We are still looking at hosting providers! We are more than happy with DigitalOcean‘s offering so far but have also just spied ServerGenie – a managed hosting provider based in Oklahoma.
The company also now offers fully managed WordPress hosting that’s insanely fast and infinitely scalable. Plans start at only $20 per month and include free migration from a client’s old hosting provider regardless of the number of blogs and domains to be moved.
ServerGenie’s entire customer support staff are WordPress and cPanel experts who are able to instantly assist a client with any hosting issues twenty-four hours a day – while we haven’t had reason to test this yet, reports are good and we are confident.
The company’s fully managed WordPress hosting accounts are hand-tuned to deliver the fastest WordPress experience available. A representative for ServerGenie said, “Our cloud servers also give us the capability to scale your sites with zero downtime in case of heavy usage or during the holidays when Internet shoppers are at their peak.”
In today’s technologically advanced world website load speed matters a great deal. In fact, Google recently reported that slower sites lose about 20% of their traffic for each additional 100 milliseconds it takes a page to load into an Internet browser. Google changed its algorithm several times last year. One of those changes incorporates a website’s page-load time into its rankings so that only the fastest sites are displayed on the search engine results pages.
The company’s free migration assistance includes moving a client’s website, email, and all configurations from their previous web host. The company’s representative said, “We’re so confident that we provide the best fully managed WordPress hosting services that we give each new client 30 days to test it, and if they don’t like it, we will move them back to their old host or a provider of their choice for free.”
Small business owners who are experiencing hosting issues with their current provider are encouraged to visit ServerGenie’s website to read more about the company’s fully managed WordPress hosting options. There is always a customer service rep available to answer questions via a live chat, email or on the phone.

This article details how to use “dmidecode” to find out your Checkpoint UTM-1’s model number.
Dmidecode reports information about your system’s hardware as described in your system BIOS according to the SMBIOS/DMI standard – see here for a sample output.
This information typically includes system manufacturer, model name, serial number, BIOS version, asset tag as well as a lot of other details of varying level of interest and reliability depending on the manufacturer. This will often include usage status for the CPU sockets, expansion slots (e.g. AGP, PCI, ISA) and memory module slots, and the list of I/O ports (e.g. serial, parallel, USB).
This also works on a number of linux-based operating systems including (but not limited to):
