Managed Linux hosting since 1996
cPanel & WHM 11.54, or Plesk 12.5 if that is the one you know. HTTP/2 on every domain, and a machine in the city you picked.
Specification. PHP 5.6 by default with PHP 7.0 selectable from December, MySQL 5.7 or MariaDB 10.1, Redis, Varnish 4.1 and Memcached, on CloudLinux 7.
Provisioned in about ninety seconds, which is well inside the time it takes to settle on the typeface.
cPanel & WHM 11.54 with Paper Lantern on every new account. Plesk 12.5 on the machines that prefer it: the login screen says Odin now, and everything behind it is where you left it.
5.6 with OPcache is the default. 7.0 goes on in December and will be selectable per directory, so the half of the application that is ready can move without waiting for the half that is not.
nginx 1.9.5 with http_v2_module across the fleet, and LiteSpeed 5 with LSCache in front of the accounts whose .htaccess is load-bearing. RFC 7540 was published in May and we were finished with it in June.
No bundled toolbar, no partner software, and no icon appearing in the corner to offer you an upgrade you had not asked about. There is nothing to dismiss, so we have never had to write the part that dismisses it.
CloudLinux 7 with LVE and CageFS on the shared fleet, so a neighbour’s bad afternoon stays a neighbour’s. CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 14.04 on a server of your own. Redis, Varnish 4.1 and Memcached sit in front of the origin on all of them.
REST over HTTPS for the whole account, one key, JSON in and out. The WSDL is still served, unchanged; the requests for it come from two monitoring checks and, each January, one auditor.
Application week
Both Y Combinator deadlines appear on our provisioning graph before they appear anywhere else, and the pages that go up in those weeks are usually a headline and a paragraph.
That is a shape this network serves extremely well. Staging subdomains come with the account, are not indexed, and are not counted against you.
The transfers we are running most often this year, and what actually arrives in each case.
| Coming from | What comes across |
|---|---|
| Verio | Sites that have been in the same place since the nineties. We take a copy over rsync while the old one is still answering, and nothing is switched until you say so. |
| Site5 | cPanel account transfers, unchanged, mailboxes included. Nothing about one of these has ever needed explaining afterwards, which is the whole point. |
| ServInt | Whole VPS images. If it booted there it boots here, and the ones arriving this year have needed nothing from us except somewhere quieter to be. |
| Sentora | There is no transfer format between the two panels, so we rebuild the accounts from the databases and the vhost files by hand. It takes an afternoon and it is part of the move. |
corvus now exists as a container image. Nobody has logged into it since the virtualisation and its uptime figure means nothing, but we go on publishing it.
The fax line is retained. Two of our compliance frameworks list it as an accepted channel for certain notices, and neither has been revised since we asked.
The heaviest single object on this network in February was a photograph of a dress. The argument it caused in this office ran to an entire afternoon and was not settled.
