Hope that helps!

Ultra-Low Number of Sites per Server

We are dedicated to providing lightning fast web hosting, which is whywe boast one of the lowest sites per server ratios in the industry.Instead of being overcrowded, our servers are undercrowded. Thenumber of accounts hosted on a web server can have a significant impacton how quickly that server is able to respond to page requests. Sincesystem resources such as processor time and RAM are shared by all usersof a server, a server with too many accounts can be slow to respond andcause your site’s visitors to become frustrated and leave. Many hostingcompanies pack too many accounts onto each server in an effort tomaximize profit. At Site5, we feel that the long term customersatisfaction resulting from providing high performance hosting is farmore important than the short term profits made by overfilling servers.Our customers love the extra speed they get at Site5, making them morethan happy to recommend Site5 to their friends, family and websitevisitors.Join Site5 today and experience the many benefits of our”undercrowded” servers!

60-Day Money Back Guarantee

Aion Soundtrack Now Available

Tony August 29th, 2009

Thanks to Curlen for bringing this to my attention! The official Aion soundtrack by Ryo Kunihiko is available for purchase at iTunes and Amazon.com

Beta Believe It!

Tony August 27th, 2009

Finally, some news!

The Open Beta, Pre-select, and Head start program dates have been announced today by NCsoft.

Open Beta will commence on September 6th, and run through to September 13th, with a level cap of 30.

The Pre-select program, which allows pre-order customers to select their character name and server in advance, will begin on September 18th, with the headstart program beginning two days later on the 20th.

Forums Are Up, Transition Complete

Tony August 23rd, 2009

Although you may hear the occasional echo of a distant hammer, the new web site and forums are up and running thanks to Zach R. Just select the “Forums” tab on the front page of this web site and you’ll be taken directly to the forums (promise, no Rick Rolling here!).

Similarly, I believe that Zach has pulled the rabbit out of the iTunes hat and made it so that the transition would not interrupt your current subscription. Please be aware that we will be closing the original site in about a week once everyone has had a chance to pick up the new feed.

If you want to hook up with other listeners, try to get info on a game-related topic, or simply learn what a “mullet with headlights” looks like, then go to the forums, register, and join in the fun.

Next step – THE FORUMS!

Zach August 19th, 2009

Alrighty then, the main site is pretty much done, I still need to tweek things here and there and change a few small graphical things.  I’ll be working on the forums tomorrow, with hopes that I can go live with them by Friday at the very latest.  Please keep in mind that this is our beta as well so you will no doubt see an issue here or there, feel free to send bug reports and or suggestions to me at ovid@elitistjerks.com.

PS: Follow us on twitter @abysspodcast for real-time updates on what I’m doing with the website, podcast and Aion news, ect.
