Virtual Farm Creative, Inc has been a reliable web host for the past eight years, continually upgrading and enhancing our partnerships, equipment and levels of service.
But you knew that!
On June 10, 2007, VFC initiated what will be our most aggressive server upgrade to date and will include greatly enhanced performance, increased security and improved functionality. The upgrades will feature state-of-the-art servers as well as enhanced database and email functionality.
If your site and email is hosted by VFC, you will notice increased performance and better options that help your business succeed but YOUR HOSTING PAYMENT WILL NOT INCREASE in 2007.
However, it is possible that, as we complete the upgrades, there will be some erratic server behavior. Although we do not expect any downtime or bandwidth decline we wanted to alert you to their potential. We do expect to have completed this upgrade and to be fully functional and bullet-proof by July 6, 2007.
Feel free to call me anytime to discuss the upgrade or anything else that VFC can do to help you and your business succeed.
Enjoy the summer of '07!
