27th December 2000

Firewall.cx 27/12/2000The Firewall.cx website idea starts to take form ... but is only online for a few hours per day via a 56k dialup connection :)

1st January 2001

Firewall.cx 1/1/2001Still trying to find a suitable "look" for the site, even tried one of them "make a site in 5 min" websites, but it didn't quite look the way it was suppose to!

 

 

16th April 2001

Firewall.cx 16/4/2001 The site finally gets its official layout and now looks somewhat decent. Hosted now on one of Chris's NetWare servers, connected to a 64K ISDN line, it was adequate for the amount of visitors it was receiving!

A few weeks down the track, the line was upgraded to a 128K ISDN and was generating 1,5 Gigs of traffic per month! Firewall.cx's potential was clear from the very start:)

30th October 2001

Firewall.cx 30/10/2001 Firewall.cx's menu gets updated and some small modifications are done on the top section of the welcome page.

Around June 2001 the site moves from Australia to the US due to the large amount of traffic, which is around 3,3 Gigs a month. This relocation reduces down time and increases the download speeds for everyone!

 

10th September 2002

Firewall.cx 10/9/2002  Firewall.cx stops using frames as the whole site is converted to PHP scripting language so users now get dynamically created pages.

This gives the site's layout greater flexibility and along with the code clean up, ensures faster loads. Also, the new PHP Poll is added giving us the ability to have high quality online polls!
