PHP 5.3 and 5.4 now supported

Last June, we announced that we were no longer supporting PHP4. Following the announcement, many customers requested a deadline for the support of PHP 5.3 and 5.4. We had already planned putting more time in testing these versions on our Panelbox platform, and see if we could simultaneously support 5.2 (the current version), alongside 5.3 and 5.4. The testing period is now complete, and we have finalized the integration of the latest versions of PHP on our servers!

Indeed, there are risks in keeping using PHP4 that is not being updated anymore; risks such as security flaws and performance issues. Our customers can easily become victims [...]

Funio No Longer Sends Out Paper Invoices

Funio will no longer send paper invoices

The time has come where Funio stops sending invoices by standard mail. Very few customers still had this option active. In addition to not being eco-friendly, this added a heavy administrative task load that was becoming harder to keep up to date on.

Evidently, it is possible to print a paper version of your invoices by clicking on the “print” link when you receive your email notices, or when you view invoices [...]
