Google’s search results have recently been overwhelmed by a massive spam attack. Newly registered domains, some just 24-48 hours old, have been exploiting loopholes in Google’s algorithms to rank for hundreds of thousands, and potentially millions, of keyword phrases.
At O’Brien Media, we champion professionally designed WordPress websites, and here are the reasons why.
At O’Brien Media, we continually strive to improve our communication and ensure that it’s accessible to all our valued customers. We understand the diverse needs of our audience and are excited to announce a significant update that enhances accessibility and user experience: the introduction of a “View in Browser” link at the top of all our emails.
At O’Brien Media, we are always on the lookout for innovative solutions that can enhance our clients’ digital experience. That’s why we are thrilled to announce that we are now offering SOGo Groupware as a complimentary add-on to our email hosting services.
In the realm of digital communications, email remains a cornerstone. Recognizing its critical role, O’Brien Media has strategically established a new, independent email hosting platform, distinct from our website hosting services. This platform is powered by iRedMail, a leading open-source mail server solution.
In the dynamic world of web hosting, making the right technological choices is crucial. At O’Brien Media, we’ve carefully selected Debian Linux, Nginx, PHP, MariaDB, and Node as the core components of our hosting platform. This combination, coupled with our commitment to virtualization and containerization, offers unparalleled performance, security, and scalability. Here’s a deep dive into why these technologies are the cornerstone of our hosting services.
The onset of COVID-19, a global health crisis unlike any in recent history, has left an indelible mark on industries worldwide, including the UK’s website design and creative media sector. The pandemic’s restrictions necessitated a rapid shift to online platforms, catalysing a digital revolution.
Your digital landscape is about to get a significant upgrade with the introduction of “Shirley,” the latest and most intuitive WordPress release. At O’Brien Media, where innovation meets expertise, we are excited to guide you through the new features that are set to revolutionize your website‘s performance.
WordPress 6.4 is being released today with new features and improvements. A plugin used on a lot of websites we create, called Toolset, needs an update to version 1.6.9 to ensure compatibility with this latest version of WordPress.
Email remains an indispensable tool for communication in today’s corporate landscape, despite the burgeoning array of communication technologies. While IMAP has long been the mainstay for standard email services, Microsoft Exchange delivers an array of features that transcend the capabilities of basic IMAP mailboxes.
