We were one of the first web hosting companies to recognize PHP as a superior server side scripting language, and offer it on our servers. Our servers now include the most recent, custom compiled version of PHP 4.4.8 and 5.2.5 with over 30 extended libraries, including the Zend Optimizer.

PHP MANAGER

Our proprietary, browser based PHP Manager controls over 40 global PHP configurations for each domain. Configuration settings include safe_mode, asp_tags, register_globals, session.auto_start, track_errors, magic_quotes_gpc, and many others. It also enables PHP to be set to parse regular HTML pages ending in .htm and .html as PHP scripts. This is useful when trying to get search engines to index dynamically created pages.

PHP5

PHP5 is enabled by default as a CGI binary using FastCGI for all files ending in .php5. It can also be enabled to run .php files on a per directory basis by using our PHP Manager.

SAFE_MODE

Our customized safe_mode configuration with safe_mode_gid and other executable restrictions runs differently that conventional safe_mode, as it has much less restrictions, but virtually the same level of security. It is especially tuned to allow file uploads, create directories, and perform image related exec() commands. Basically, you get the security of safe_mode but not the hassles normally associated with it. If absolutely needed, even our version of safe_mode can be disabled on a per domain basis from the PHP Manager.

MYSQL

We are currently running MySQL version 5.0.51 with InnoDB functionality. Our exclusive, customized version of phpMyAdmin includes the ability to instantly restore tables and databases from backup, perform SQL file inserts, advanced SQL queries, and much more. Accounts with Database Access can create and manage up to 300 databases with unique logins. All databases have direct access from remote hosts, and support most remote admin programs such as MySQLFront.
