If you are a Reseller you will be interested in our new Dedicated Server Reseller programme. The programme allows you to offer your customers a Control Panel to help them manage their Dedicated Server.
The white label Control Panel offers features such as rebooting servers or viewing bandwidth graphs.

We’re going to show you how to make expandable rounded corners with CSS. Using our method will require only 6 HTML tags and one background image (yes, ONE image for all 4 corners!). It also validates, works across all the major browsers, and looks great in your source code.

Making the corner images
One downside of most of the other methods for rounded corners is that you require multiple background images, one for each corner. With our method you only need one. If you take a look at corners.gif in the source files you’ll see how you need to set up your image. The basic premise is to create a full circle, chop it up into 4 segments and put each segment in the opposite corner to what it started in (top left would go into the bottom right, etc).
The last thing to do is put a white (or other colour) background behind the segments and then save the image.
HTML Code
<ul class=”roundedCornerWrapper”>
<li class=”top”>
<span></span>
</li>
<li class=”middle”>
Heart Internet
</li>
<li class=”bottom”>
<span></span>
</li>
</ul>
Keeping the HTML short and valid is important for many reasons, so for the rounded corners we’re going to use an unordered list with some span elements. There may be shorter methods, but this is quick, easy, and validates.

We have just done a really special deal with Serif the software company based just a few miles away from us. We are offering the full and latest version of their popular web design package WebPlus X2 for FREE with the Heart Internet Home, Business or Reseller web hosting packages.
This really is a great piece of software, the guys at Serif gave us a demo of it a few months ago and we were surprised at how good it is. As well as being Vista certified the software has loads of very neat features. My particular favourite is the flash photo galleries, you just select your photos, choose the photo gallery look and feel and it’s done. The styles are right up-to-date, when you visit one of the galleries you think someone has worked on it for hours.
That’s just one of the features, I’ve also been trying out WebPlus Smart Objects as well. You can choose from phpBB forum, a blog, access control, mailing list, website poll and a few more. Again you just click your mouse a few times to setup the feature in your website.
The basics are well thought out also, like the way you can easily change site navigation just by dragging and dropping.
A couple of other hosting companies have offered WebPlus before but it has always been a cut down, older version. For example with one you can only publish five pages! We can’t see the point in that, it’s just frustrating, that’s why we are offering the full package – just like if you had bought it from the Serif website for £59.99.
If you are new to Heart Internet have a look at our web hosting packages at the link below, the ones that include Serif WebPlus are clearly marked:

If you are an existing customer you also get WebPlus X2 for free (none of that “only for new customers” business here!), just login to our control panel and click the “Serif WebPlus” link:

We hope you enjoy using Serif WebPlus X2 – compliments of your friends at Heart Internet.

We have updated a number of the scripts you can install from eXtend to the latest version:
WordPress upgraded to V2.6.1
PHPCoin upgraded to V1.4.4
Joomla upgraded to V1.5.6
Locked Area Lite upgraded to V6.0

You might be interested to know that keeping the scripts we provide up-to-date is quite a big job, on average it takes 3 hours to update each one and on occasions when major changes are made to the script it can take a few days. Some scripts like Joomla and WordPress release a new version every few weeks!
Remember that if you would like to suggest a script to install you can do this from the feedback icon in our Control Panel.
Feedback forms are useful for individuals and businesses to receive information from their users/customers online. Using a form allows the user to interact with the website in a variety of ways; for example a “Quotation Form” to request a quote for a product/service online using pre-defined questions on your website or even a simple “Contact Us” form where the user can submit their query to you instantly. Using an embeddable form will also help reduce the amount of spam you receive, as your email address will not be directly published on the page.
Using Heart Internet’s powerful eXtend 2.0 control panel, you can create your very own feedback form within minutes using our FormMail script. It’s fully customisable so you can tailor the form to your requirements – you can even add drop down boxes and radio buttons. You will get instant feedback, as anything the user submits will be directly emailed to yourself. Normally, forms require some scripting knowledge, e.g. PHP, FormMail takes the headache of this away.
