We have set in motion a plan to have all our Unix servers moving forward to be Web 2.0 ready. We currently have servers for both resellers and shared hosting that have PHP 5, Ruby on Rails and Python installed. If you are currently on a server that is not Web 2.0 ready and wish to be open a ticket with our support staff.

Some have criticized that Web 2.0 is just re-branding of old technology. You will find that the new rich applications you can create using the above languages really can improve the performance of your own site in future.

Although this has been done by other hosts in the industry we have wanted to do this for awhile. Our goal for this blog is to provide another form of communication to our existing and future customers. We want people to know what we are up to and were we plan to go.

In the coming months you will find posts from various staff members who will be sharing ideas and innovations that are soon to be or are already a part of what makes us BlueFur.com. You will find marketing tips for your site online and from time to time just fun things we feel you might enjoy.

…and so begins our journey into blogging.
