Posted by Vincentas G on 25 September 2012 03:55 PM
As per our completed tests, we have found that suPHP makes shared hosting servers "laggy" and the performance is not that great having other engines installed, also it is not supported anymore. This is a notice that we will start to remove suPHP engine from HOST1PLUS shared hosting servers and will make the necessary updates. By removing suPHP we also will perform and many other updates and those are:
  • Apache service update to 2.4.x
  • MySQL update to 5.5.x
  • Dovecot
  • Exim
  • FTP service
  • ...and other services that we haven't mentioned.
The downtime for each of the server can be from 5 to 20 minutes. The schedule is made these times:
Wolf server 20:00 (GMT), 27.09.2012
Ox server 20:00 (GMT), 04.10.2012
Bear server 20:00 (GMT), 08.10.2012
Falcon server 20:00 (GMT), 10.10.2012
Tiger server 20:00 (GMT), 15.10.2012

Everything should remain the same, only newer versions will be installed with faster php handlers including newer version of DirectAdmin. If you will see any errors or misconfigurations of your websites, please report to us by submitting the ticket and we fix this the issues immediately.

Posted by Vincentas G on 04 February 2012 03:29 PM

We will be updating all of our servers to php version 5.3 next week starting Monday (06/02/2012).
There might be some php applications that are written specifically for 5.2.x or even 4.x versions.

Most of the publicly availabe applications such as WordPress, Joomla and others support php version 5.3.

If you have custom code websites written for php <= 5.2, please use this link (http://support.host1plus.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/665/16/how-to-migrate-from-php-52-to-php-53) for guidance for updating your code to that compatible with php 5.3.

Please note that this will affect shared hosting servers.

If you don't know if your code is compatible or not, we will be announcing the server updating process on this page: http://support.host1plus.com/

When you see that a server which you are on has been updated, please check your website and report any issues through our regular support channels (live chat or the ticket system) and we will help you solve any incompatibilities.
