Introducing CIPS
Introducing CIPS, the C9WS Computationally Intensive Processing System. A 26-core x64 elastic cloud open to all C9WS clients. CIPS is not a web hosting service in itself, but it is a lot of things – a distributed cloud computing platform, a powerful number-crunching tool, and a remotely accessible development/linux environment. It’s got almost the entire Debian repository installed, complete with X11 forwarding. All C9WS customers can log in – information is in your cPanel. Give it a try – hop on and do some development, crunch some data or just explore the Linux cloud. This is intended as a remotely-accessible general purpose Linux computing cloud as a service for our clients.
Alternate System Choices
We are happy to announce that we now offer several hosting environments to choose from.
In addition to our fan favorite cPanel-on-CentOS, we now offer a few non-Linux solutions. FreeBSD and OpenIndiana (essentially Solaris) are both now available. Please note that these systems are set up with developers in mind and offer little in the way of a control panel (meaning you won’t find cPanel there). You’ll need to be comfortable with doing most or all of your work via SSH.
For any developers who wish to move or create accounts under either of these systems, please contact support!
We are also able to set up simple accounts for code testing at no cost. As with all of our servers, a full development toolkit is available. For those of you using our Linux systems who simply wish to develop, but not serve content off of, our BSD/OpenIndiana systems, simply SSH in and log in with your existing C9WS credentials. You will be able to operate with a regular shell environment, though inbound network access is disabled.
Recent Downtime
We have resolved the recent downtime issues and thank you for your patience.
PHP 4.x End of Life
Starting July 1, 2011, we will be uninstalling PHP 4 outright from all C9WS dedicated and virtual servers. PHP 4 has had a good, long run, but it’s become such a security and maintenance problem to keep, that we’ve decided that it’s time to move on. Pretty much all web applications have moved to PHP 5.2 (if not PHP 5.3!), and we don’t think many people will be affected by this change. If you’ve been using PHP 4, you should update your scripts, and change your cPanel setting to PHP 5. For advanced users who have been piping individual scripts to PHP 4, you should update your path from /usr/bin/legacy/php4 to /usr/bin/php. Thank you for your understanding.
