Dear ,
I am pleased to announce that Netfirms will soon be transitioning to a new hosting platform, allowing you to benefit from:
* A simpler domain management interface with improved layout and navigation, custom designed from the ground up, based on user feedback.
* More bulk domain editing functionality, providing greater convenience to customers managing multiple domains.
* Easier domain renewal management.
* Increased network security and a larger systems operations team.
What You Need To Do
In the weeks and months ahead, we will be working very hard to make this platform migration a successful one. As with any change, there will be differences in the way you manage your account. Not to worry, though: we will be in frequent communication with you to walk you through the process.
If you have any questions in the meantime, be sure to visit our transition information site, where you'll find the most up-to-date information on the migration. We will continue to update the site with new information as it happens. Also, please do not hesitate to contact us by calling 866-317-4678 (press "1" for information regarding the transition) or emailing transition@netfirms-inc.com.
Please note: as part of the transition, domains will be transferred from the Netfirms registrar account to a registrar account with Tucows. This transfer will have no effect on your domains or where they point, and you will continue to manage your domains through your Netfirms control panel, just as you do today. More details >>
Why We're Changing Platforms
We started Netfirms 13 years ago with a goal of delivering top-notch domain and web hosting services to as many people as we could. Today, with 1.2 million hosted domains, we can't help but be proud of how far we've come -- and how far you've taken us. And now it's time to take the next step: bringing our vision, our passion and our support to even more people in the coming years.
To help us take that next step, one of the top domain management and web hosting teams in the industry has acquired the Netfirms domain and hosting business. We realized that we needed a more scalable infrastructure, and that moving to an existing hosting platform, with proven reliability, would cause far less disruption to customer accounts than developing a solution in-house.
Please take a moment to review our revised Terms of Service, which will take effect on April 1, 2011. When customer accounts are migrated to the new hosting platform, which is located in the United States and managed by the new owners, customer data will, of course, continue to be hosted on a secure and confidential basis. Please review the new Netfirms privacy policy if you have any concerns.
The new Netfirms team has been in the business even longer than we have, and we trust them not only to continue providing the great service you've come to expect, but also to offer a variety of new features to help you better manage your domains. More importantly, they have a proven track record of delivering on the same vision that we've all worked toward for the past 13 years.
We appreciate your ongoing support, and we understand that you, our customers, have made Netfirms the company it is today. On behalf of the entire Netfirms team, I wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Thomas Savundra, CEO
Netfirms |
