Announcement

Multiple webmail clients now offered

Tags:

Rhombic Networks now offers multiple web mail clients for those who wish to check their e-mail on the road. We offer both Squirrelmail and the new growing-in-popularity Roundcube AJAX webmail client. You can access them via:

Please notice that Roundcube is beta software and may have bugs. If you encounter problems please let us know, but do not wait for a fix and use the much more mature Squirrelmail instead.

We are also considering installing the IMP web mail client in the future.

New SSL certificate for mail.rhombic.net

Tags:

This is just an announcement to the Internet as our clients have been notified already: we’ve installed a CA-signed SSL certificate for mail.rhombic.net.

Now when you are checking and sending your e-mail from your favorite e-mail client, you won’t get an error about being unable to validate our certificate.

Please see the knowledge base articles on checking your e-mail and sending e-mail.

control-panel.rhombic.net moved to my.rhombic.net

Tags:

We’ve moved https://control-panel.rhombic.net/ to my.rhombic.net.

This site hosts our billing system, webmail system, and will host our future control panel.

At the moment it is using a self-signed certificate but will sport a CA-signed one soon.

Webmail moved

Tags:

Rhombic Networks’ webmail has been moved.

It is no longer available at https://secure.rhombic.net/mail/, but is now available at https://control-panel.rhombic.net/mail/. Please update your bookmarks accordingly.

New website launched

Tags:

Our new website is online! At this point, most of the content is similar to the old one, but it is much better organized.

One of the new, much better-organized sections is the knowledge base: a central point where you can get information about using Rhombic Networks services.

We’ve migrated the old news articles over, but unfortunetely links to them are now broken.

If you’ve any questions or comments, we appreciate the feedback! Please use our contact form.

MySQL 5.0 migration completed

Tags: • 

STATUS: The transition was completed flawlessly. Kudos to the Debian project! Rhombic Networks is now running MySQL 5.0.

Keeping in line with how Rhombic Networks provides cutting-edge tools for web developers, we soon will be moving from MySQL 4.1 to MySQL 5.0.

Please pardon out dust...

Tags:

If you’re not a client of ours already, you probably may not know we are undergoing a lot of changes to present ourselves with a more “professional image,” along with making our site and services easier for our customers to use.

One of the consequences of this: there are many dead links right now on this site, as we actively move and design the best organization for information we need to present.

If you find a dead link, problem, or inconsistency, we very much appreciate it you tell us!

anubis moving to another office

Tags: • 

Status update: The move is now completed. All services on anubis should be restored.

anubis is moving to a new office, so it and it’s associated services will be unaccessible for the duration of the move. It is expected to be completed by Dec 27.

DNS and mail exchanger changes

Tags:

Rhombic Networks is redoing it’s setup of it’s domain name and mail exchanger servers. At minimum, clients who’ve registered domains themselves need to start using the new name servers. The old Nabla Design servers will continue to work and be maintained, but only as afterthought to the hosts listed below.

If Rhombic Networks purchased your domain for you and hosts your DNS, you do not need to be concerned about these changes.

DNS servers for DNS hosted by Rhombic Networks

You’ve purchased your domain yourself through a registrar (i.e. Register.com, GoDaddy), but host your DNS through Rhombic Networks, please change the name servers in use (previously a.ns.nabladesign.com, b.ns.nabladesign.com, etc) to:

a.ns.rhombic.net
b.ns.rhombic.net
c.ns.rhombic.net
d.ns.rhombic.net
e.ns.rhombic.net

E-mail hosted with Rhombic Networks

If you host your domain on nameservers external to Rhombic Networks (i.e. ZoneEdit, DynDns.org), but still receive e-mail on Rhombic Networks servers, you need to set your MX DNS records, with increasing priority:

mail.rhombic.net
b.mx.rhombic.net
c.mx.rhombic.net

Backup e-mail exchangers managed by Rhombic Networks

If you receive e-mail on e-mail servers external to Rhombic Networks, but use Rhombic Networks MX servers as backup, we ask you to please use the following records:

a.mx.rhombic.net
b.mx.rhombic.net
c.mx.rhombic.net

modsecurity trial to increase web server security

Tags: • 

Rhombic Networks is running a trial of modsecurity in order to increase the security of our web servers. At the moment, it’s being run with Apache 2 on caligula.

We are still fine-tuning our modsecurity rules. If you encounter any problems with your web applications, please contact support.
