Bluehost Introduces FastCGI Acceleration
Have you had a chance to try Bluehost‘s FascCGI acceleration for PHP? FastCGI was introduced recently, and you can enable this new feature right form your cPanel:
FastCGI for PHP makes all your PHP applications run through mod_fastcgi instead of mod_phpsusexec. This eliminates the overhead of loading the PHP interpretor on every hit. Since it is always in memory ready for the next hit, the responses will be generated faster. This is done without a need to modify to your existing PHP applications will be performed so you can easily enable and disable it at will.
FastCGI Benefits:
- PHP scripts will run faster. The PHP interpreter is loaded into memory rather than calling from storage for every hit, greatly improving performance of your scripted site.
- You will use less Server Resources. Since the server does not have load the PHP interpreter for each hit, you will be able to accommodate a higher traffic site without exceeding your CPU quota.
- NO modifications to your existing code are required. Everything you currently run will work with FastCGI for PHP.
Potential Problems with Fast CGI:
- You will only have one php.ini file available for all subdirectories (/home/USERNAME/public_html/php.ini). This is necessary to help optimize the website code as much as possible. If you need multiple php.ini files to accommodate different scripting needs, you can disable FastCGI for PHP on any of your subdirectories while leaving the rest of the account enabled for performance. Please contact support if you need to do this.
- There can be a few minute delay in any updates you make to your PHP environment (ie, php.ini changes). Since your php.ini is loaded into memory for greater speed, every hit does not re-read it from storage.

Featured Review of Lunarpgaes
Mark from 45n5 left following review of Lunarpages Web Hosting:
I hosted previously with Lunarpages for two years. In that time I don’t remember my sites EVER being down. Not once.
Another thing I loved about lunarpages is customer support. Seriously, it should be called “fanatical (in a good way)†customer support. They respond sometimes with in an hour.
Their prices are perfect if you need good uptime and support.
Their only drawback is their plans don’t allow for as many addon domains as some of their competitors.

Earlier today we have received an e-mail from Mr. Michael Epstein of Infolink, regarding inaccurate and defamatory reviewed left by one of our visitors earlier this month. We have featured his e-mail in the following post.
After taking a closer look, we indeed realized that review in question may have been “fakeâ€. The reviewer provided a non-existent (aka fake) e-mail address. Following this investigation we are removing the review in question and would like to reinforce following rule:
- Writing a review you must provide a valid e-mail address where you can be contacted. Failing to provide such an e-mail will result that your review will not be featured on our website. While we never share your e-mail with anyone, we care about the quality of our website and it’s usefulness to other people. If we can not contact you we have to presume that your review is not genuine.

Inacurate and Defamatory info About ServerPronto
We have received an e-mail from today from Michael Epstein from Infolink claiming that information contained on our website inaccurate and defamatory:
Dear Sir or Madam:
Please reference the following URL or your web site:
http://www.web-hostingreview.com/..unhappy-customer/
(Edited: Above page was permanently removed from our website, please refer to the following post.)
This post is full of inaccuracies, name calling, etc. My guess is that this was an unhappy customer who had a hard time managing his server. Our servers are self-managed and often we have customers who become unhappy when they have trouble managing their server. I can assure you that his references to downtime (not factual, check some of the sites that monitor our network, lost fax, and technical support are not accurate.
I respectfully ask that you remove this post beause it is highly inaccurate and defamatory, and we do not wish to convey this image to potential customers.
If there is something else you would like me to do, please let me know.
Yours truly,
Michael Epstein/Infolink
