Incoming and outgoing mail servers now support encrypted (SSL) connections

To protect the privacy of customers' email account usernames, passwords, and email messages as they travel over the Internet between the customer's computer and the mail server, we have implemented SSL security on both incoming (POP3/IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) mail connections. Although use of SSL is optional, we strongly recommend its use to all customers. We have updated our email software setup instructions with the additional SSL configuration steps.

Upcoming PHP upgrade on Windows servers

We will be updating PHP to version 5.2.3 on all Windows shared servers on July 28 and 29.

The vast majority of PHP scripts will continue to work unmodified on the new PHP version. However, in a small number of very specific cases, changes to PHP code may be required. If you are using a pre-written PHP web application and are concerned about potential compatibility issues, we recommend that you ensure you are running a recent version of your application.

PHP programmers should consult the following website for information on migrating code from PHP 5.0.x to 5.2.x: http://ca.php.net/UPDATE_5_2.txt
