CU*Answers Web Services has a planned maintenance window on Tuesday morning (5/15/2012) from 5:00am – 8:00am ET. Client websites and email services may experience intermittent downtime (10-15 minute intervals) during this window. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
CU*Answers Web Services offers shared website hosting. For those of us in the know, we understand what this means. But not everyone does.
Shared web hosting means we host many websites on one or more web servers connected to the Internet. Each individual website “sits” in its special place on the server, to keep it separate from other sites. This is generally the most economical option for hosting, as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance.
We keep the server secure. And we limit access to the server. But due to the nature of it being a shared resource on the public Internet, we cannot allow private data on this server.
If you have hosting needs that require private data capabilities, CU*Answers Network Services has some Virtual Private Server options.
The Internet is confusing. We admit it. There are so many different systems that work together to make the simple act of viewing a webpage work. We found this short little comic at Vladstudio that shows in really simple terms how it all works together.

Ars Technica has a report on the current web browser landscape as of March 2012.
Through Microsoft’s push of automatic updates as well as people buying new home PCs, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9 has picked up almost a whole percentage point of market share.
CU*Answers Web Services tracks web browsers statistics and tests our sites in the most recent versions of the main browsers. Currently we are testing with Internet Explorer 8 and 9, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. We also check sites in Internet Explorer 7, but we do not expect the site to look as good as in the other browsers. Currently all versions of Internet Explorer do not support some of the other features that Chrome and Firefox do.
The other takeaway from this report is that in the mobile browser space, Mobile Safari (which is similar to Google Chrome) is the clear leader.

We believe financial literacy is more than just book learning. It comes from the interactions Board members have with each other and with credit union teams. It comes with the confidence you gain from experience, education, and perseverance as a volunteer. That’s why we put together this video series on Financial Literacy.
