Lately the server has been under a lot of pressure, we have therefore taken the following measures to try and insure a good level of service and allow for more growth.
mod_suphp now serves php requests under your own username, this has some permission implications - files that do not belong to you cannot be executed, files not chmod'd with the correct permissions will also not execute.
Having mod_suphp serve php requests also has it's benefits for you, anywhere you read that something needs to be chmod 0777 is actually incorrect, NO permissions need to be given to other users on the system 0660 will give your scripts the ability to read and write all files that belong to you.
No more than 30 emails can be sent by a domain in an hour, this is to avoid the excessive mail queues we have been experiencing recently.
Some problem sites have been deleted from the server, sites that were leeching from rapidshare and using nulled software.
Next month I will be writing software for spacesocket.com to block and or permanently remove accounts that are breaking our TOS, this will hopefully do some of our work for us and mean that the server doesn't call for much human attention.
Awstats are no longer processed or available, this is not a feature I see as necessary, there are plenty of third party solutions you can use - this will not change, so don't ask.
If you get internal server errors, please ensure that your owner and group permissions are correct on all files under your webroot and that they are chmod'd correctly. If you post that you cannot access your site because of internal server errors, I will run a couple of commands to fix the problem, but cannot pick through each and every file / folder to give the exact permissions, so you may still need to do a bit of chmod'ing.
While I hope all of this doesn't cause inconvenience for anyone, please understand that none of it will be changed, all of these measures are absolutely vital to a smooth service now, so please find ways to work around your problems, if you post your problems the mods and admin will be more than happy to resolve your issues so your software works in the current environment.
