CIX International » Devising Delicious Designs

About

CIX International is a future website. It will be the home of CIX (pronounced siks) International, an online-based company, specializing in web and graphic design.

As the new homepage of FP Interactive, it will have some form of hosting service, likely to be called CIX Hosting. In addition, the website's small staff has announced both a file uploading service and a short URL service to be introduced in the near future.

CIX International, which specializes in website content and design, may offer additional design services for a fee. The website's designated release date is March 28th, 2009. CIX uses Yahoo! Webhosting (Yahoo.com) to host their website.

Hosting

CIX International shares their large amount of bandwidth and disk space with various other users that would like to start their own websites. All of their hosting services are offered free as of May 8th, 2009. Their hosting features many things that other small, free hosts do not offer. These features include unlimited bandwidth, and unlimited disk space. They also offer SSL secured webpages, which must be pre-approved by them.

A few areas are also lacking in their hosting. Cix Webhosting doesn't offer .htaccess use, or true domain support. Hostees are required to either mask their URLs, or, if they cannot afford a domain name, can create a subdomain, such as sitename.cix.cc.

Shortr

Shortr is a service that was introduced by CIX International in early 2009. It was created with NetXeo, which also offer their own short URL service. Their URL service shrinks URLs into a URL simaler to http://s.cix.cc/?t7f7na. It requires no sign-up, only the desired URL to be shortened, and a spam test. It doesn't allow customization of URLs.

History

The old Famous Penguins logo right before it became FP Hosting and later CIX International.

CIX International was previously known as FP Hosting. Although FP Hosting was the name it was referred to by, the implied name for the ownership company was FP Interactive.

FP Interactive wasn't always called by this alias, either. At one point in time famouspenguins.biz was called simply Famous Penguins, and this history allows for the domain name to make sense. Famous Penguins started out as a small fansite for Club Penguin, an MMORPG game that allows users to create their own penguin avatar and chat with one another. Famous Penguins featured users with rare items and unique styles, but the criteria for being dubbed a "famous penguin" changed later on, until the "famous penguin pages/list" concept was ditched altogether. It was hosted by Piczo, and later hosted by Yahoo! Geocities.

Contact

CIX International supplies no location for their business other than a city and state, nor do they supply a telephone number. They do, however, supply a support chat by Website Alive on their website, in additional to their general support e-mail address:
