About News FAQ Hosting Customers Network Contact Accolades Link Swap		Latest News Friday, October 1, 2004 3D Host management has decided to cease all hosting operations from this day forward. We are no longer accepting any new orders and will no longer be offering hosting in the future. Our customers were informed about this one month in advance so we could assist them in finding a new host that would meet their needs. Refunds were given to customers when needed. This decision was not made lightly. We first started hosting back in 1998 under the name Stuff-X, which later evolved into 3D Host in early 2002. During that time, however, the hosting industry has changed drastically. The time involvement and increasing competition were two main reasons why we decided to shut 3D Host down. Our three servers were shut off on September 30, 2004. The 3dhost.net domain name will remain in place for historical purposes. This will also allow us to redirect subdomain accounts to their new sites and forward their old e-mail addresses to new ones. We are honored to have been a hosting provider for so many years, but it is time for us to pass the hosting torch onto others. Thank you for your understanding. Monday, August 9, 2004 Several improvements have been made recently. First, we have increased the disk space on all of our hosting plans. Current customers will be upgraded free of charge. Second, we have implemented Denial of Service (DoS) attack protection on our Web/OP server. Third, we have updated our Network page and the way that we are notified if/when one of our servers goes offline. Wednesday, June 2, 2004 All of the worlds we host in the ActiveWorlds universe have been moved to a new, faster server and pages on our site have been updated to reflect this change. In addition, world hosting prices were lowered. Wednesday, May 5, 2004 We are pleased to announce that we have acquired the World Hosting Division of IceFlare Hosting Services, a not-for-profit ActiveWorlds hosting provider. Monday, April 12, 2004 We have several announcements to make today. First of all, we have consolidated our two ActiveWorlds bot and world servers at our main facility into one server to cut costs and are passing the savings onto you, the customer. Also, our Web hosting/object path plans have been renamed to Bronze, Silver, and Gold (instead of Plan A, B and C). Some of them have been reduced in price and the amount of disk space included with them has been raised. All current customers will be upgraded to the new plans free of charge. In addition, we have partnered with another ActiveWorlds host to cater to world hosting customers that have larger and more busy worlds. This will allow us to expand in the future and continue to provide you with a fast and smooth hosting experience. Finally, we've changed the header graphic at the top of the site to give it a more humanistic feel and updated several pages on the site to reflect the changes mentioned above. Tuesday, February 3, 2004 You may experience some slowdown, lag or other interruptions during the next week or so due to the MyDoom viruses, which have launched distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against the SCO and Microsoft Web sites. Rerouting of data is to be expected. Go to News.com for more information. To see a global "traffic report" of the Internet, go here or here. Wednesday, January 28, 2004 We are pleased to report that as of June 2003 to the present, the 3D Host Web/object path server has had an uptime greater than 99.8%, according to Alertra! Tuesday, January 27, 2004 The world server was down for a few hours yesterday for general hardware maintenance (cleaning out fans, dusting the inside of the case, power cycling, etc). No other servers were affected. Also, there is a new e-mail virus out in the wild that may cause excess delays and trouble with delivering and receiving e-mail. Now would be a good time to update your anti-virus definitions. You can read more about this at News.com. Sunday, November 9, 2003 The world server was down today from 10:14 AM ET to 11:30 AM ET for general maintenance (disk integrity check, disk defragmentation, clearing of temp files, etc). The bot and Web server weren't affected and remained online. Friday, September 19, 2003 We are happy to report that tropical storm Isabel has barely affected us. The Web/OP server was fine since it resides in Texas. However, our AW bot and world servers located in Pennsylvania experienced connection problems for a few hours during early morning today and some peering issues occurred yesterday. A few power fluctuations were experienced, but all equipment stayed on during the storm and is working properly. Nevertheless, rerouting of data and latency issues may occur since the storm has brought down power lines (which also hold communication lines) in many areas and in various states. Thursday, September 11, 2003 We would like to express our sincere condolences for all of the lives lost during the horrific terrorist attacks carried out in the United States on September 11, 2001. Our hearts go out to the families, friends and anyone else that may have been affected by this tragedy. Tuesday, August 19, 2003 You may experience some slowdown, lag or other interruptions during the next few days due to excessive traffic/scanning being caused by new Internet worms and viruses. Rerouting of data is to be expected. You can read more about this at News.com. Monday, July 28, 2003 We would like to announce that we are the first official mirror site of the Internet Movie Project (IMP). Wednesday, July 16, 2003 We completed a full system backup of both the Active Worlds bot and world servers today. Downtime was about one hour and thirty minutes. We won't need to do another full backup for at least several months now. The Web/OP server was not affected. Thanks for your patience. Monday, July 7, 2003 The accolades page has been added. Thursday, June 26, 2003 3D Host is proud to announce that we are now rated with Hosting Assured. Monday, June 23, 2003 Today marks the official launch of our new Web site -- a new site design, but still the same quality service.
