		<description><![CDATA[Hosting of email services with your domain name including backup and archival.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Add on email services</h3>
<p>While email accounts are an integrated part of standard web-hosting, some companies may have more stringent requirements or archival policies to adhere to. As such we offer add-on services to normal email hosting to fulfill these requirements.</p>
<h3>Incoming mail archival</h3>
<p>This add-on service helps keep a copy of all incoming emails to protect against accidental loss or deletions on the client&#8217;s email account or computers. This can be used to fulfill requirements to keep archives of all documents for years. This can be configured to work with most third party email service providers.</p>
<h3>Outgoing mail archival</h3>
<p>Similar to incoming mail archival, this service keeps a copy of all outgoing emails. This is useful in cases of disputes alleging to emails sent by the clients or their staff. Please note that this particular service is only available if the email accounts are hosted with us.</p>
<h3>Online Archives</h3>
<p>Normally, the email archives are not end-user accessible. This is to prevent accidental manipulation of the archived emails. However, we also offer an archival service where there is online user access for ease of self-serviced retrieval and reference. This is useful for customers who anticipate regular need to refer to older emails and want added redundancy to guard against data loss on their usual computer systems.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Shared hosting and managed virtual dedicated servers.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>Our hosting business is primarily oriented to serving our corporate clients, affiliate web designers, resellers and referrals. As a result of this focus, we typically maintain a low users per server ratio compared to bulk hosters. Due to this, honestly and factually we will never be the cheapest option you can find. However, you can rest assured your website won&#8217;t be fighting over the same server resources with a thousand other customers.</p>
<h3>Infrastructure</h3>
<p>For redundancy and flexibility, we have servers located in three locations in the US and Singapore. These include the use of world class datacenter operator Equinix&#8217;s Singapore datacenter. All our servers run enterprise grade Linux operating system on Intel processors with redundant storage on a mix of HP and Cisco networking equipment.</p>
<h3>Shared Hosting</h3>
<p>Shared hosting puts different customers on the same server. By sharing costs, this is the cheapest hosting plans for most customers. Shared hosting plans start from S$72/year. </p>
<h3>Managed VDS</h3>
<p>For clients with higher requirements but do not wish to manage their own servers on daily basis, we offer managed virtual dedicated servers. VDS are virtualized servers which serve one customer only and are backed by our private cloud storage cluster. This gives customers greater control and flexibility to use their server as they desired instead of sharing a common configuration like shared hosting. Managed VDS plans start from S$200/month. </p>
<p><b>For referral customers, resellers, non-profit and charity organisations, please contact us for special rates.</b</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Development of applications for standalone usage, integration with other services or bridging legacy systems.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Enterprise Applications</h3>
<p>Historically, our core competency in applications development is highly oriented towards corporate support services. These include CRM, HRM, operations and logistics systems that are sometimes also integrated with clients&#8217; user-facing websites.</p>
<h3>Web Applications</h3>
<p>In recent years, we have been increasingly engaged in developing plugins and modules for popular CMS such as WordPress and Drupal. For web designers who wish to focus more on the design aspect, we can work with you as your programming partner for the implementation of the site or any specific area requiring added functionality.</p>
<h3>Legacy Support</h3>
<p>Although the current market trend is focused on web and mobile device centric languages such as PHP, .NET, Java and Objective C, our past experience with C/C++, VB and .ASP allows us to help clients bridge legacy systems with modern solutions. We have assisted clients in extracting and transforming data from older systems for use in new solutions. Where technically possible, we can also provide support for software developed by defunct companies while clients migrate to newer solutions.</p>
