We have a couple of exciting announcements.. First, we’ve added subdomains to all packages except nx-Micro. Then we’re moving our blog to a subdomain, and lastly, we’re unveiling our Sandbox.

Sub-domains

We’re very excited to finally be offering our clients sub-domains on their hosting packages. Many of you have been requesting for sub-domains for a while now, but we always make sure we are able to deliver and support a feature before we offer it to our clients. So for us to be able to offer a value added service at no additional cost means we firmly believe we’re heading in the right direction.

The Node Six Sandbox

The Node Six Sandbox is a place where we’ll be putting up working versions of some of the cool projects that we’re working on in-house. Think of it as a window to our geek lab.

Node Six Sandbox Projects will mostly be web based applications. Some of them will exported for desktop use, or whatever crazy ideas we come up with.

Below are a couple of upcoming sandbox products which will be released to the general public as alpha preview versions. Please note that they are currently using production code names.

Pathfinder

Design Kingdom
An online designer’s resource featuring design, visual effects, 3D animation, film, web development etc. For Ugandans, by Ugandans. Powered by WordPress, mySQL, PHP and humans.

If you would like to be added to the list of alpha and beta testers, (basically you get to find out about the public releases first and also get exclusive info on upcoming releases), please subscribe to our newsletter .

For those who’d like to read previous entries on our old blog, which was powered by Joomla, please go here…

We’ve moved our company blog from the main website to a subdomain, for several reasons.

One, it’s easier to for our visitors to remember http://blog.nodesix.com

Secondly, we’re looking into promoting WordPress as a blogging platform, on top of playing around with it as an option for a full blown but relatively less complex CMS solution for some clients.

Also, the default Joomla! blog system we were using on the main site is a little limited and doesn’t give us much flexibility. Of course, we could tweak it more, but why re-invent the wheel when there’s a perfectly good blogging platform in WordPress?

Too many words.
