1. Holiday Hours

Monday, July 4th is Independence Day here in the U.S., and the NetMAX Team will be closing down to observe the holiday and grill burgers with our families and such. Because of this, NetMAX Support will not be available on Monday, July 4th -- but normal support hours will resume on Tuesday, July 5th.

Because of these holiday hours, any orders received after 2pm on Friday, July 1st will not be shipped until Tuesday, July 5th.

Sorry for any inconvenience, and have a happy holiday!

2. Setting up Secure SSL Web Sites in NetMAX

This month's tips and tricks article covers a popular question we get at NetMAX Support: how do I setup a secure web site using Secure Socket Layers (SSL) with NetMAX?

• Step One: Choose the IP address for the secure web site.
  Each secure web site must have its own unique IP address. If your NetMAX already is hosting more than one web site, you will need to add an IP address to the appropriate network interface.
• Step Two: Set up the domain for the secure web site.
• Step Three: Create the host name for this domain.
• Step Four: Create and/or install a Digital Certificate (SSL).
• Step Five: Configure the web site.

The detailed instructions for each of these steps can be found in the Support section of the NetMAX web site at:

3. Cybernet Systems Sponsors the NetMAX Desktop Project

Cybernet Systems, the parent company of NetMAX, has officially announced that it is sponsoring the NetMAX Desktop Project -- the open-source development group that produces the full-featured NetMAX Desktop package. This committment ensures not only the continued development of the free Live-CD NetMAX Desktop, but the continued development of NetMAX commercial software to support and expand the functionality of the NetMAX Desktop when used in conjunction with NetMAX Servers.
