You have a lot of choices when it comes to hosts, but here at DowntownHost, we feel that we can provide you the service you need at a price that’s reasonable. We offer several levels of service, so regardless of what your hosting needs are, we can meet them with a high level of quality, and with the level of service that you expect and deserve.
We offer shared hosting, VPS hosting, reseller hosting, and dedicated hosting. If you run a very small site, we can help. If you run a larger site that requires its own server, we can help with that, too. But we don’t take your money and leave you on your own.

There are many elements to a website, or more specifically to ensuring that it runs smoothly. Your server needs to be connected to quality bandwidth, and you need to load your content efficiently. One easy way to do that is to use caching. What caching does is this: it stores a page’s content and serves it in a manner that reduces the stress on your server, and in so doing, it increases the speed for your site’s visitors.

Google Apps is a valuable tool for businesses and people alike. With it, you can use e-mail through Gmail’s interface, but with your website’s e-mail. In order to set it up through Cpanel, of course, you have to have your account set up through Google Apps.

Setting up your account will involve verifying it, which can be done in a number of ways. The system will guide you through the process, but perhaps the easiest option is to upload a text file that the system will give you. This will verify that you have administrative access to the domain. Once this step is complete, you will be able to set up your MX records, allowing your domain to exchange information with Google Apps.

Here at DowntownHost, we’re always thinking of ways to improve your hosting experience. To that end, we’re excited to announce that, in response to customer demand, we now offer Europe-based hosting. What this means for you is high-quality bandwidth, and reliable hosting from our datacenter partner in Amsterdam.
Now, your options extend beyond our facilities in Denver. By having the option of hosting in The Netherlands, our European customers will have access to faster bandwidth, because there will be less “hops” from your access point to the server.

vBulletin is one of the finest and most popular message board software packages available on the Internet . The installation process is rather involved, but not as complicated as you may think.
The two main requirements are that you have PHP and MySQL installed on your server. If that is the case, then you can move forward with the installation process.
After you purchase a license, you will be sent a customer number and password. You will use this to log in to http://members.vbulletin.com, and that is where you will download the vBulletin software.

Hello everyone!.

If you didn’t know, this is our nineth year so, we all here at Downtownhost thought it would be nice to reach to our customers in a more social way, and this is how we will do it.
As it is our birthday, you’ll all see that we are making changes.  In fact, we changed our site, we started this blog, and we are upgrading servers and softwares too.
Even though this is new to you, we have been working on this for over a year already with our designers, so you all know how much work and effort we had to put into this.  We were e-mailing back and forth with the designers, going to meetings, deciding which were the best options to do it, until we finally got the site you are now being able to browse.
