Juli 2008

After the launch last month quit a few changes have  been made. As this is  just the beginning of more additions and changes, we will start of Juli with:

• Added an IPv6 subnet calculator. This calculator is created by Rhys Koedijk as a studyproject for Wellington Institute of Technology. Minor changes to the code have been made by Subnetonline to support Internet Explorer browsers and by Rhys Koedijk to correct the code to further prevent subnetting beyond /64. (2 Juli)
• Changed the online DIG tool and allowed for more selectable options, like lookup type and free choice name server. (13 Juli)

June 2008

Launch of our new and improved website. We have completely redesigned SubnetOnline.com. This has resulted in several major changes:

• The look (cosmetics) en navigation have been altered after 9 years. Yes, i know, it was about time. The template is loosely based on the Orange Sunset template of D. Carter at carterdesign. (9 June)
• We have moved from static HTML pages with some CGI, Perl, JS and PHP code to a completely PHP/CSS driven site with some JS elements, including Central Content Management. (9 June)
• Our code is now fully complaint with W3C XHTML1.0 Transitional standard for the most part of the website. All CSS styles are W3C CSS 3.0 compliant. (9 June)
• We have reprogrammed almost all of our network tools (Ping, Traceroute, NSLookup etc) from Perl to PHP. This has resulted in a better integration with our website and the possibility to unlock more features. (9 June)
• We now have our own internal search option, so we no longer have to rely on Google for this. (9 June)
• The money generated through the Google Ads have allowed us to upgrade our hostingplan. This should benefit the performance of the website and it's tools and also allow for future expansion with even more online tools. (9 June)
• We added a port checker, that allows you to check if a port/listener on an internetfacing device or host is open/reachable. Besides this new addition we also added three new IPv6 tools. (18 June)
• We started a Mobile Beta to publish some of our IPv4 Tools on a web layout that is suitable for viewing using a PDA, SmartPhone or other mobile device, capable of browsing the internet. (23 June)
• Our Online Ping tool (IPv4, IPv6 and Mobile Ping) allows for more user selectable options, like TTL, Packet Size (MTU) and ping count. (30 June)
