Bandwidth Monitoring starts September 1st, 2010 August 18, 2010

Starting September 1st we will begin monitoring bandwidth for all websites. Different bandwidth packages will be available and you will be required to upgrade to a higher bandwidth package if need be. We will provide the past 5 months of bandwidth reports so you can easily see which package you fall under. Only websites that are receiving either a high amount of traffic or have a template with big resources may be affected.

Please take a look at how our new monthly hosting prices will be:
$19.95/mo – Up to 50GB of bandwidth (most websites will still fall under this package)
$39.95/mo – Up to 100GB of bandwidth
$59.95/mo – Up to 200GB of bandwidth
$79.95/mo – Up to 400GB of bandwidth
$99.95/mo – Unmetered bandwidth (may change at a later date)

You will receive e-mail alerts if your account is estimated to go over your monthly limit. If you do not pay the overage amount before the month ends then we will charge a penalty.


On a side note we do have HTML compression enabled so you are already saving bandwidth.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

Create admins with limited access. November 4, 2009

You can now limit other administrators to only manage certain parts of your admin panel. All other pages will be totally locked up from their access and they will only be able to see what you want them to see. This can also come in handy if you want to assign a template design to just the template section of your administration panel.


Coding Structure Changed October 22, 2009

We have changed a very important part of the ShiftCode system that has to-do with the coding of Scripts, Includes & Templates. You may have noticed before if you tried to insert some JavaScript code or paste from Microsoft Word you would get some errors. We have made some major changes to our script that should put an end to this.

A quick example of what exactly was changed is this. Say you wanted to insert a banner rotation on your template. Well before you would put this:
{include file="_banner_rotater"}

The new way of doing it would be this:
{~include file="_banner_rotater"~}

So basically all "{" were replaced with "{~", and "}" were replaced with "~}".

We have noticed that the old style caused a lot of problems and without a good understand of how our system worked it was just a nightmare for some users but this should solve it.


Affiliate Network Update October 15, 2009

We have made huge changes to our affiliate network system. We have updated the PostBack URL for all the Gain Corporation networks for you. You will need to change your PostBack URLs for all other networks. The old PostBack URL will remain active for one month and then will take it down to just run the new system.

You will now have the ability to add your own Custom affiliate networks. You can even setup PostBack for networks that we do not offer. Below are a list of differences in the affiliate networks used with ShiftCode.

Also please not that each Affiliate Network will now be assigned their own ID. If your Quick Inserting offers you will need to use the ID number rather than the old "gc_marketgain" or "instantdollarz".

Gain Corporation
These networks use our affiliate network software. This will allow you to easily add offers to your site with a click of a button. Instant crediting is also automatically added when you use a Gain Corporation network. Offers will also be moved into an expired folder when expired on the network.

Premium
These are networks that can be purchased for a small fee. Premium networks all come with some sort of Instant Crediting and detailed instructions will be provided for each network. Some networks will also come with tools that will allow you to mass insert offers or easily update payout changes on an offer.

Custom
These are custom networks that you wish to add in. If you don't wish to purchase the premium networks or if the affiliate network requires manual crediting then this would be your option.

Thanks for your patience during these updates as this change will allow a lot more features to come in the future.
