We are excited to announce that ProperHost has just become a CloudFlare Certified Partner, and all CloudFlare services are now available for free to our customers!

CloudFlare protects and accelerates any website online. Once your website is a part of the CloudFlare community, its web traffic is routed through our intelligent global network. We automatically optimize the delivery of your web pages so your visitors get the fastest page load times and best performance. We also block threats and limit abusive bots and crawlers from wasting your bandwidth and server resources. The result: CloudFlare-powered websites see a significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks.

Through our seamless cPanel integration, customers can easily turn CloudFlare on/off for a domain by the click of a button.

Dear all,

We are pleased to reveal our new website design for ProperHost.com, along with a brand new logo. The new website features a new color scheme, a cleaner design and improved navigation. We have developed a new single-page order form using Ajax technology, reducing the number of steps and clicks necessary to place an order.

Furthermore we have incorporated a new Customer Reviews section on the front page, showing recently posted reviews about our services. The reviews are collected through ShopperApproved, an independent third party provider. We are fond of transparency and believe this will assist potential new clients in making a more informed decision.

Along with the new website release, we also announce the discontinuation of our shared website hosting services. From this point forward, our primary focus will be on high performance Magento hosting.

If you discover any bugs or errors on the new site, please kindly report them to support[at]properhost.net. We appreciate comments on the new design as well :)

With compliments,

ProperHost Management
