U7 Networks

 U7Networks is happy to announce high availability WordPress cloud instances. No worries about installation, with just a few clicks you can be up and running with your wordpress site within minutes.  Running WordPress on our cloud infrastructure ensures speed and availability.  Pricing is the same as our iWeb instances.

WordPress is a free and open source blogging tool and content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. It has many features including a plug-in architecture and a template system. WordPress is used by over 14.7% of Alexa Internet’s “top 1 million” websites and as of August 2011 manages 22% of all new websites. WordPress is currently the most popular CMS in use on the Internet.

WordPress was first released on May 27, 2003, by Matt Mullenweg as a fork of b2/cafelog. As of December 2011, version 3.0 had been downloaded over 65 million times.

With this new offering we have also revamped our control panel for our iWeb instances, look forward to more enhancements as we continue to move out of our Beta offerings.  Below is a screenshot of the new iWeb (and wordpress) control panels.

Here are some things we’ve had some questions about regarding our Instant Website Instances.

• You can have as many MySQL databases at no charge as long as you have an iWeb instance running.
• We provide detailed Webalizer stats by pointing your broswer to http://www.mysite.com/stats (replace mysite.com with your website address).
• We offer PHPMyAdmin to manage your databases, get to it by pointing your browser to http://www.mysite.com/pma/ (replace mysite.com with your website address) .
  

Here is a quick tutorial that gives a rundown of the Instant Website Instances.

We have started building our video tutorial series.   The latest is an introduction to U7 Networks.  This will give you an idea of what we’re building behind the curtain.  More to come.
