We may occasionally ask questions in the channel pertaining to our products / services or any projects we’re working on to get your input. Your ideas are important to us and the #rootbsd channel will allow a great opportunity for beta testers to communicate with us real-time for any projects / products that are in development.

We look forward to chatting with you.  Feel free to stop by any time.  We encourage customers to continue submit support tickets at support@rootbsd.net for support issues, as the IRC channel will not be monitored for support.

Buildasearch.com is a new website that lets anyone quickly build their own customized search engine.  By signing up for a free account, users can quickly configure and customize their own search engine that can be used to search a predefined list of websites.

Besides just harvesting the power of big search engines, Buildasearch.com lets users easily customize the look and feel of their search engine.  An easy-to-use AJAX web interface allows users to tailor the search engine’s color scheme and logo to blend in with an existing website.  When it comes to integrating the search engine, a webmaster can either link to it on Buildasearch.com’s server or use a sample PHP API to include it on a standalone website.

Buildasearch.com is powered by a FreeBSD VPS provided by RootBSD.  “The RootBSD service has been excellent, and the Xen-powered VPS has handled our site’s load very well,” said Diego Montalvo, creator of Buildasearch.
