Serverless computing comparison guide: AWS, ...

Serverless architecture market size is estimated to be USD 4.25 million in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 14.93 billion by 2023 at a CAGR of 28.6%. – ReportLinker The ‘serverless’ in serverless computing is more of a misnomer because servers are indeed an integral part of this technology model. Then, the question comes – what is Serverless computing? Nearly twenty years back, companies used to manage the entire server-side applications. This included – custom engineered programs, management of data servers, configuration of network switches and power requirements of data center racks. Things got simplified when the concept of cloud computing came in near 2000, and Amazon created its subsidiary Amazon Web Services in August 2006, followed by the launch of Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Companies no longer worried about network provisioning, they could simply rent virtual machines and pay for them per usage. But still, people thought about their systems in terms of…

Future Hosting Advises PHP 5.6 and PHP 7 ...

SOUTHFIELD, MICH. – Future Hosting, a managed server hosting provider, has warned server hosting clients that PHP 5.6 and PHP 7 will not receive security updates after the end of 2018. Servers running unsupported versions of PHP are at risk if vulnerabilities are discovered after that date.

PHP is the most common server-side language on the web. Many of the most popular content management systems and eCommerce applications use PHP, including WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Magento, Drupal, and more. Almost 80% of websites use some version of PHP. In spite of its upcoming end-of-life, PHP 5.6 remains the most widely used version of PHP, with around 60% of websites using PHP 5.6 today.


PHP’s developers will not support PHP 5.6 after December 31, 2018. PHP 7 reaches the end of its life earlier, on December 3, 2018. That means there will be no further work on either version. Bugs will not be fixed and security vulnerabilities will not be patched.

Support for PHP 5.6 was initially planned to end early last year. The deadline was extended because of its popularity. But December is the end of the line — there will be no further extensions.

“As a server hosting provider, we host thousands of WordPress sites and other sites built on PHP and PHP frameworks,“ said Maulesh Patel, VP of Operations of Future Hosting. “We’re concerned that a large percentage of the web will run on an unsupported platform. Bad actors will scrutinize PHP 5.6, and the vulnerabilities they discover will not be patched.”

Many site owners, developers, and hosting providers are reluctant to update to the newest version of PHP. The upgrade process can be time-consuming and may cause issues for busy production sites. Vulnerabilities in PHP itself are rarely to blame for security problems, but running unsupported software is always a risk.

Many content management systems will continue to support PHP 5.6 past its official end of life. WordPress still supports PHP 5.2, which was officially retired eight years ago. It is important to note that CMS support refers to backward compatibility, not to security support. Although content management systems will run on unsupported versions of PHP, they will not be protected from any vulnerabilities in those versions.

Hostens Launches New Locations of VPN Service

Vilnius, Lithuania – With a focus on individuals and small businesses, the web hosting company Hostens has introduced more locations of its VPN service. From now on, all customers can use VPS service in the following locations: London (United Kingdom), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Frankfurt (Germany), Vilnius (Lithuania), Washington DC (USA), San Francisco (USA), Singapore.

VPN service encrypts internet traffic by securing the user’s personal data, moreover, it provides an extra layer of protection when using public WiFi spots. Finally, it is a solution for those who wish to access geo-restricted content on, for example, video streaming sites.


“Our VPN service was introduced only one year ago, but we already have a substantial number of VPN users today. This is why we have decided to expand our range of VPN service”, – says Arvydas Strausas, the CEO of Hostens.

According to Mr. Strausas, one of the most relevant features of this service is the possibility to avoid country-specific restrictions by reaching content which is usually unavailable in some countries. Furthermore, there is no doubt about its necessity for the secure browsing. By using the VPN service, your traffic is encrypted between you and a VPN server, so your ISP can’t see where you’re going or what you’re doing.

Here is the full list of all the available VPN locations served by Hostens:
Europe

  • London (United Kingdom)
  • Amsterdam (Netherlands)
  • Frankfurt (Germany)
  • Vilnius (Lithuania)
