Managed Linux hosting on cPanel & WHM 11.44 or Plesk 12, with PHP 5.5 by default and 5.6 selectable per directory. Four facilities, and you choose which one holds the data.
PHP-FPM and OPcache · nginx 1.6 · MariaDB 10.0 · Varnish 4
Provisioned in about ninety seconds. The invitations take rather longer.
Paper Lantern is the default theme on new accounts, and x3 is still installed for anyone who has spent eight years learning where everything is. Plesk 12 on the machines that would rather have it.
Both of them will still make you a zip of public_html, which remains the most used feature we host.
5.5 is the default, with OPcache compiled in and PHP-FPM in front of it. 5.6 is selectable per directory, so the part of the application that is ready can move before the part that is not.
APC has been removed. It had been quietly ignoring you for about a year.
mod_lsapi across the Apache fleet, nginx 1.6 in front where it earns its keep, and LiteSpeed for accounts that arrived with an .htaccess nobody wants to rewrite. Varnish 4, Redis and Memcached on all three.
CloudLinux underneath, with LVE and CageFS, so a neighbour’s bad afternoon stays a neighbour’s.
No bundled toolbar, no partner software, no album. September made this worth saying on the home page. There is nothing to remove, so there has been no need to write the tool that removes it.
The first figure is counted from the moment this page arrived; the other three we simply know. The heaviest minute on the network this year was a Sunday evening in March, and it was one photograph, taken on a telephone that had been put in that hand on purpose.
Written here rather than in a welcome e-mail, because you will want to know before you move rather than after.
MariaDB 10.0 is the default for new databases and MySQL 5.6 stays exactly where it is. Both take the same connection string, so nothing in your code has to know which one answered.
MySQL Governor stops one account’s slow query from becoming everyone’s slow query.
Every certificate on the network was reissued in April and the old ones revoked, and you did not have to ask for either. SSLv3 was switched off in October and is not coming back.
OpenSSL is now patched on a schedule that assumes we will be doing it again.
REST over HTTPS, JSON in and out, one key per account. The SOAP and WSDL endpoints published for last year’s enterprise pilot still answer, so we remain SOA-ready.
Nobody has fetched the WSDL since the week we announced it.
Y Combinator applications close twice a year and both weeks show up on our graphs before they show up anywhere else.
We keep the provisioning queue short in those two weeks, and we would rather you found the slow query on the Monday than in front of the room.
Staging subdomains, one per account, not indexed and not counted against you.
It has been an eventful year for other people’s servers. These are the imports we are currently running.
| Coming from | What comes across |
|---|---|
| Code Spaces | There is nothing to import and no process that pretends otherwise. If a copy exists somewhere that was not reachable from the same account, bring us that and we will help you put it back up. |
| BurstNET | Whole-disk images over rsync while the machine is still answering. We have done enough of these this year that the process is dull, which is the correct condition for a migration. |
| Arvixe | cPanel account transfers, unchanged. The ones arriving since October need nothing from us except somewhere quieter to be. |
| BigRock | Domains move on the auth code, and we will host the site through the sixty days the registrar makes everyone wait. |

Last year’s page, with the notes from the SSH rollout, is still up at 2013. Status is posted on a host that is deliberately not on this network.
