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!

Goodbye PHP4

Funio is saying “Goodbye” to PHP4

PHP4 is getting old… cPanel recently announced that it will no longer support PHP4, so Funio will be following the trend in the next few weeks. We want to keep a stable and solid infrastructure, and the removal of PHP4 participates to this desire.

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 [...]

System Update: Added Security Through LFD

Funio’s infrastructures team is continuously improving the quality of the service offered to our customers through different measures, which includes server security. Since we wish to keep you informed on new Funio developments, we wish to let you know that we have decided to implement a new security module on all our shared hosting servers.

Login Failure Daemon (LFD) is a module that provides security tools that allows, in part,  the blocking of certain web attacks, as well as authentication [...]

System Update: Added Security Through ModSecurity

On Tuesday March 20th 2012, we finalized the implementation of a module called mod_security on all our Panelbox shared hosting servers. This module, known for its efficiency, allows the filtering of requests made on our web servers based on preestablished security rules.

These filters allow in part to protect you from known security vulnerabilities in certain scripts and web applications. When an action included in one of your web pages in your hosting account corresponds to one of these blocking rules, the operations performed by [...]

Funio’s 1st month online! (Part 3/3)

Last January 16th, Funio took over the domain management systems, hosting infrastructures and customer service. Today, this transition which is not always very easy, is ongoing. We have faced many challenges in the last month, but our team has dedicated itself to the task and has been able to catch up with the accumulated lateness that was due to a high volume of requests. We see today that our efforts have borne fruit.

Here is the 3rd article out of [...]
