Please let us know if you have any questions.

We’ve made some changes to the way our popular Affiliate Scheme is run. We now pay ALL our affiliates 50% of EVERY sale they send us!

Being an affiliate is easy and many of our customers benefit from referring their visitors to our services. Some of our more cunning affiliates even use the system to pay for their own hosting- thus rendering their hosting costs to 0!

For more information on becoming a Colorteck affiliate and getting paid every month for the sales you send us, please choose a link from below:

Hi,

Our thanks go out to David, an observant Colorteck user who noticed this link today:

We have taken steps to protect any wordpress installations of this version which are on our servers. It is highly advised that you upgrade to the latest version of wordpress 2.1.2, especially if you were using 2.1.1. Version 2.1.1 is the only version which is “dangerous” but older versions of software are also best to upgrade just as a general rule of thumb when the developer has released newer stable versions.

If you have any queries about this just drop us a line.

It’s always difficult trying to decide whether we should make one server a PHP5 environment, or a PHP4 environment. You will always end up making life difficult for someone. Often, hosts will put PHP4 on a server and then add modules to cover for the gaps which PHP5 fills as and when a client needs them.

So, we decided to do something a little different; we now offer PHP4 and PHP5 on all our servers! How does this work?

We have both environments available to “tap into”, so that you as the webmaster can dictate what you use. By default, PHP4 will be used, since the majority of sites work in PHP4. If you need PHP5, you just add two lines of code to your .htaccess files, like this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

Et voila! You are running in PHP5. Life has become that little bit easier for all of us..!

We now believe the issues mention in the previous post regarding our billing software “modernbill” to be resolved. However, if you should notice any error with a new paypal subscription please let us know immediately and do not go ahead and pay it yet. Thank you.

Hi,

We’re experiencing a problem with our billing software Modernbill. Although state of the art, we are among a group of users who have experienced a similar problem. Some paypal subscription links are being produced with the wrong interval number of months between payments, sometimes too much, sometimes too little.

In order to avoid this potential problem affecting you, please double check the subscription details of any NEW subscription you sign up to. Existing subscriptions will not be affected.

We are working with the developers to have this fixed ASAP.

Thanks!
