Happy Friday, Happy Katie, Happy Ireland, Happy Blacknight
Well it’s Friday so I think that immediately puts most people in a good mood. Couple that with the amazing win by Katie Taylor yesterday and you can’t help but feel proud to be Irish. So we’ve gone and done things the Blacknight way and want to say a huge congratulations to her and let’s [...]

Don’t Get Stuck In A Rut
To celebrate the visit of President Obama to Ireland we thought we’d run a “wee” offer on hosting and domains No prizes for guessing where we got our inspiration for the graphic from!

Not RAID itself which means simply Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, but the different types of RAID array that can exist. [...]
Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously
I’d like to think that we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Sure – hosting is a serious business, but there’s nothing wrong with having a bit of a laugh from time to time – even if its from a competitor! One of our competitors posted a link to a YouTube video today that was quite [...]

Thanks for the product name feedback
A couple of months ago (time flies!) I was asking people both here and on LinkedIn for product name suggestions. I was expecting some feedback, but I was totally unprepared for the sheer volume of replies I got. Wow! Thanks for taking the time to exercise your grey matter and help us out! Some of [...]
Will it all go pop?
A lot of our clients share a common trait. They are confident that their idea will succeed. It’s great to see so much optimism, but people shouldn’t take themselves too seriously! Have a look at this (pump up the volume if you can!): With thanks to Jimmy for sharing the link! Edit: Pointed to update [...]
