2006 was a very busy year for the Usayd Corporation, most significantly the merger with Younis Server Enterprise which actually took place in the last week of 2005. Of course there have been some downfalls this year too, some aspirations are yet to be met, however there have been some surprising developments. Lets take a look at the statistics:

Visitors

The rise in visitors from 2005 -> 2006 was huge, with 2006 receiving an average of 2000 visitors per day which was on a continual rise until half way through October where there was a drop in activity from the company.

Bandwidth

YSE has been the basis for all major bandwidth consuming activity so its unsurprising that 250,000 MB were used in 2006, an increase of about 200% from 2005. Something in the average of 1GB transfer per day.

This leads on to the two major projects of 2006:

Downloads

The downloads section was introduced as an experimental project to test out just how useful having a file storage dump would be. It turns out that the idea was extremely successful, providing only 50 files we have had a massive 6000 downloads in 2006 alone, which comes to an average of 120 downloads per file.

Surprisingly the most popular download was the Advent T9 driver pack compiled by the Usayd Corporation, which boasted a huge 1600 downloads, almost a third of the total downloads with a full five star rating and has reached approximately the 14th most popular result for an Advent T9 google search.

As the downloads section was intentionally used to help people with HP iPaq RX3715 filestore issues, the second and third most popular files are ROM images for this device, and fourth is the Bluetooth headphones (AD2P) drivers.

In fifth place is the specialised Islamic Praise plugin by the Usayd Corporation, which has been quite popular for WordPress users. There are plans to further this project though the work is spread over a huge area. As the project is open source, any contributions whether financial or physical (programming etc.) would be gratefully accepted.

Hijri Date

This project was again rather experimental, however it has proven to have been the landmark for 2006. The Hijri Date service is currently used by thousands of websites internationally and has boasted a huge popularity. It is unfortunate that the Hijri Date wizard was actually finished back in April 06, however it has still not been made public due to hosting problems. The future is looking bright though!

Dedicated Hosting

The Usayd Corporation have been moving their sites over to dedicated hosting. This process has been slowed by a few issues however we are aiming for stable ground by February 2007.

We recommend Fuzzy Hosting for excellent hosting:

Keep your eyes open for some new developments in 2007!
