Big Announcements from Google

Posted in Industry
 

In the past few days Google announced two big changes to how it will display search results:

1. Personalized Search Results - Instead of displaying the same results to everyone who does the same search, Google is now personalizing the results based on your searches over the past 180 days. Check out these articles for more information:

2. Real-time Search Results - Google will be incorporating real-time results from Twitter, Google News and other sources on its search results pages. See examples and more details at:

Time will tell how will these changes affect search engine optimization strategies for business Web sites.

IPv6 Update from Adhost CTO

Posted in Company News, Industry
 

As of January 30th, Adhost is Time Warner Telecom’s first IPv6 customer.  Adhost has been at the forefront of the IPv6 rollout and has been committed to convincing our providers to adopt IPv6 across their networks.  We currently have multi-homed IPv6 connectivity through Time Warner and NTT/Verio, and we’re working to get additional IPv6 connectivity through AboveNet and Level 3.

The latest estimates indicate that the last available IPv4 space will be allocated and used by 2011.  After that point, no additional IPv4 addresses will be available for use on the Internet.  Adhost has been actively using IPv6 space since 2005, so we are well positioned to transition seamlessly to an IPv4/IPv6 “dual-stack” Internet and then to an IPv6-only Internet.

If you have any questions about IPv6, visit our IPv6 support page or send email to mksmith <at> adhost.com. I’m always more than happy to answer questions.

Spam Levels Decrease Across the Internet

Posted in Industry
 

Spam email across the Internet dropped dramatically on November 11 when an email and hosting provider in San Jose, CA was cut off from Internet connectivity by its upstream providers. This has had a positive impact on the amount of spam Adhost and other Internet companies have to process.

Starting on November 11, the overall number of emails coming into our email system dropped by 60%. We are still getting the same amount of valid emails, but the totals have dropped from 15 million per day to 5-6 million per day. 10 million less spam email per day is a GOOD thing. Read more.
