LiteSpeed Web Server Update

We're very pleased to announce that we have updated our fleet of Web Hosting servers to version 5.2.3 of the LiteSpeed Web Server software! This is described as a "Feature Enhancements & Bug Fixes" update, which includes:

  • NEW FEATURE Built-in WordPress brute force protection.
  • NEW FEATURE Improved cache engine with capability to selectively drop certain query string value pairs.
  • IMPROVEMENT Updated cPanel and Plesk integration with support for PHP 7.2.
  • IMPROVEMENT Updated WHM Plugin to v2.2.4.2.
  • BUGFIX Fixed a bug in mod_security engine related to RBL lookup.
  • BUGFIX Enabled SSL session ticket support for Apache vhost by default.

This update will be of particular use to WordPress users, as it automatically deals with attacks targetting the wp-login.php and xmlrpc.php pages, preventing the need for plugins, .htaccess rules or other solutions. Details about exactly how it works can be found here.

We hope that this update brings you a smoother hosting experience! 

In the pipeline is another update, to our database servers, MariaDB, which will involve moving from version 10.1 to 10.2, with the highlights of the release being:

  • Improved InnoDB performance.
  • UNION ALLs can now be executed without a temporary table.

Everything is working as expected

I was looking for a simple syncthing server and didn't need anything fancy. I found Ethernet servers on server hunter and chose them because of their low price and good reviews. I had access to my server within a few minutes. It was easy for me to change the ubuntu to Centos and everything is working as expected.

Great service overall thus far

Three reasons I decided to try out the service: I heard and subsequently saw that the prices were great, it is very hard to beat those unmanaged special offer prices. I heard that the service was reliable, so far so good. It's only been a week, but I hope that it will continue to be reliable as I use it more. I heard that the support is excellent, and I have to agree. Great service overall thus far.

The networks are top of the line

Great upload and download speeds, apt-get updating is a breeze. The only mishaps was on my end, ssh had some weird buffer lag (sometimes unresponsiveness) that has to do with my connection with my isp. Just make sure your connection stable and everything should work just fine. The networks are top of the line.

Nothing but a joyful experience

Been with them for a week and the transition from old hosting to ethernetserver has been nothing but a joyful experience. Setting up new vps, networking is like a breeze. All set up by george and nothing to worry about really.
