Portland, Indiana (7-13-23) The Commercial Review’s new website launched Tuesday afternoon in order to ensure continued service to subscribers.

Plans have been in the works for a new website for months but it was not expected to go live this week. The change was part of a shift to ePublishing’s platform after it bought out former web hosting service 1up! Software, which was based in Kokomo.

Ray Cooney, editor and publisher for The Graphic Printing Company said –

“Tuesday’s launch of the new website was a surprise. It was hectic, especially during the height of Jay County Fair week, and there have been glitches, but ultimately the goal was to make sure the website stayed live and our subscribers had access to the newspaper online.”

Tuesday afternoon ePublishing notified Cooney that the 1up! hosting systems was experiencing stability issues, which was leaving the website in danger of crashing. In order to avoid losing data, the decision was made to shift to the new website early.
