We've removed the restriction on the number of addon domains you can add on our Master package. A number of clients made us aware the limit of 15 domains was very restrictive and they needed much more.
We're pleased to announce you can now add as many domains as you like! All existing accounts have also been upgraded so you can start adding domains right away.
A number of clients have asked if we have ever considered installing Softaculous instead of Installatron. We’ve been testing Softaculous on our development servers to see if it’s worth deploying and we’re pleased to announce it has now been installed on all shared and reseller servers!
This has been discussed in our private forums and we have decided we will not be removing Installatron and both will run side-by-side, however we won’t be creating our WHMCS auto-installer for Installatron, this will now be handled by Softaculous.
Softaculous is an auto installer for cPanel and DirectAdmin. Unlike other auto installers Softaculous is much faster, well designed and it installs all scripts in just ONE STEP. The creators of Softaculous are constantly adding new scripts to their installer, at the time of writing this post there are currently 136 scripts that can be automatically installed.
Softaculous also handles software updates and can import existing installs. To view a list of scripts that can be automatically installed and updated, click here. To access simply click the ‘Softaculous Installer’ button within cPanel.
One of the most common requests from our customer survey earlier this year was Los Angeles based servers. Once again we’ve given you exactly what you want and LA based servers are now online.
We are able to provide shared and reseller hosting services from our reliable Los Angeles datacentre. Simply choose your locations on the order form and your account will be instantly setup.
We now offer three locations to choose from. Our UK based servers give great response time and performance for European visitors, Dallas is perfect for Central and Eastern America while our Los Angeles servers provide brilliant results for Western America and Asia.
We are always looking to implement new features and services, if you have anything you’d like to see please feel free to contact us through our support desk.
Our customer survey has helped highlight some areas of our service that need improvement and we’ve already begun to make changes starting with our shared packages.
A lot of comments were regarding our bandwidth quotas. Our packages were originally set with our old hardware and network in mind meaning the quotas were not overly generous. We’ve now raised the bandwidth on all shared plans and the disk space on our Junior plan.
Our Junior package used to include 1GB diskspace and 10GB bandwidth, it now includes 3GB disk space and 30GB monthly bandwidth. The Senior package now includes 100GB bandwidth instead of 50GB and the Master package now includes a whopping 200GB monthly bandwidth.
All existing customers should now be on the new plans, if you see any discrepancies within cPanel, please submit a ticket and we will take a look.
We’ll be making other changes based on your feedback in the coming weeks so if you’ve not yet completed the customer survey, please consider doing so to help us serve you better.
cPanel has now been upgraded to 11.25 on all servers. This bring a whole range of new features including the ability to edit DNS zones right from cPanel, an enhanced AJAX interface and more.
Performance
cPanel/WHM 11.25 implements some major changes throughout our mailing system. We’ve adjusted the Exim configuration to allow a single process to listen on multiple ports, thereby reducing RAM and CPU usage. In addition to this, we’ve also improved quota lookup efficiency.
RoundCube webmail can now operate using the lightweight SQLite database engine. This gives each email account its own SQLite database, and assigns ownership of the RoundCube process to the cPanel account, for easier process accounting.
Version 11.25 also updates RoundCube, SquirrelMail, and Mailman to their most current versions.
Security
We know that security is important to you. That’s why we’ve added numerous security features to cPanel/WHM 11.25. Our new security token system attempts to prevent cross-site request forgery (XSRF) attacks by appending URLs with a session token in the form of cpsess<number>. When this feature is enabled, absolute URLs are no longer allowed. This new feature helps to ensure a safe environment for you and your customers.
Refined User Interface
We’ve revamped the cPanel home page with even cleaner HTML, and reduced the number of HTTP requests the page sends, resulting in shorter load times. Plus, we optimized the CSS used by cPanel, to speed page loading throughout the entire cPanel interface.
We’ve also overhauled one of cPanel’s most frequently accessed areas: the Email Accounts page. It now combines all the major functionality involved with email accounts into a single page: you can add, search, sort, and delete accounts, as well as change passwords and quotas, all without leaving the page. With its clean new design, this page provides a faster, more intuitive way to manage your email.
cPanel/WHM 11.25 comes equipped with an improved editor for MX (mail exchanger) entries. This new editor allows you to configure multiple mail exchangers with the same priority, for balancing the load on your mail servers.
We have now installed Litespeed on all shared and reseller servers.
Litespeed is an Apache web server replacement that is proven to server web pages up to 9 times faster and dynamic content up to 2 times faster than Apache.
You should have no compatibility issues with the change and your website should still function as normal – just much faster!
As far as we can tell, we are the first UK hosting company to adopt Litespeed!
We have now added Installatron to all cPanel servers.
Once again, you spoke and we listened. A number of clients commented on how slow Fantastico are at releasing updates which often left your websites running out of date software.
Installatron is a much more up-to-date one click installer with an excellent development and support team behind it. This will also allow us to create custom installers for software that isn’t already added. We’ve already created a WHMCS auto-installer allowing you to install the popular billing software within minutes.
Let us know what you think, do you prefer Installatron over Fantastico?
We have just released Installatron on our Plesk servers. This is a very powerful auto-installer, very much like Fantastico.
This will allow our Plesk clients to install hundreds of popular scripts with just a few clicks, including b2evolution, Coppermine, CubeCart, Drupal, Joomla, MediaWiki, osCommerce, PHP-Nuke, PHPbb, WordPress and many many more.
To use Installatron, simply login to Plesk, click on the ‘Installatron’ button and follow the steps.
Firstly, we are now offering cPanel shared hosting for those that do not like Plesk.
The prices and package specs are pretty much the same, with cPanel having the addition of Fantastico, a one-click installer for over 100 applications, and RVSiteBuilder, an online website creator. More details can be found on our hosting page.
Secondly, we have launched a range of Managed Dedicated servers. Having EZPZ Hosting manage your own dedicated server gives you peace of mind that technicians with years of experience are taking care of your server.
Our Pro-Active management means you don’t even have to request that we perform a security audit, update the software or take a backup – we’re already doing it!
Whats more, every server comes with cPanel and 24/7 monitoring. Take a look at our dedicated server page for more information.
EZPZhosting.co.uk is proud to add Tomcat to one of the many applications we already support. In case you didn’t know, Tomcat is a Servlet and Java Server Pages container developed under the Jakarta Project at Apache. Tomcat implements the java servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP), providing an environment for Java code to run with our web server. One of the big things with Tomcat is you don’t have to run Apache web server to make use of it. Using Tomcat is as easy as uploading the unexploded war file in Plesk and EZPZ servers take care of the rest! Java Server Pages / Java Servlets code can be verified for compatibility by a program called Watchdog
