The future of My Yola is here

Hi everyone

Today we released a brand new version of My Yola (the page you see when you log in to Yola) as a Beta feature to a small percentage of our users.  We are incredibly excited about the changes, and I’m going to spend some time going through them, but first, just a couple of important notes:

  • It’s not perfect yet, but we wanted to make you part of the process, so we released it as a Beta feature which basically means we want you to help us make it better before we roll it out to all users.
  • This is a slow roll-out, meaning you might not be in our random group of users who see the new layout when you log in.  Please be patient — we want to make sure we get this right so we’re not going to make it live to 100% of users for a little while.

Now, on to the good stuff, an overview of the new My Yola Dashboard.  Below is a picture of what it looks like:Read More »The future of My Yola is here

Recent Yola outage: Here’s what happened

Yesterday was a very difficult day for Yola and our customers. Yola’s servers were attacked unexpectedly and maliciously by as yet unknown individuals and/or groups, bringing down all of our hosted websites as well as our service provider’s entire datacenter.

The thing Yola cares about most is providing a world class service to all our customers, and doing so consistently and reliably. When our servers are attacked, your website is attacked. We don’t take this lightly. We worked around the clock to bring the service back up, and talked to you in our customer community forum, Twitter, Facebook and email during the outage to answer your questions and keep you up-to-date.

We’re posting this information on our blog now to tell you what happened, what we’re going to do about it in the future, and, most importantly, to apologize. Regardless of the reasons, your website was down. Please know that however frustrated we were with the situation, we understand you were more so. We’re very sorry.

Here’s what happened and what we plan to do about it:
