(The Hosting News) – More and more people are browsing the web on the go with devices such as the iPhone, BlackBerry or Android phone. In order to help website owners benefit from this boom, 1&1 Internet Inc., www.1and1.com, the world’s largest web host, today announced that its hosting packages are now offered with free professional web design software. Depending on the chosen hosting package, new customers will receive full versions of either NetObjects Fusion 1&1 Edition or Adobe Dreamweaver CS4. Both solutions allow easy creation of a website optimized for mobile viewing.
NetObjects Fusion 1&1 Edition is exclusive to 1&1 customers and especially suitable for beginners. This powerful website design application, included free with 1&1 Beginner Package, (priced from $3.99/month) and 1&1 Home Package, (from $6.99/month), provides a variety of templates already optimized for handheld viewing and navigation. All templates can be implemented into a homepage with ease. Even users without prior Internet experience can create a new, modern website in just a few minutes or adapt an existing web presence to be mobile compatible.
Customers selecting the 1&1 Business Package, (priced from $9.99) and 1&1 Developer Package (currently $19.99/month) can alternatively choose to receive Adobe Dreamweaver CS4. With this premium solution, advanced users can apply their own HTML code. This software includes the Adobe Device Central module that enables testing for the latest mobile devices. In doing so, users can ensure their website is fully optimized for mobile site visitors.
The smaller screen and touch functionality of mobile devices can often make it necessary to adapt the design of websites. Furthermore, a significantly higher number of operating systems and browsers have to be supported as compared to local hardware like PCs. Oliver Mauss, CEO 1&1 Internet Inc., said “Many websites have not yet reached the Smartphone age. As a result, small firms in particular can miss a massive opportunity. Businesses must ensure that when their website is viewed on a mobile, it loads quickly, functions correctly, and comprises an attractive and fitting representation of them.”
1&1 currently offers its Home, Business and Developer web hosting packages at a 50 per cent reduction in price for the first 6 months. All new customers who order hosting packages (in either Linux or Microsoft formats) during September and October will receive NetObjects Fusion 1&1 Edition or Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 for free. Existing 1&1 customers are able to download both professional web design solutions for a special price, directly from their 1&1 Control Panel.

(The Hosting News) – Apple says that it has a fix for the browser security flaw discovered earlier this week on its iOS-powered devices.
Apple now says that it has a fix for the browser security flaw that was recently discovered on its ios-powered devices.
Since developers released the latest jailbreak software hack for the iPhone over the weekend, it became apparent that the way the jailbreak worked–via an iPhone’s mobile Safari browser–that the phone has a security vulnerability when it comes to the way it loads PDF files from the Web.
An Apple spokeswoman on Wednesday released this statement, “We’re aware of this reported issue, we have already developed a fix and it will be available to customers in an upcoming software update.”
However, no clues were given as to when the new update would be available.
Sources of CNET recently said that there are two distinct vulnerabilities in the iPhone uncovered with the jailbreak software’s release. One of the vulnerabilities is in the way the browser parses PDF files, enabling the code to get inside a protective sandbox, and the other hole allows code to break out of the sandbox and get root, or control, privileges on the device.
The seriousness of the vulnerability has even spread to Europe where the German government has issued a warning to citizens and is conducting an investigation.
(The Hosting News) – SmarterTools Inc. is proud to announce the release of SmarterMail 7.x. The latest release of the mail server software includes a newly designed webmail interface and a number of other new additions that provide users with quick and convenient access to the software’s communication, collaboration and synchronization tools.
―With this release, we completely redesigned SmarterMail to make it easier for users to find and use the features they need so they can work more productively,‖ said Tim Uzzanti, CEO of SmarterTools. ―Plus, the manner in which we implemented the new design and features improves the overall stability and performance of the mail server, making management of the system even simpler for system administrators.
New features and enhancements in SmarterMail 7.x include:
Improved Searching – SmarterMail’s search function has been enhanced with a new indexing engine to return faster, more accurate results. Now users can find any message, appointment, attachment, contact, task or note from anywhere in the interface. System administrators will also notice that the improved indexing reduces server utilization.
Synchronization Center – To help users determine which desktop applications and mobile devices can be synced with SmarterMail, SmarterTools developed a synchronization center. When users access the synchronization center from the webmail interface, they’ll be able to see the available synchronization protocols for each application/device and view a list of their current sync connections. Popular mobile devices that sync with SmarterMail include the Droid X, iPhone 4G and iPad.
Redesigned Webmail Interface – The new webmail interface is visually pleasing and focuses on improving the user experience by reducing the amount of time and number of clicks it takes to access mailbox data. In addition, SmarterMail 7.x includes dozens of UI enhancements, including smaller page sizes, less JavaScript and more advanced interface rendering that help improve page load times. Together these changes improve the overall user experience on all devices, including those with touch screens, such as the iPad and the upcoming Android tablets.
File Storage – Files that are too large to be attached to messages can now be uploaded to the server and shared through public links—making it easier for users to share files and easing the load on the mail server spools.
CalDAV and CardDAV Support – SmarterMail 7.x introduces support for CalDAV and CardDav, giving users with Mac, iPhone, iPad, and other clients that utilize the technology additional options for synchronizing contacts and calendars.
Follow-up Flagging – To help users easily identify email messages that need follow-up action, SmarterMail 7.x introduces follow-up flagging. Emails marked for follow-up display a red flag icon within the message header and can be easily accessed from the special follow-ups view within webmail, ensuring that important emails can be identified at a glance.
Linked Tasks – Because email exchanges often result in new tasks, SmarterMail 7.x includes the ability to link a message to a task. Linked tasks display their start and due dates on calendars just like regular tasks do, but they’re also available from a special linked tasks view. By linking emails and tasks together, users can ensure relevant communications regarding a task are always easily accessible and available.
Mailbox Migration – Upon initial login, SmarterMail informs new users that they can easily transfer their email, contacts, calendars, tasks, and notes from another provider to their new mailbox with the mailbox migration tool. The mailbox migration tool eases the transition to SmarterMail from other mail systems by walking users through the migration process without any help from system administrators.
Auto-saved Email Addresses – Because most users send email to the same recipients, SmarterMail 7.x automatically pulls email addresses from the Sent Items folder and saves them separately from emails in the contacts list. These auto-saved email addresses are then used to auto-complete the To, Cc and Bcc fields when applicable and can easily be deleted if necessary.
Enhanced Contacts View – Along with a totally redesigned contacts view, SmarterMail 7.x also provides users with a list of the most recent messages, appointments, and attachments related to each contact in one, convenient location.
Free-Busy Scheduler and Availability Checking – SmarterMail 7.x includes two new features to help users schedule time to communicate and collaborate. With the free-busy scheduler, users can now note important events on their calendars without appearing as unavailable to meet at that time. Redesigned appointment invites include the option to check availability before accepting the invitation, ensuring users never double-book appointments again.
Multiple System Administrator Accounts – SmarterMail 7.x fulfills a request to allow hosting companies and businesses to provide system administrator access to the mail server without having to share the same login information. Now SmarterMail installations can have multiple system administrator accounts, each with separate login credentials.
Scalable and easy to manage, SmarterMail 7.x further expands on an already robust feature set that includes a rich webmail interface; synchronization with Microsoft Outlook and most mobile devices using Exchange ActiveSync; and optional add-ons for Commtouch’s Antispam and Zero-hour Antivirus.
SmarterMail is available at the SmarterTools website and through authorized resellers. A complete list of new features and improvements is available by viewing the SmarterMail 7.x release notes.

Applied Innovations is offering free hosting on AppliedI-Labs for the IIS Media Services 4.0 Beta.

To access AppliedI-Labs and join the IIS Media Services 4.0 Beta, simply sign up for the WebMatrix Hosting promotion and get a full blown AppliedI-Labs account for free until the end of the year!
IIS Media Services 4.0 Beta integrates a variety of highly-anticipated new features, including smooth streaming, live smooth streaming, transform manager, advanced logging, bit rate throttling and web playlists. Other themes for this release are iPhone support, content conversion, content creation and rich player options.
“IIS Media Services now has a checkbox option to allow live adaptive streaming delivery to Apple devices,” explained Chris Knowlton, senior product manager for the media server platform at Microsoft. “Using the same live H.264 streams you encode for Silverlight players running on PCs, Macs, Linux, Nokia S60 and Windows Phone 7 mobile devices, Broadcom and Intel set-top-boxes, IIS Media Services can now transmux those in real time to streams for iPad, iPod, and iPhone.”
A longtime Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and exclusive Windows platform web hoster, Applied Innovations is an active participant in Microsoft’s various early adopter and beta programs, including WebsiteSpark and the WebMatrix Beta Program.
“AppliedI-Labs was created to provide a safe environment to evaluate and develop various technologies, and it’s not just limited to Applied Innovations customers; anyone can sign up,” continued Coburn. “One of the things we’re evaluating is WebsitePanel, slated to become our next production control panel solution. We’re also currently testing a new hosting infrastructure to power AppliedI-Labs called the AppliedI Dynamic Server Cloud.”
