We’ve MOVED!
Posted on October 17, 2008
We found we outgrew our cyber space location a lot sooner then we thought, though we can’t complain
We have officially moved to a new dedicated server. The move took place last night, and it can take up to 36 hours to fully propogate. Everything has been re-setup and we should be back to normal. This change only affected our main portfoliositez.com site, blog, forums, and support.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Jen and Jamie =)

Sale!
Posted on October 10, 2008
We were amazed at the response we received from everyone who signed up as well as our current clients for our birthday. Many missed the sale and have asked us to run it again. It was intended to be a 3 day sale so we cannot run the same deal, however we will run a different sale for all who missed our birthday.
———————- SALE ———————-
FREE SETUP ($20 value) – use coupon code BDAYSETUP
$190 individual sites – use coupon code BDAYIND (this code only good for individual template orders)

A WORD ON HOSTING:::
We have been asked why we do not offer unlimited hosting like others in our industry or other hosting companies. The answer is simple, we don’t agree with this practice. It’s not that we don’t want to offer you everything we can, it’s just that we do not want to use gimmicks to get you to sign up. You can’t actually have unlimited space and bandwidth because servers have harddrives which have limited space, and companies have bandwidth limits. Companies that do this limit ‘server resources’ (if they try to keep their servers running at optimium levels) which causes your site to be suspended temporarily at times for ‘CPU usage exceeded’ or have a lot of downtime due to overloading their servers. We don’t agree with this practice because it gives the illusion that you are getting a better product and more when in reality these servers are more overloaded and oversold then those with limits.
We want you to know that what you get with us is what you have to use or keep open. We do not oversell our servers which is why our servers run at optimum levels all the time. Even though our servers have a lot of extra space since the majority of clients never come close to using their 2Gigs we keep them clear so that clients can feel comfortable knowing that there is a limit on how loaded the server they occupy will be. This help us maintain an excellent uptime and server speed. Our servers are also housed in state of the art datacenters with some of the fastest connections in the country.
Company Corner:
* Prices will NOT go up and packages will not change. We originally stated that we would increase prices when we finished launched the V2s before our next big new site release. Due to the current economy we didn’t feel it was right to raise prices when people are feeling the strain of the economy.
* Diego V2 the next to launch. We don’t have an exact date yet but we estimate 2-3 weeks.
* Big plans for next year. We are as excited as you that these version 2′s are being launched and will be released soon. Why? Because it means we can start on our NEW sites – and trust me, do we have some surprises for you!! I am so excited about our next new launch that I can hardly keep the design a secret…
* Our main site is moving. We have outgrown the current location our main site and support system. We are working on moving everything over to a dedicated server that will be used just for our site. This means a more reliable connection to our support system 24/7
Customer service is a priority for us which is why we didn’t have a blog post for the last couple of days. Clients are a priority, and if any extra time for work is needed then we will spend it taking care of our clients rather then writing a blog post …

WE ARE EXTENDING OUR SALE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. I was so caught up in all the fun and games that I didn’t even think that I had an appt all morning (Little Rusty needed Surgery) so I missed out on answering a lot of questions as quickly as I would have liked. Since some people were waiting on answers to make a decision on whether to buy I think it is only fair we extend the sale so they can receive their answers and still have the opportunity to purchase at the sale price…
Speaking of Rusty… I must share one of his latest photo shoots with me
CATCHING SOME Z’s…
This is our on-going contest, the first 15 z’s we receive will receive a free ‘go green’ tote in the mail. We need more Z’s! Z’s can be sent ANYTIME as our Catching Some Z’s promotion will last all year… so find a Z and send it on over! If, after the first 15 are chosen, we show your Z picture on our blog as our Featured Z for that day’s blog you will receive a tote.
Here are some we have so far…
And to finish off this post below is Jamie’s image of her favorite one year old…
We didn’t say it has to be a baby ;-)

an update :-)
Posted on October 3, 2008
Just wanted to let everyone know we are still working on the upgrades and setups from today and yesterday. I will make a post when everyone is setup so you know for sure whether or not your site was not setup rather then still being worked on.
This pup was just too cute not to share! ![]()
