We’d like to let you know that scheduled maintenance of two of ours network’s servers, SupremeCenter10 and SupremeCenter11, will be executed on Wednesday, September 26th, and on Thursday, September 27th, respectively. The actions will take place between 10.00 AM to 14.00 PM GMT (05.00 AM to 09.00 AM EST) both days and will be aimed at increasing the performance quality of the servers’ hardware.
The maintenance procedures are planned to move the data on SupremeCenter10 and SupremeCenter11 to a brand new server, so that both servers could rely on a much more advanced hardware infrastructure. The migration time completion is expected to be around 4 hours as the following services will not be accessible within that period - Control Panel, email service, Front Page Server Extensions, Site Studio and FTP. The overall downtime for users’ websites is expected to be around 30 minutes.
We’d like to apologize in advance for any possible inconvenience that the maintenance procedures might cause to your online presence. However, we trust you understand our efforts to ensure the reliability and up-to-dateness of our network system.

We are happy to announce that new software, called .htaccess Generator, has been made available in the Web Hosting Control Panel. Its purpose is to allow you to create many widely used .htaccess file features.
Where is the .htaccess Generator?
You can find the .htaccess Generator in the new Elefante Administration Tools section in the Web Tools menu. The new section includes also the Hotlink Protection and IP Blocking tools that have been taken from the Elefante Marketing Tools section.
Where is the .htaccess Generator located?
We have developed this tool taking into account your need to create .htaccess files and the fact that these files are sometimes not functioning properly due to incorrect parameters. The new generator will create the files properly so that there will be no need for you to contact our Technical Support team with regard to problems of such kind. Of course, we are always ready to help if problems with malfunctioning .htaccess files hosted on our servers appear.
What features have been made available in the .htaccess Generator?
The features have been grouped in the following six sections depending on their purpose:
default index page
additional MIME types
authentication - allows IP and password authentication
mod_rewrite - allows host authentication, wrong URLs redirection to another web server, language-based redirection and blocking sites by referrer
custom error documents - allows the setting up of custom Error 400, 401, 403, 404 and 500 pages, as well as document redirection to a new URL
other options - allows the enabling of Server Side Includes (SSI), hotlinking protection and PHP inclusion in HTML files
How can you apply the generated .htaccess code?
As soon as the form has been completed and submitted, the .htaccess code is generated. For your convenience, the code is being displayed in a text box so that you may choose whether to add it to an existing .htaccess file, or to have the file created in the selected location.
We trust you will like the new tool, as we are always happy to make our services easier for you to use.

A new feature has been made available in the Control panel. It enables you to sign up quickly for a completely new hosting account when the current hosting account has insufficient resources or in case a new project is about to be started. That’s not all - a new interface has been developed for the signup process. It has the features of a Shopping Cart with its main advantage - allows management of the items that are being ordered without losing sight of them.
| Let’s choose the Setup New Account link in the web hosting control panel and take a short tour through the steps of the signup process using the new interface.
|
 |
Step 1: Select a hosting plan
In the first step of the wizard you will get acquainted with the hosting plans that are currently on offer. To review the plan features and compare the hosting plans that are available for purchase, choose the Compare plans tab. To proceed to the next step, click the Order button that corresponds to the plan that suits your needs. Note that in the Cart table you can use the Change plan link to switch to another hosting plan at any time during the signup process.
|
 |
Step 2: Select domain
In this step you must choose the domain name that you want to host in the new hosting account. You can register a domain name, or transfer an existing one, registered with another registrar. There is an option also to host your existing domain name without transferring it. Once you enter a domain name for registration / transfer and click the Add domain for hosting button, you must add to cart the domain that you’ve chosen in the results’ list. Of course, you can use the Change domain link to change the domain name whenever you want.
|
 |
Step 3: Account info
Here we come to the place where you must submit the information needed in order to create the new hosting account. It is very important to enter the username of the new Hosting account and make sure that the contact e-mail address is correct because the new account information will be sent there. The same information will appear in the WHOIS of the domain that is ordered for registration or transfer.
|
 |
Step 4: Select payment
Finally, we come to the last step of the wizard where you must select the preferred payment method (credit card or PayPal). Make your final decision whether you would like to have the web hosting account created and, if everything is in order, use the Next button to complete the signup process and submit the payment.

We aim at making our services a real pleasure for you. Our desire is to enable you to do more with fewer efforts. After the several Control panel upgrades that we have made recently, we are presenting to your attention now the new version of the Elefante FREE Scripts installer.
Considering your feedback, we’ve tried to improve this useful tool and the result is a more intuitive and less time-consuming scripts installer, which now offers you more scripts. We hope that you will like it. We’ll give you an idea of what you should expect to see:
New Interface
The new interface will allow having all the scripts displayed at once. One look at the Control Panel will be sufficient to see the various categories and the corresponding scripts.
|
 |
More information
Why going to each script’s page to see what its purpose is? Placing the mouse on the script’s name will show you a short description, which will give you an idea whether this is the software that you are looking for. If it isn’t - no problem, you will have some other scripts in the list to choose from.
|
 |
One click for complete management
A single click on the chosen script will give you the complete information needed for its management: software name, version and description, the option of installing the given script as well as the current number of the installations with the corresponding administrator URL.
|
 |
Script administration
The new administration panel is available in the Installed Applications section. A single click on the link in the Admin URL column will give you full information about the script - date of the installation, the database that was used, as well as the administrative login information.
|
 |
Script versions
We will do our best to keep the versions of the scripts that will be available in the Elefante FREE Scripts installer up-to-date. Every time there is a newer version, we will make it available for installation. You should bear in mind also the following:
- It is your obligation to install new software versions and updates of the versions that you have already installed. Some programs don’t have updates and thus they may cause security issues. We are not responsible for any security issues that may arise as a result of non-updated versions of the scripts.
- We do not provide support for these scripts. Contact the development companies or check the support forums in case you experience any problems with the installed applications.
