’ve spent the past year building Everleap.
