Please note that we are carrying out a core network upgrade to double our network capacity on Wednesday 16th June at 2:00AM, the work will last for about 30 minutes. We do not expect this upgrade to impact service, however the network is at risk for the period the work takes place.

From 1st May we will begin the process of discontinuing support for Microsoft FrontPage Extensions.

In June 2006 the Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for UNIX were deemed to be "End-of-Life" which means modern versions of Apache cannot run the extensions. By removing FrontPage extensions we can benefit from the enhancements, security and features that are in modern versions of Apache.




Time line:

  1. FrontPage extensions have already been removed from our product feature list for new customers.
  2. On the 1st May FrontPage extensions will be removed from our control panel for existing customers.
  3. In the months following the 1st May the extensions will be removed from each web server as we move to the latest version of Apache.

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gumblar for more information on this type of attack.

To reduce the significant threat from these viruses we have been working to come up with a solution that protects your website. The solution is to lock FTP when it's not in use, making it extremely difficult for the hackers to infect your site via this route.

To unlock FTP, customers will simply log into their hosting control panel and click one button to unlock FTP for a period of time. FTP will then automatically lock again after the time period has expired.



You will also be able to nominate an IP address that has permanent FTP access, customers FTPing from that IP address will not have to unlock. If you do not know your IP address you can find it at http://whatismyip.com/

These security measures will ensure that the majority of sites have FTP locked, greatly reducing the risk of having your websites infected.

This change will go live on the 15th February 2010.]]> http://ace-host.co.uk/comment.php?comment.news.51 support@nospam.com (Ace Host) Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:04:29 +0000 http://ace-host.co.uk/news.php?item.51.3
