Newsletter - New Year 2009
Good afternoon to you, and may we wish you a happy new year! Welcome to the first Calico newsletter of 2009.
What's in this issue? Well we've got information, news and new services:
  • Criticali - Don't wait for your computer to fail, speak to us now
  • Calico UK in Executive Magazine
  • VAT changes
  • Advance renewals of domains
  • Social Networking
  • Colocated Services

* * Criticali Online Backup * *
What would you do if your computer or it's hard disk failed right now? Are you prepared for a disaster recovery situation? Calico UK offers an online backup service that will protect your important files, databases, documents and emails. All you have to do is set it and forget it, and our product will do the rest.
 
We've recently updated our Criticali website to make it more user-friendly. The system itself is already easy to use, and our team are always ready to talk to you and hold your hand (albeit virtually/over the phone) to help you get things setup and running.
 
Why not have a look at the new site, and take us up on our larger free trial service. If you have any questions whatsoever we'd be happy to help:

* * Calico UK in Executive Magazine * *
With online backup and security in mind, we recently ran an advertorial in Executive Magazine. To read the feature please go to the following website:

* * VAT changes * *
As you'll all be aware the VAT rate was changed from December 1st onwards to be 15% instead of 17.5%. All of our products and prices have always been quoted on an excluding VAT basis so you'll see the change in VAT reflected on your invoices.
 
If you have any questions with regards to billing, feel free to call our accounts department on 01381 600526 or email accounts@cali.co.uk.
 
* * Advance renewals of domains * *
It has been suggested in at least one news item that top search engine site Google not only uses website content when it considers how highly a site should be ranked, but also looks at other information. In particular, it may look at the date at which the site domain name is due to expire.
 
If you wish to extend the registration of any of the .com, .net, .org, .info and .biz domain names that you host with us, for up to a maximum of ten years, please call our team on 01381 600580 or email info@cali.co.uk. Note that we offer a 10% discount for renewal periods of three or more years.
 
For more details, and to read the related news item go to the following site:

* * Social Networking * *
Despite being an internet business, we're new to social networking as a business. Many of you may be on Facebook already, so we've set up facebook accounts for both our Calico UK and Criticali backup brands. If you'd like to link up with us here are the addresses you need:
 
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Calico-UK/57650042891?ref=mf
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Criticali/49326687790?ref=mf
 
You'll also find Kirsty and Campbell on LinkedIn, which is a social networking site aimed at linking professionals rather than companies. It allows you to link up with each others contacts, share information and other opportunities. Again, here are the links that you'll need:
 
http://www.linkedin.com/in/kirstypryer

* * Colocated Services * *
If the connection between your office computer or server and the Internet isn't fast enough, or your Insurers would like you to have your backup server sited in a separate building from your server, then one option might be to locate your server in *OUR* premises.
 
Our link to the Internet is a high speed, un-contended, fibre link expandible up to 32Mb/s (faster than the fastest broadband) in *BOTH* directions (broadband is only fast into your building, and slow back out to the Internet).
 
If this is of interest to you, please contact the Calico UK team and ask about Colocation.
