Minor Change to our Terms & Conditions

8th August 2011

Domain name registrants are bound and protected by a number of obligations and rights imposed by ICANN, the organisation with oversight of the domain name registration system.

As a domain name registration supplier, Hiltonian Media is obliged to make its customers aware of these rights and responsibilities. We have chosen to do this by including a link to the (recently completed) document from within our Terms & Conditions.

You can read the new Registrant Rights and Responsibilities document on the ICANN website at http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/registrant-rights-responsibilities-en.htm.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

New Browser Releases - is your website affected?

22nd March 2011

Over the past few days, both Microsoft and Mozilla have released major updates to their web browser software – Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 4, respectively. These updates bring significant performance and security improvements, as well as streamlined user interfaces and new features.

Controversially, IE9 is only available to users of Windows Vista or Windows 7, leaving a significant number of Windows XP users unable to upgrade. This, we are told, is to make the most of hardware acceleration and other OS features. But Firefox 4 can be installed on a much wider range of platforms, including Mac OS X and Linux.

What does this mean for your website?

Whenever a new browser version is launched, there is always the risk of elements of your website displaying or behaving incorrectly – no matter how much forward planning is done! Sometimes these glitches are relatively trivial and require little or no action, but on occasion they can cause a significant problem for the users of your website.

What can I do?

If you would like to err on the side of caution, Hiltonian Media can test and review your website in the latest browsers and, where necessary, make any necessary amendments to ensure your customers see your website the way it should be. Give us a call on +44 1670 504096 or email sales@hiltonian.com for a free no-obligation quotation.

Durham World Heritage Site

21st January 2011

Hiltonian Media is delighted to announce the launch of a new website for the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Durham. Developed over an extended period in conjunction with Durham University and Durham Cathedral, the website is aimed at tourists, inquisitive locals and academics alike.

Content for the website was written by Durham World Heritage Site Co-ordinator, Seif El Rashidi, who said “We want people to enjoy the WHS as much whether they’re an eight-year-old child or an expert on Norman cathedrals.”

The website was launched to coincide with the beginning of celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the site’s inscription by UNESCO. Phase Two of development is now underway.
