Multiple PHP versions available in your cPanel now

Posted on by

While our marketing team is working on more great partnerships, as previously announced, our technical support team and system administrators were busy adding some great new features to the cPanel. We will be presenting them over the next week and we are in a hurry to present the first one of them now.

During the years, the web hosting market has emerged and changed quite a lot. Not only that, but it changes at a rapid pace as you are even reading this post. The key word to this market, if you ask seasoned people working at it, is flexibility. This, combined with the ability to adapt were always a success recipe for us at TMDHosting.

Over the years, not only the market changed, but also the environment and the applications running on it. This is why, we are glad to provide you with a great flexibility tool, namely to change your account’s PHP version on demand. There are, already, number of applications that require PHP 5.3. Still, however, there are greater number that are not yet ready to shift from PHP 5.2. There will be, someday, such a situation when PHP 5.4 become more mature. Until now, we have been keeping different servers, each of them using different PHP versions and, where needed, transferred accounts between them.

Realizing that this is not rational, we have developed a cPanel plugin, which will allow you to choose between PHP 5.2 (which we stick to by default, due the large application demand), PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4 (which is still beta and not mature enough). You can find it in your cPanel, under the Software/Services section:

To add even more flexibility to this, we have also created a mechanism to set different folders to use completely different PHP versions. This is not yet included in the cPanel plugin, however, in its second version it will be. Currently, you can reach out to our technical support team and have them do this modification for you. Until then, on your own, you can change only the global version of the PHP interpreter for your account.

We are currently piloting this feature on selected number of servers. Next week we will have it available on each and every server of ours. In the meantime, if you need to take advantage of this feature, just get in touch with our friendly technical support staff – they will be glad to assist you and are on your disposal 24/7.

We hope that you will enjoy this feature and will take advantage of it. There are more cool things that we are currently perfecting and will start releasing very soon from the lab. Stay tuned!

Online usability testing with Loop11

Posted on by

So, you have built your website already, thanks to a design contest that you have submitted at 99designs, then you have started promoting it using AdRoll and got your communication backed up by Grasshopper and RingCentral.

Your website well, still you feel that there is something, which can be improved, right? For all that have this feeling, there is already a great solution provided by our newest online encounter, Loop11.

Loop11 will allow you to create an online usability test and invite participants of your choice to join it. You can give them different tasks and watch over their completion. It gathers all the data you possibly need, so it can be analyzed further and so you can know whether something new you are planning to implement will or will not work.

Whether you are going to change the look and feel of your website, or you are going to create a new section or change an existing one, if unsure how it will be – you can launch your own usability research, without having the need to operate your own usability testing lab and additional coding.

The service that Loop11 provides is called usability testing, which in its very essence, is a technique used to ensure that the users of a website (or interface) can carry out the intended tasks efficiently, effectively and satisfactorily.

On the web, usability is a necessary condition for survival. If a website is difficult to use, people leave. If the homepage fails to clearly state what a company offers and what users can do on the site, people leave. If users get lost on a website, they leave.If a website’s information is hard to read or doesn’t answer users’ key questions, they leave.

Note a pattern here? There’s no such thing as a user reading a website manual or otherwise spending much time trying to figure out an interface. There are plenty of other websites available; leaving is the first line of defence when users encounter a difficulty

Loop11 will help you enrich the experience that visitors are getting at your website. You should definitely give it a try – you can now sign up for one free test, just to see how it goes – surely, you’re going to love the results.
