You know that the internet is experiencing explosive growth - but did you know that we are quickly running out of the original version of the Internet Protocol, known as IPv4?
Fortunately for us there is a replacement called IPv6. These new addresses look something like this: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
There are potentially 4.3 billion of them, or 2^32. 34SP.com has been supporting IPv6 for a number of years and we recently made some improvements to our IPv6 network.

PayPal is in the process of upgrading SSL certificates, to use the SHA-256 algorithm and Verisign’s 2048-bit G5 root certificate. If you use PayPal and are on an older legacy Reseller Hosting account - you need to upgrade your service due to this change.

Security is a top priority at 34SP.com. We have implemented a plethora of hardened security measures to protect your websites, data and email. However, there can be a weak link in this chain if your user names and passwords are weak. Which brings us to brute force attacks - these attacks are basically the process of trying to guess a user’s password many times in a row. Our WordPress Platform Lead, Tim Nash, explains how you can protect yourself from brute force attacks in this detailed post.
