The PHP developers recently released versions 5.4.41, 5.5.25 and 5.6.9 that fix several bugs. We’ve upgraded PHP 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 on our servers as a result.
In addition, ionCube Loader has been updated to the current version 5.0.6.
These changes should not be noticeable, but in the unlikely event you experience any trouble, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Our business offices will be closed on Monday, May 25 to observe the US legal holiday. As always, we’ll provide same-day support for time-sensitive issues via our ticket and e-mail systems. However, questions that aren’t time-sensitive (including most billing matters) may not be answered until the next day, and telephone support (via callbacks) will be available only for urgent problems.
One issue we (unfortunately) have lots of experience with is fixing a WordPress site after we discover it’s been “hacked”. But while it’s one thing to try to clean a Web site after it got infected on our servers, it’s essentially impossible to try to clean a Web site that was infected on another server and is being transferred to our servers.
We have a page with more information, including:
The authors of the Mailman mailing list software we provide for customers have recently released versions 2.1.19 and 2.1.20 to fix several bugs.
We’ve upgraded the Mailman software on our servers from version 2.1.18 to 2.1.20 as a result.
Users of Mailman lists shouldn’t notice any changes, but as always, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or see any problems.
If you use an SSL certificate on a site you host with us, we now offer more control over the SSL/TLS protocol versions your site uses.
Old protocol versions, including SSL version 3 (“SSLv3”) and TLS version 1.0, are no longer considered secure. You can now disable these to improve security, at the expense of preventing some older, less-secure browsers from making SSL or TLS connections. Some credit card companies are starting to require that SSLv3 and TLS 1.0 both be disabled.
