Posted about 1 month ago

Howdy!

It’s been a busy quarter for us at Blue Box Group. Beyond moving into our new office space in Tacoma, WA, we’ve been hard at work on our shared hosting product, building out our new Box Panel control panel, and designing our new branding. Check out our latest news below to get all the latest on what’s new!

New Look For Our Website!
We’ve recently redesigned our primary website in what is the first of a series of visual updates that we will be making across all our customer facing content. This is the first major step in our series of branding improvements that we hope will truly express the unique products and services we offer and make us a stand out in the crowd of hosting providers. We will continue to build out our site in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

New Product Offering – Shared Rails Hosting!
Just in time for Rails Conf, we’re happy to announce we now are offering Shared Rails Hosting using Mod_Rails under Apache. This is the final piece of the puzzle in our full spectrum of services, allowing us to provide affordable and reliable hosting to every potential customer. With an entry price of $9.99 / month, this Shared Hosting package allows people without the need for large virtual servers or dedicated servers to enjoy a high level of service. This product is still in beta, so there may be quirks.

Rails Conf Sponsorship!
Speaking of Rails Conf, we were again a sponsor of the event. We did forgo doing a booth this year. But don’t fret, we took that energy and poured it into the above releases. Either way, we’re proud to continue our tradition of giving back the community.

Blue Box Group CEO Jesse Proudman will be attending the Five Runs Happy Hour at Rails Conf Friday evening. Stop by and say hi, grab a business card and some swag, and collect a discount off our services.
