October 4th, 2012 - Kualo deploy PHP 5.4 as an option for clients, alongside existing versions

Kualo announce the deployment of PHP 5.4

PHP 5.4 is the latest release of the popular PHP software which powers millions of websites around the world.

Customers can now choose to use PHP 5.4 in their web hosting account on a per directory basis, whilst retaining the ability to use previous revisions (5.2, 5.3) for backwards compatibility.

"Rolling out PHP 5.4 for our shared and reseller clients will enable them to develop sites and services that make use of the very latest functionality that PHP offers. Additionally, the fact that we allow multiple versions of PHP to run simultaneously within an account will enable our clients to test code and software upgrades without affecting live sites" said Craig Luke, Kualo's Operations Director.

Kualo's web hosting accounts provide incredibly stable and secure hosting, with all users isolated from each other. This latest addition will further enhance their appeal to businesses who require enhanced stability, security and a higher level of functionality than can be found with most other web hosting companies.

Kualo has been powering websites for over 10 years, and host tens of thousands of websites for customers from all over the world. In addition to shared and reseller hosting, the company also offers dedicated servers, cloud servers and custom managed hosting environments, including hybrid cloud solutions.

January 24th, 2012 - Kualo Launch MailMachine, Free Email Marketing Software

Kualo announce a new free multi-lingual email marketing tool - MailMachine.

MailMachine is a new cloud-based email marketing tool that boasts an impressive set of features - with an entry level plan that is completely free of charge. Designed for both seasoned email marketeers as well as those new to mass mailing looking for an easy way to send newsletters, MailMachine's feature-set packs an impressive punch.

Customers can subscribe to the base level plan which allows you to build a list of up to 2,000 subscribers and send up to 15,000 emails every month without incurring any cost whatsoever. The plan is not a trial and never expires - many other providers charge at least $10 per month for a similar service.

"We wanted to create a service that enables everybody, including small organisations with limited resources, to make the most out of sending newsletters and marketing communications by email," said Jo Stonehouse, Kualo's Managing Director. "While having fancy HTML and CSS skills is certainly very impressive, we realise that not everyone can be an email-coding expert. One of the great features of MailMachine is our Campaign Builder, which through its point and click interface, means anyone can create a beautiful email newsletter in minutes. Not only is MailMachine incredibly easy to use, but by making the entry level plan free, anyone can take advantage of keeping in regular contact with their customers."

MailMachine takes the headache out of sending newsletters by managing your list for you and helping ensure you always comply with spam laws, as well as providing detailed statistics so you know how effective your email campaigns are. Also included are advanced-level features such as A/B Split Testing, Auto Responders, Email Scheduling, Mail Merge, integration with Google maps, Twitter and Facebook, and much more. Customers with existing lists can easily import them from a spreadsheet or use one of the many integrations with 3rd parties, such as ZenDesk and SalesForce. For international customers, MailMachine is also available in French, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Turkish & Norwegian.

Here's the deal. If you're reading this post because you're considering Kualo, don't just sit there. Do it!

Everytime I have needed assistance someone from Kualo has been there - even when it was something that they CLEARLY did not have to do - they go above and beyond what anyone can/should expect a hosting company to do.

This is the one aspect of my business that I don't ever have to think or worry about. Kualo is there. Always.
