This is a reminder to everyone regarding security on our servers, but also a general public notice regarding passwords & hackers. The update to 3.2 on the Control Panel added some security value to our control panel, as well as a few new features we're going to experiment with and roll out as needed. While digging through information regarding these features, I read about some security issues other hosting companies have had regarding email and FTP. Much of this had to do with passwords. I simply want to address one issue.

While we run our own servers & such, complete with email packages, we prefer the Gmail way of doing things and have outsourced our personal email accounts to Google Apps. However, we ran into a problem when trying to register for the service from here in China. Google Apps "isn't available in your country".
