Earlier this month, the PHP developers announced the release of versions 5.3.26 and 5.4.16 that fix several bugs. We’ve upgraded PHP 5.3 and 5.4 on our servers as a result.
In addition, the developers of Zen Guard Loader for PHP (previously known as “Zend Optimizer”) have released a version with PHP 5.4 compatibility, so our copies of PHP 5.4.16 now support that feature, too.
Finally, we’ve also updated the ionCube Loader PHP extension (which most of our customers don’t use) from version 4.4.0 to version 4.4.1.
These changes should be transparent to customers. In the unlikely event you experience any issues, don’t hesitate to let us know.
WordPress 3.5.2 was recently released, and as always, we’ve updated our WordPress one-click installer to automatically install the latest version for new WordPress sites.
If you’ve previously installed WordPress, you should upgrade it from within your WordPress Dashboard.

Beginning at 10:38 AM, the “web12” server experienced high load that made sites on that server slow (or intermittently return “503 errors”) for several minutes. The cause of this problem (a user running a process that caused extremely high disk usage) has been identified and resolved.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this problem caused.
Between 9:45 PM and 10:05 PM Pacific time June 2, the “web01” server (which also hosts our own www.tigertech.net Web site) stopped responding normally due to a Linux kernel problem, leading to some sites and mail accounts on the server being unavailable during this period.
The server was restarted and is now operating normally. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused.
