We would like to inform you that the Round Cube webmail software has been added to the Horde and Supreme Web Mail tools that are currently used for web-based e-mail management. Round Cube is pretty simple and reliable software that maintains the basic e-mail functions in combination with user-friendly interface. You will see the Round Cube on the webmail selection page that is accessible through the web hosting Control Panel -> E-Mail Options -> Webmail.
If you experience any difficulties while using the new webmail software, please send us your feedback using the Open New Ticket link in the Help Center of the Control Panel.

We would like to inform you that the substantial hardware upgrade of SC301.com, that had been recently cancelled, has now been re-scheduled and is to be performed on Wednesday 28th, from 01:00 PM to 07:00 PM (08:00 AM to 02:00 PM EST). The expected downtime is 2 hours during which all webhosting services will be unavailable. We would like to apologize in advance for the inconvenience that this may cause and to reassure you that all the data stored on the server will not be affected in any way!

We would like to announce that on Friday, November 23, between 09:00 and 12:00 AM GMT (04:00 – 07:00 AM EST) support of MySQL v5 library will be added to the PHP v4 and v5 available at present on our servers. Although we are not expecting this upgrade to result in any problems, our system administrators will first perform this procedure only on SupremeCenter7 and SupremeCenter47 servers and will then take a final decision as to whether the upgrade could be applied to all our servers. All web hosting services (websites, e-mails, Control Panel, etc.) are to suffer a downtime of about 1 hour. Please, accept our apologies!

The .DE TLD has been made available for registration and management in the Control Panel. This is the TLD for Germany and we believe that its implementation will meet the needs of our customer from Germany. It is worth mentioning that the registry of this domain, DENIC, has a few special requirements for the registration and management of .DE domain names and here you can learn about them.

WHOIS / Contact Information:In order to approve a registration request, the registry has set a requirement for street address or P.O. Box within Germany in the administrative contact section. To fulfill this requirement, an additional step has been added after the WHOIS information Please note that the .DE registry, DENIC may not approve the registration if the address is not correct.
Registration Period:The registration period varies between 1 to 10 years. Renewals for multiple years are possible as well.

Domain Renewal:.DE domain name can be renewed successfully up to 10 days before the expiration date. When less than 10 days are left to the domain’s expiration date, it gets a “Transit” status and the registry attempts to contact the registrant. If, after 4 weeks, there is no response, the domain is transferred to DENICdirect for further management and the registrant must contact then, in order to renew the domain name.
WHOIS / ID Protection:This service is not applicable for .DE domain names.
Registrar Change / Transfer:It is not possible to change the registrar of .DE domain names.

We believe that the information that we have provided would be sufficient to clarify the situation with the .DE domain names. In the Register / Transfer tab of the Domain Manager, there is a TLD Info page where one can find a detailed review of all TLDs on offer.

We would like to inform you that, due to problems with the chassis needed for the addition of the new hard-disk drives, the upgrade of SC301, scheduled for November 20, was not completed. Currently the server is working without any problems and we will re-schedule the activities as soon as the necessary parts are delivered. Thank you for your patience regarding this matter!
