Greetings!

Learn about the tools you have, keep your email in check, and nominate a deserving business or organization for a free website!

Want to create a new email address but don't know how? Or maybe you'd like to change your email password? Join in on our free webinar this month on the Mail Manager!

This month's webinar will be on the Mail Manager om your hosting control panel. Make the most of the tools that come free with your hosting account.

This webinar will take place on Monday, October 19th at 2pm EST. You can call in by phone or use your computer's microphone and speakers (to avoid long distance phone charges) and listen to and watch the tutorial right on your computer monitor.

The webinars are free and last 30-45 minutes. Learn what you need quickly and easily. They take place on the 3rd Monday of each month at 2pm EST. Sign up using the link below.

We are updating our email policy; clients who save mail on the server must keep their mail files at no more than 20MB at any one time. This will keep the mail server working efficiently.

The best way to accomplish this is to set your Outlook (or other email program) to delete the mail from the server when you down load it - either immediately or after a few days. If you have any questions about using webmail, setting up Outlook or anything else regarding email, please let us know.

Ideally, every business and organization would have a good, usable, professionally designed website. The reality is that many businesses and organizations have put website marketing on the back burner, sometimes for years. As a result, they miss out on many opportunities to reach their prospects, clients, donors or members.

Two Windsor entrepreneurs are helping to remedy the situation by offering two free websites: one to a business and one to a non-profit organization. John Waiveris of Invisible Gold LLC and Paula M. Pierce of Hosting Connecticut LLC are website designers and board members of the Windsor Chamber of Commerce. They have teamed up on may website projects to offer good, professional design backed by an easy-to-use administrative interface that allows the website owner to keep the site updated him or herself easily without any specialized knowledge.

The businesses are accepting nominations from the public for the two free websites. To nominate a non-profit or a small business, use the online form or send a one or two paragraph explanation of how a website would help them reach their public and fill their prospects' needs. Include your (the nominator's) and the business or non-profit's contact information.

As of October 10, 2009, SSH login will require a key. If you do not already log into the servers using a key, please follow your SSH client software instructions, usually found under the help menu, to generate an RSA key. After the key is generated, upload it to your /home/user/.ssh folder. Once this is done, you will be able to log into the server using the key. Then, when you access the server, use the command, "su -" to become the root user.

If you are not an SSH user, this change does not affect you.

Thank you for choosing Hosting Connecticut, LLC for your website needs!

Sincerely,


Paula Pierce
