PHP 5.3
We have updated all servers to PHP 5.3.10 for performance and security improvements. If you encounter script errors, please update whichever software you are running to the latest version. For developers: here is a list of changes between PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.2. If your custom software encounters errors, this is likely why.
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.
Recent Downtime
We have resolved the recent downtime issues and thank you for your patience.
PHP Pear Packages
As of last night, PHP pear packages can be automatically downloaded and installed simply by including them within a script. In other words, simply using a package in a file will cause the missing package/module to be installed, no need to use the installer in cPanel.
