Hello members of the Vlexo community forums!
What we have planned


We do indeed have a lot planned a head of us. However I would like to share what we have in future for Vlexo.com and it's services, so we can further enhance your experience with us and due to this, we hope we can provide more of a reliable and also more of a nicer service; to cater you. As we are having a turn-around with our hosting services; which hopefully will give you more of an idea in how serious we are with our web hosting plans/future. :smile

The future | Keeping a head!

The future that lays a head of us is near and exciting, especially for us, as being nearly in a year of service, we are hoping to further enhance your experience with us, and due to provider change on such short notice, we are coming back with a 'thank you' for staying and being with us. So the future lays a head quite brightly and hopefully, I'll stop rambling and actually tell you what future plans we have a head.

Community forums update | Change

We are having a switch of forum software, from vBulletin to IPB, it's not that we do not like vBulletin, it's that we like a bit of variation and we will see how IPB will perform in next years v2 of community forums on Vlexo.com. If it performs much better then we will of course keep the same software intact, however if we see a drop in service, for example, vBulletin was performing better the previous year with the same amount of traffic, then we will of course revert to what it was like before.

Invision Power Board also has a lot of official modules created by IPS themselves, and we will be using some or simply just one of these modules, to enhance the community and the business/community feel of the forum. IP.Nexus, is one of these separate software, which is going to be installed.

Website update | Design

Yes, you heard it, we are indeed going to be getting rid of the current design and we will of course be replacing it with a much more nicer one with MORE COLOUR (Colour - I'm from the UK) however we aren't just getting this design done for us, we are getting it done for our paying clients! They will of course experience a revamped client area, which will look much more inclined than our current one. We hope you enjoy the services that are to come and especially the new web design which is going to be made for us.

Further more the design will also be integrated into the forums, to give off a feel that we are spending quite a bit of 'dosh' to improve things around here and of course to make it easier to navigate around our forums and especially our website, which has to be our main attraction to further improve our esteem of getting customers/-+clients. We hope everyone stays with us during this transition.

Paid web hosting plans

New things for our premium customers, will be privately posted in the news section of the "Premium customer Area".

Free web hosting plans

We will be modifying the free web hosting plans, however we will most likely be downgrading them, by editing the features to a smaller frequency, due to the free hosting we provide, is near to what we call premium hosting, so this will take into affect, and if you wish to have more features, you'll have to upgrade to our paid web hosting; known as premium hosting.

When are these changes happening

Never. Changes, will most likely be taking place either before or even after 2008 to celebrate our 1 year anniversary of Vlexo Hosting being up and running; so enjoy what we have in place now, as it's only going to get even better! Hopefully things will turn out for the best and we will not go through the trouble of doing things the 'hard way', like we have previously. To form it all up in one sentence, we don't exactly know when these changes will take place, they are just going to happen; whenever the time for us is ready.

Let me conclude!

Things are not only going to get better, however things are going to improve dramatically; even support! You will see this improvement in the months to come, we hope you enjoy your journey with us.

Thank you for reading,
:angel

      Besides, IPB doesn't need that many mods anyway, it has most of the features and more compared to what we already have here.

      Current free users will be also affected? :(

      Please don't do that. Myself, I was thinking about upgrading my account next year because of the great free service. I thought: "wow, if this is what I get for free, then what I will get by upgrading the account must be awesome"... if you reduce the features of free costumers, then people wouldn't be able to think in the way I did here.

      It won't be reduced significantly so that you go from 2gb to 100MB. Nope.
      I will personally make sure your account doesn't get affected.

      The decrease for free accounts is minimal, and it won't be something huge to worry about.

      The alpha package will remain the same, it's just the platinum and titanium package we are focused on.

      Edit: Plus, these packages will be getting new names! :)

      Wait, does this mean you are changing the current design? Or is the current design the new one?

      Changing the current design, right now its back and white... "It's boring." Is pretty much what Jon is saying...
