Our WHMCS auto-installer has now been upgraded to version 4.1.1.
Installing WHMCS couldn’t be easier, simply click ‘Installatron’ in your cPanel then click WHMCS. Simply enter your desired admin details and license key. Uploading files, changing permissions, creating the database and writing configuration files is done automatically.
We have removed Fantastico from all shared and reseller servers effective today.
Installatron, a Fantastico competitor, has been installed on all servers for the last few months and customer feedback has been that it is much preferred over Fantastico for a number of reasons.
As well as installing applications, Installatron can also handle the updates to newer versions.
If you have outgrown your shared or reseller plan or just prefer the extra flexability of your own server without the cost of a dedicated server, a VPS is the ideal upgrade. Your VPS will run in it’s own isolated environment and allows you to install your own software or server applications.
Your VPS server comes with it’s own dedicated resources with a guaranteed equal-share of CPU power and a predefined amount of RAM. You are also able to burst up to double your guaranteed RAM.
All servers also come with an easy to use yet comprehensive control panel, allowing you to reboot and reload your server in an instant.
For more information, click ‘VPS Servers‘ at the top of the page.
The Gumblar virus has caused a huge amount of damage to websites around the world. The virus steals passwords from FTP software such as Dreamweaver and Filezilla to upload a modified version of a webpage which would be used to infect other visitors PCs.
Regular virus scanners such as ClamAV would not pick up the threat as the virus isn’t actually uploaded to our servers. Therefore we’ve had to come up with another way to protect our clients.
With the new protection in place any files that are uploaded via FTP are scanned instantly for various keywords or phrases. If a threat is found a number of things will happen to secure your account -
If we do get notified of a client account being used in this way we will contact you and ask you to scan your PC with an updated virus scanner immediately.
If you have any questions, feel free to let us know.
As some of you may know, we run a fairly strict firewall which will automatically block your IP address for too many failed login attempts. This is to stop brute-force attempts against your cPanel, email and other areas of your account.
If your IP address is blocked this will result in the server blocking all requests from your address and making it appear as if the server is down. To rectify this we would normally require you to submit a support ticket, however we now have the facility to do this automatically.
If you find your IP is blocked, you can now remove your IP from the ‘My Products and Services’ section of the client area. If you are on a static IP you can also request that we whitelist your address to prevent further blocks.
We will also be creating a WHMCS module for resellers so their clients are also able to request removal and permanent whitelisting.
Our WHMCS autoinstallers have now been updated to version 4.0.2. You can now install the latest version with just a few clicks using Installatron in cPanel!
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 recently added the ability to receive SMS messages on certain actions. We currently have this enabled to send you a free SMS message if your client area password is changed, however we will soon be expanding this to overdue invoice notifications, cpanel password changes and much more.
To enable the notifications, add your mobile telephone number, in international format, to the ‘My Details’ page of your client area.
