Part of being a customer-focused company is looking for ways to improve upon our services. Our enhanced Server Portal is one of our most recent improvements and it has been well received by our customers. The communications channel allows customers to remotely reboot their servers among other features. It also allows viewing of bandwidth for customers.

Our Vice President of Development, Nicholas Gaugler, was interviewed by WebHostReportCards.com about the upgrade of Codero’s Server Portal. Nicholas also talks about the beauty of Cloud which Codero now has in beta. See the article here.

Elves Jump into Action at Codero.

Codero employees helped lift the spirits of area children by buying gifts to donate to Toys for Tots. Employees created a new spin on the typical “Secret Santa” gift drawing. Instead of the traditional exchange in which one is assigned a person to whom they anonymously give a gift, employees bought a gift for the chosen name based on the toy they imagined that employee would have played with as a child. The gifts were then donated to Toys for Tots. Money was contributed by the company itself after the employee gift exchange and additional toys were bought to give to the area kids. See Photos of Codero Elves in Action.

It was a great feeling to spread some holiday cheer outside the company and give to children who may otherwise not receive a gift. See the full press release here: Codero Helps Meet Needs of Area Children.

SEO and Website Hosting: Free Webcast.

If you are a search engine optimization (SEO) enthusiast, here’s your chance to learn something new.

Codero recently sponsored a webcast with industry expert and speaker Vanessa Fox. Vanessa is the creator of Google’s Webmaster Central and author of several books. If you missed this informative hour, fortunately you can still listen to it free on-demand.

When you are trying to launch a successful SEO campaign, the last thing you want is to be hindered by your web hosting provider. From her experience on the frontline working for Google, Vanessa offers advice on how to select a web host. She suggests you find out if your hosting provider is thinking about search acquisition the same way you are. Ask questions like:

How do you handle search engine traffic?
Do you block bots when they overload the server?

Managing bot traffic is a big issue for the web host themselves. Enlist a web hosting company that understands how important search engine marketing is to you. And make sure that company has a robust architecture that can handle the load.

The webcast further explains:

What happens when bots overload the server.
How to use a shared site responsibly so you do not cause excessive crawls.
Which server operating systems are used.
And, how hosting services manage parked domains.

Participants also called in with their own personal questions like:

Do I have to buy managed hosting if I do not know how to configure a server?
What are the most effective ways to increase search engine ranking?
If I have dedicated hosting, what specifically can I do to address server speed?

Vanessa is also a contributing editor to SearchEngineLand.com where you can find many more answers to SEO challenges.

1st Annual Codero Chili Smackdown!

Dave Macaulay — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:57:02 +0000

Ah, the beans, the onions, the thick, meat-filled, spicy aroma of chili – the perfect food for fall. Yes, today was Codero’s 1st Annual Chili Feed and Contest. Out of the ranks came 12 contestants – each concocting their own unique brand of the red (or white) stuff – and seven willing judges (and a big container of Tums). To the winning department: the coveted “Golden Server”. But everyone benefited on this day with a great lunch and a just little heartburn.

Chili entrants included:

“Kelly Clarkson”
“Devil’s Advocate”
“Cousin Whitey’s Spicy Chili”
“Brett Favre”
“Ryan Elledge”
“W.M.T.S. Chili”
“Jerry Springer” (Cincinnati-style chili)
“Days Off Chili”
“Fire in the Hole”
“Silly Billie-Willy’s Hilly Willy-Nilly Chili”
“Alpo #9 in a Crockpot”
“Love ‘em and Leave ‘em” (from Ben Magoon’s Famous Delicatessen)

The individual winners? Matt Rozycki of Billing, Shawn Hashmi of Operations, and Christine Eckhardt of Billing. And a new home for the shiny, much traveled Server (also Billing). Wait til next year!
