I haven't tested this but I'd imagine this post here is still valid.
Usually you can point to a socket using the unix:// method as noted above. Please let me know if this works!

It's something we've considered however the demand is pretty low at this time. If enough people express interest in reseller services in Amsterdam we'll definitely start offering it.

Hi!
LiteSpeed doesn't compress SVG images by default. I've gone ahead and added it so it should be deployed server wide within the next 12-24 hours. If you need it done immediately please submit a ticket to our support department (https://support.hawkhost.com) and reference this forum post.
Cheers!

This is just a reminder that PHP4's will completely be discontinued to be supported by PHP on August 8th, as a result we'll be removing it from our machines August 9th. If you have any concerns whether your scripts will run please contact the vendor of the script, or if you can't get ahold of them you can contact us and we'll take a peak.

PHP4 has numerous security issues and lack of functionality - this is the main reason for discontinuing it in favor of PHP5 - most of your scripts should work and the transition won't be noticeable.

Please see this thread for our previous announcements regarding this.

We've temporarily disabled SSH across all machines as a precaution due to a recent exploit / 0-Day (released before being patched) in the wild. We'll update this thread once SSH has been enabled.

This does not affect our VPS servers.

We'll be performing a kernel upgrade on on Thursday April 12th between 10PM-1AM CDT. While we use KSplice to keep our kernels up-to-date for critical bugs and security fixes it doesn't pull in new features from the upstream kernel. As a result we perform semi-annual kernel updates to keep everything up-to-date and in-line with upstream.

We will be updating all of our servers kernels to the latest version on Tuesday September 21st to to address a recent vulnerability found in some 64bit distributions which affect us. You may recall we run ksplice on all of our servers and they did attend to this issue prior to an official release from the vendor (Red Hat) however due to the nature of the vulnerability we've decided to perform an actual kernel upgrade to ensure this won't affect us in the future.

The maintenance window is for the next 12 hours during which each machine will be updated and experience about 10 minutes of downtime.

Mars came under a large distributed denial of service attack around 10:00AM EST - we mitigated it within a few minutes. There may have been a brief period of slowness or service outage as a result.

We're currently monitoring the service and working with data center technicians to fully mitigate the attack.

We'll leave this ticket open for 24 hours until we can confirm service is full restored and back to normal.
