Mid-July Update
It’s been pretty quiet on here lately, but we’re still here. There’s two major things going on right now: First off, we’re working on some cosmetic changes for the account control center (nicer looking notify/warning/error message displays) and a mass-update function for Primary DNS that will allow you to change matching records in selected zones.

Free Serial Console Ports
