New servers, new names, new prices

Each year, old technology is replaced by new, bringing us faster, better computers and servers (among other things, of course). SuperbHosting.net has now released some new dedicated servers, and with that, updated our pricing and the way we name our servers.

Macworld 2008 - 90 minute keynote in 60 seconds

In the last few years, Macintosh has become one of the most dominant forces in Technology. Somewhere between the release of Mac OS X and the iPod, the company re-invented itself.

However, there’s been a screenshot released by a French blog that suggests […]
