CUSTOMER ADVISORY: File Eating Worm Expected to Hit on Friday

A new worm is due to activate on Friday under several names, including “CME-24,” “BlackWorm,” “Mywife.E.” The worm is designed to corrupt common file types, such as “.doc,” “.pdf,” and “.zip,” and even tries to disable anti-virus software. According to experts, the most vulnerable are small businesses and home users, especially if they do not have the latest anti-virus software.

Aplus.Net is prepared to keep our customers safe! We have the most current anti-virus software, and our server level virus protection is extremely robust. This is especially evident with our email system, which is more secure than many of the free email services. While Aplus.Net has powerful security with respect to data stored on our servers, we cannot control what happens to the data you store at home. With this in mind, we recommend that our customers download the latest anti-virus software and use our secure email system while the virus is active to lessen the risk of transmitting the worm to their PCs. If you have any security-related questions about our system, please feel free to contact customer support at .

Your Add-Ons are Multiplying!

Aplus.Net has enhanced our offerings. Effective immediately, customers have independent access to any database-driven application for each domain, rather than each account. That is, previously, if you had five domains under the same account, you were only allowed to have one blog, one wiki, etc. Now, each of your five domains can get its own blog, wiki, etc. We wanted to give our customers the opportunity to add individuality to their domains and reel in new visitors. Enjoy!

Sneak Preview

Will Google Analytics Revolutionize the Web Analytics Industry?

What good is a website if its owner does not know anything about what the visitors like? Behavioral details like what pages of the website users visit most, where they get lost, where they tend not to go, etc. can be tracked via special software tools. The latest product to hit the market is Google Analytics, an extremely powerful tool, rivaling software that costs as much as $2,000 per month. A Google Analytics user can track the geographic areas of the visitors, sales completed online, types of browsers they use, and other important factors.

Expert Opinion

According to dedicated server expert, Christopher Luck, there are some good ways to tell when you have outgrown shared hosting and need your own dedicated server:

“The daily use of your internet is something that will help determine whether or not you should go the way of a dedicated server. For instance, if your site has more than 3000 users daily, you should probably think seriously about dedicating a server. Also, if you notice a slowing down of your website, that may be a sign that your business would be better off and more efficient with a dedicated server…. If the numbers work out right, a dedicated server can be a great value to your company, increase your business, and raise your efficiency.” (source: EzineArticles.com)
