4th of July 2016 holiday hours

Our business offices will be closed on Monday, July 4 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 business day (i.e., Tuesday), and telephone support (via callbacks) will be available only for urgent problems.

PHP 7.0.7, 5.6.22, and 5.5.36

The PHP developers recently released versions 7.0.7, 5.6.22 and 5.5.36 that fix several bugs. We’ve upgraded the PHP 7.0, 5.6 and 5.5 series on our servers as a result.

These changes should not be noticeable, but in the unlikely event you experience any trouble, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Price change in September 2016

Effective September 1, 2016, the price of our “Silver Hosting” and “Basic Hosting / Gold Hosting” plans for existing customers will increase by $1.00 per month.

(The “Plus Hosting”, “Business Hosting” and “Add-On Hosting” plan prices will not change. New customers are already paying the new rates, as shown on our plans page.)

This will not affect all customers immediately. If you prepay annually for hosting, the price change won’t take effect until your current prepayment is used up, which will be sometime between September 2016 and August 2017. In addition, if you’ve opened an account with us in the last two years, the price increase won’t take effect until you’ve been with us a full two years, even if you’re paying month-to-month.

We’ll directly notify each affected customer by e-mail before any price increase takes effect, of course.
