We are glad to inform you that the maintenance of SupremeCenter5 and SupremeCenter27 has been completed successfully and the servers are fully operational now.
We thank you for your patience!

A maintenance of SupremeCenter27.com is scheduled for Monday, August 20th, between 09.00 and 11.00AM GMT (04.00 to 06.00 AM EST). During this period, a hard-disk-drive (HDD) of the server will be replaced with a new one and for that reason we expect about 2 hours of downtime for all services and websites hosted on the server.

We would like to assure you that the content that you have stored on that server is safe and we will do our best to minimize the downtime as much as possible.

New options are available in the Subdomain Manager in the webhosting Control panel. Until now, one of the features in this section was allowing to set up the ERROR 404 page for each virtual host (domain or subdomain) and the options were: to use the system Apache error page, or to set a website URL that will open in case someone mistypes the host URL.

Now, in the Subdomain Manager, besides the ERROR 404 page, there are options to manage also 400, 401 and 403 error pages. Thus you will have control on the error pages that appear when there are problems with your hosts or with the server.

Please note that the new feature is available for the hosting accounts located on the servers from SupremeCenter5.com to SupremeCenter15.com for now. If you have any questions or meet any difficulties while setting up the error pages, feel free to send your inquiry in a trouble ticket that can be opened from the Help Center section of the web hosting Control panel.

We would like to inform you that at 09.00 AM GMT (04.00 AM EST) on Wednesday, August 15th, we will perform a software update to SupremeCenter21.com. The activity is expected to be completed by 13.00 AM GMT (08.00 AM EST) causing a downtime of about 4 hours and we would like to assure you that the data that is being hosted on the server will not be affected in any way.

The software update can not be delayed and our system engineers will do their best to complete it as soon as possible.

We apologize for the inconvenience that this activity will cause!

An unexpected problem with SupremeCenter9.com requires a hard-disk-drive (HDD) replacement to be performed as soon as possible. The activity will take place between 09.00 AM GMT (04.00 AM EST) to 10.00 AM GMT (05.00 AM EST) on Wednesday, August 15th and will cause a downtime of about 1 hour. We would like to assure you that your data is stored safely on the server.

We thank you for your patience and understanding!

New top-level-domains (TLD) have been made available for registration and transfer through the Domain Manager of you Control panel. More TLDs give you a chance to get a domain name that will fit better to the purpose and the target-group of your website.

The new TLDs that you can order now are:
.cc  .tv  .name  .cn  .com.cn  .net.cn  .org.cn  .tw  .com.tw  .idv.tw  .org.tw

The TLDs that we have been offering for registration so far are:
.com  .net  .org  .biz  .us  .info 

To see the new TLDs, select the Register / Transfer tab in your Domain Manager, or click the Register / Transfer button in the Upgrades menu.

In the Register / Transfer page you can select the box under the domain search bar for the TLDs that you would like to be included in the search. Please note that the pricing varies for the various TLDs and you can check it in the table that is on the right hand-side in the same page.

In order to see what the features of the TLDs are, (which can have ID Protect, which you can lock, etc.) just click the TLD Info link and all the information will be displayed in a table.

NOTE: If you can’t find those TLDs in the Domain Manager of your web hosting Control panel, please submit a trouble ticket to our support in order to receive instructions on how to order such domain names.

The Change Plan section in the web hosting Control panel has been re-designed. We have applied a shopping-cart interface in order to present the web hosting plans in a more informative way and let you choose easily the plan that you need.

The link to the Change Plan section is located in the Upgrades menu, on the left hand-side of your web Control panel. The purpose of this section is to allow you to upgrade your current hosting plan to a more resourceful one.

If you compare the new design with the old one, you will find out that it is only the purpose of this section that is still the same. The new shopping-cart interface allows you to change your plan in 2 steps, providing with complete information for the hosting plan features. In the section for each plan, there is a short description of the hosting plan features and the price of the upgrade. To get more detailed information for the hosting plans you must click on the name of the hosting plan.

The Compare All Plans link in each section, displays in a pop-up the complete information for the hosting plans. You just have to review the list of features and decide which plan you should upgrade to.

Once the hosting plan is selected, click the Next button to get to Step 2 where you must select the currency (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD) and the payment method (2Checkout or PayPal).

Today we are launching a new service that concerns the security of your domain names. The service is called ID Protect (also known as WHOIS / ID Protect) and is purposed to protect your personal or business information displayed in the WHOIS from spammers, fraudsters and solicitors who use the WHOIS data (e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc.) illegally. In other words, once the service is activated, the registrar will display fictitious details in the WHOIS, so that the real information will stay hidden, but all the e-mails that are sent to the fictitious e-mail address will be filtered and forwarded to the actual e-mail address set in the WHOIS.

The ID Protect service can be ordered only for domain names registered with us, and has its own expiration date that is not related to the expiration date of the domain name. Another important thing is that this service is available for the .com / .net / .org / .biz / .info TLDs, but is not supported by country domain names like the .us TLD.

Let’s see how to activate WHOIS protection for your domains.

ID Protect for new domain(s)
	Just start the domain registration process from the Register / Transfer tab in the Domain Manager of the web control panel. At the top of the page, where you must setup the WHOIS information and order the service, you will see the domain name(s) that you have selected with the option to choose whether you want to activate ID Protect service and for how many years. When a domain is registered and the ID Protect service is activated, a green-shield-icon will be displayed in the Domain Manager. A single click on the icon will allow you to enable or disable the service.
ID Protect for already registered domain(s)
	There are three ways to order ID Protect for domain(s) that have been registered with us. The easiest way is to get into the Domain Manager and there click the Add link in the ID Protect column for the domain that you want to protect. The other way is to use the Quick Controls option in the upper-left corner of the web Control panel. In the panel with the information for the domain that you have selected, you will find a WHOIS section with an Order ID Protect link. If you have activated the service for that domain, in place of this link there will be a Manage ID Protect link that will allow you to enable or disable the protection. The third way to order the ID Protect service is to choose the Edit WHOIS option in the Domain Manager and to choose the green Order WHOIS / ID Protection link that is available there.
Management of ID Protect service
	ID Protect service that is already active can be enabled or disabled at any time. This can be done using the Manage ID Protect link located in the Quick Controls panel of the domain names, or with a single click on the green shield for the selected domain name in the Domain Manager. It is recommendable that you disable the ID Protect service, when you are attempting to transfer a domain name away to another registrar, in order to approve the transfer request that is usually sent via e-mail.
