For NTC Hosting, 2007 was an intensive year, fulfilled with new entries, interesting ideas and fruitful collaboration between you and us. Throughout these 12 months of hard work we were totally inspired in our efforts to maintain higher and competitive the level of our web hosting system, and to provide better and more attractive opportunities for you - our clients. Eyeing back on the year, we are happy to affirm that all our efforts had been worth making, in terms of numerous implementations and upgrades performed. Big part of those were inspired by the precious feedback you were sending us, together with your highly valued recommendations. Let's preserve this working rate and collaboration also throughout the new year and cast an eye back now at some of our most significant 2007 events.

Entirely reformed was the Domain Manager. It now enables full control of your hosted domains through centralized management of all features (multi-year registration and renewal, transfer, hosting, DNS, parking, Lock/Unlock, WHOIS, ID Protection, EPP).

The recently enhanced Custom DNS Records section also supports extended functionality now. You are able to set CNAME, AAAA and TXT records, as well as additional NS, MX and A records.

Renewed is also the Upgrade section of the WHCP (Web Hosting Control Panel). The Add Services range of features is enhanced. The interface of the Upgrade Plan and Renew Plan functionality fields is now much better.

A new section was incorporated in your WHCP - Set up New Account, providing you with an opportunity, upon need, to directly purchase from there a new web hosting account.

Special attention was paid to our Elefante (Free Scripts) Installer. It was updated to a new version, containing better features and far user-friendlier interface.

An Administration Tools section was differentiated, with its latest addition: the .htaccess generator - an advanced tool for generating .htaccess files.

Two new languages - Dutch and Romanian - were added to the language family of the WHCP. A new link - Visit Store, was incorporated as well, quickly directing you to our dynamic up-to-date service offerings.

The Round Cube webmail software was included in the Web Mail tools currently in use for web-based e-mail management.

A great number of TLD extensions (top-level domain names) were added to the list of domains available for registration/transfer in your WHCP, together with WHOIS / ID Protect Service activated and multiple domain registrations/renewals for multiple years.

Throughout the past year our network administrators worked hard to improve the performance of our servers - the "backbone" of our web hosting system. Along with the adding of new servers, a few hardware and software upgrades (php 5 and MySQLv5 library) were carried out.

Special attention was focused on the rejuvenation of our billing system, which led to efficient tightening of its solidity regarding the payment verifications and order processings. The switching to multi-currency billing and the PayPal Pro payment solutions now guarantee you increased level of stability and security in the processing of your incoming payments through our Web Store or through your Web Hosting Control Panel.

For us, 2007 was an abundant year, providing benefits for all. And considering the rich palette of projects and ideas already scheduled to be performed, we dare say that, even from this early time-point of view, 2008 already looks as an incredibly interesting year as well, packed with events. Let us slightly "uplift the curtains" for those of you who are eager to learn more:
