Recently we have been experiencing a lot of downtime because our hosting company Rackspace is having difficulties with their WC1.DFW1 data center, which we use to host ImHalal.com. We would like to sincerely apologize for the latency this issue has caused since it’s extremely important for us to provide you a search service that is reliable and consistent.

After an extremely interactive and long meeting we have decided to launch I’mHalal 3.0 in private beta which means that only a limited number of users will be able to make use of our search service before we launch I’mHalal globally. We want to revolutionize the search market by introducing several community based features I included in my last blog post. The technology we want to implement in three significant steps to partially power our search algorithm is unique and requires some extensive testing by our private beta testers first before we launch globally.

Since we appreciate the support and feedback of our early adopters we’ll give everyone that applies for participation in our private beta project in the first two weeks of March guaranteed access to make use of the I’mHalal search engine.

We are going into private beta to be able to accelerate the development of I’mHalal significantly and interact more actively with our users. Certain measures will be taken in our private beta stage to improve our scalability opportunities and we’ll add a few additional hosting servers to improve the speed of the world’s first and leading search engine that aims to attract more Muslims to the world wide web. Another essential reason for us to go into private beta is that we’re going to be testing some revolutionary technology we want to be discrete about.

We’re excited about the possibilities and opportunities this particular strategic move opens up and we hope you will join our private beta launch and continue supporting us by providing us your opinion, feedback and support.

With best regards,
Reza Sardeha on behalf of the I’mHalal Team
