Greetings all,
Welcome to our new clients!
Database management enhancements
If you've found managing your databases a little unwieldy,
especially if you have multiple databases and users; I have some
good news! We've greatly improved the database management
interface so you'll be able to see your user/permission setup at
a glance.
- Log into your ThinkHost
account
- Select "manage databases" from the left hand
menu
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page
- Click on any of the "edit permissions" links
All of your databases and permissions will be displayed - you
can use this feature to make multiple changes across all your
databases with just a few clicks!
Have a good weekend!

The
Lock Block® Padlock Protector
Whilst significant advances continue to occur
with electronic and computerised security products, the poor old
padlock, which is still as popular as ever, has been left behind
and can be easily cut in seconds. This patented stainless steel
device prevents access by bolt cutters, hammers or leverage
attacks, acting as a deterrent to would be thieves, looking for
a quick target.

Lock Block® Padlock Protector
