Unexpected Downtime – Resolved

Jun 19th

Posted by CSN-UK | Charlie in Service Heartbeat

Our network is currently undergoing emergency alterations and maintenance to resolve an issue effecting many of our shared accounts in the process of redistribution around our shared hosting servers.

This has come as a result of a combination of factors including that of DDoS attacks directed at our network which had previously forced our site into a state of unavailability for many, thankfully this has now been resolved.

On top of this are working as part of our maintenance to bring the remaining effected sites online as soon as possible as well as to install additional equipment and defensive measures to ensure no further repeat of such an incident.

However as part of our commitment to both the ongoing stability of our services and that of our promises outlined to you are shared hosting clients we will be crediting all effected accounts with an additional months service and apologise greatly for any inconvenience.

Please as always don’t hesitate to contact our support team at any time regarding this issue or any other.

And again I apologise again for any inconvenience and ask that you feel free to request tickets to be refered directly to myself or a support manger for senior consideration regarding this issue.

Regards,

CSN-UK CEO | Charlie .S

This Issue has now been Resolved

We here at CSN-UK have been looking into a revamp for the better part of last year, after a lot of arguments between our designers the child that is our new look site was born. We have added a lot of interesting new features to the site and intend to add a great deal more.

As many will notice we have a shiny new logo to match our new look and these updates will be staggered across the site and some features will be temporarily unavailable during this period. to ensure this process happens as painlessly as possible we are attempting to carry out most of the visible work during the late evenings UK time.

If you experience any issues or have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us via email: support [@] csn-uk.net (remove the braces []) or live support at any time during this process.

Thank you for your patience.

echo ‘Hello World’?

“Hello World” you will find this tutorial in almost every computer language and it is the very first step taken when learning any new language. It will allow you to ensure your environment is working and introduce the <tags> used.

Let’s start by opening a text editor be that Dreamweaver, FrontPage, Expression Web, Notepad or any other. For the purpose of this tutorial we will use Notepad, please start by creating and naming the new text file: helloworld.php please note the .php extension.

PHP is self contained within tags, there are several formats for these tags however we recommend those used below as these are those that servers will seek out by default. Within a PHP file you are also free to use other languages such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript to name a few.

Type or copy and paste the code below into notepad, and press save.

<html>
 <head>
  <title>Hello Word</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
 </body>
</html>

This is now your first PHP page, although so far what have we learnt? Nothing? So it is now important to understand the code that you have just used:

<html > </html> Begin and close the file in a HTML format.
<head> </head> This content is not visible directly on the page to the user but contains information about the webpage.
<title> </title> This is the name of the file as visible in the top of the web browser.
<body> </body> This begins the main Body of a HTML file and is where you type the code for the visible content on the webpage.
<?php ?> These are the PHP open and close tags, all PHP code must be contained within these tags in order to work correctly and not cause an error.
echo ‘Hello World’; The function we have used here is echo, and it will simply display the content within the commas on the webpage. Please also note the ending semicolon ; this is required at the end of each statement within PHP however there are some exceptions to this which will be mentioned in further tutorials.
