Was over at the Server and Network status board a few above here, and noticed, nothing since November 2012.  Have you guys gotten lazy posting outages?  Or has there truly been no major outage worthy of posting since Nov 2012?  Which is probably a record for any shared host...from my observation the latter might actually be the case (I haven't noticed anything).

Hey guys, yesterday noticed I couldn't send email anymore using Thunderbird setup for IMAP, after trying on a different connection (Laptop IMAP at work) and succeeding I'm guessing my ISP decided to block something recently.  A quick check of the Xfinity/Comcast website revealed nothing helpful about what they were doing so I'm wondering if HawkHost can be more helpful.  Has Hawkhost seen Comcast do anything funny with ports lately?  Any ideas for workarounds?  Thanks!

So I've had a Domain name hosted at Hawkhost, codesweep.com for some time now. Though the registrar was Namesecure.com. I decide that for Registrar GoDaddy was cheaper and codesweep.com was up for renewal soon, so let's transfer over there. No problem, I gather up all the pertinent info and am told in a few days Namesecure will release to GoDaddy.

So I just get home from a late night at the office, and check my email, nothing is working....hmmm...is it HawkHost, My Internet Provider (Comcast), or something else...this was answered really quickly when I tried visiting www.codesweep.com and got the GoDaddy parking page instead of my Blog...WTF?? I'm POSITIVE I told GoDaddy to keep my nameservers at Hawkhost the same...how long was my email down? How many people were bouncing back? Hopefully not too many...well a quick swap of the nameservers will slowly fix that but still....

Anyways not much Hawkhost could have done about that, but had to get it off my chest....outta curiousity whom else do people use for registrars around here?

Well it appears the Spammers have smartened up to SpamAssassin with a vengeance now on my end. With the majority of my Spam going right past their filters. I thought about trying to lower the SpamAssassin threshold, but my concern here is I may bust too many innocent emails. What kinds of things have you folks tried to knock the Spam Count down within SpamAssassin these days?

Hey guys was trying to upgrade MediaWiki via Softaculous just now and was getting a message "unable to upgrade, PHP version 5.3.2 required".  What version(s) of PHP are available right now, or any other ideas?  Thanks!
