MySQL 5.6.27 installed on all servers
As of this week, MySQL 5.6.27 has been installed on all our servers.
When considering server software updates, we always try to balance between providing the newest technologies, ensuring the security of the services we offer, and providing enough time to customers to deal with software related matters, in case their site software is not compatible. The security of our servers is a top priority - in case a critical software vulnerability is found that may affect the security of the...

PHP 5.5 available on all servers
Following our policy to provide the most recent server technologies which we consider stable enough for production environment, PHP 5.5 is now available on all our servers. Customers can now choose between PHP 5.5 and PHP 5.3 as default PHP interpreter for their accounts.
We are well aware that PHP 5.3 is no longer supported by PHP developers. However, according to our analysis PHP 5.3 still does not pose a security threat to hosting servers. That's why we decided that we will k...

PHP 5.4 available to all customers
Following several months of preparation and gradual implementation, PHP 5.4 is now available on all our servers.

We consider that PHP 5.4 is the latest branch that is stable and secure enough to be used on a shared hosting server.

We will continue our efforts to provide to our customers the most recent te...

Improved disk systems on all servers
For the past months, our engineers were working on a substantial upgrade of the disk systems on our servers. As of today, besides the RAID6 disk array, all our servers have solid state disks (SSD) as well. The I/O operations are balanced between the SSD and the RAID array, and most intensive operations run on the SSD. This significantly improves the overall system performance, and we believe that this brings the level of our hosting services even higher.
