HOSTEK.COM Offering New PHP 5.3 Hosting On All Platforms

Hostek.com Launches New Linux ColdFusion Hosting Service

Tulsa, Oklahoma (PRWEB) September 12, 2011

Hostek.com, a specialist in Adobe ColdFusion 9 web hosting and Microsoft ASP.NET web hosting, announced today a competitive new choice of Linux ColdFusion website hosting options. By offering customers and resellers this useful alternative to its popular Windows hosting services, Hostek.com is making it easier than ever to develop rich and exciting new web applications.

We have been offering Windows ColdFusion hosting services for almost ten years, and have been an Adobe Solution Partner since 2009, says Jon Cavanaugh, Director of Business Development at Hostek.com. Customers have joined and remained with Hostek.com because we truly understand ColdFusion website hosting and work to develop services for ColdFusion. As a result of our ongoing success in this area, we are proud to give our customers and hosting resellers the chance to customize their ColdFusion 9 hosting service with a choice of operating systems.

ColdFusion Markup Language, or CFML, is a scripting language that uses simple, easily understandable syntax to handle data from a database, and ultimately to display this data to visitors in new and interesting ways. By using ColdFusion Markup Language on a ColdFusion server, developers can create and deploy dynamic, content-rich, and highly interactive web applications. Without the use of a scripting language with the power and versatility of CFML, developers can find their web presences overly static, lacking the true interactivity that defines the online experience. Hostek.com launched their range of Windows ColdFusion hosting services in 2002 and has since helped businesses and individuals worldwide to transform their online activity.

ColdFusion hosting is a powerful, versatile way to develop web applications, whatever operating system it is offered on, says Cavanaugh. Our customers have proven just how vital a dependable, reliable ColdFusion server is in modern web development, and we have seen continued growth in this area of business in recent years. Our decision to launch Linux ColdFusion 9 services comes as a result of ongoing demand for the flexibility of ColdFusion on a Linux server with Linux-specific hosting features and cPanel included as standard.

The ability of ColdFusion to deliver creative new web applications is consistent regardless of operating system, but it is outside of ColdFusion that the choice of Linux or Windows comes into play. While ColdFusion Windows hosting allows the use of alternative scripting languages such as Microsoft ASP.NET or classic ASP, developers who do not use these facilities may be better suited to a Linux plan. One specific example is the option to use cPanel, one of the most popular website control panels available, which is offered as standard on all Hostek.com Linux ColdFusion 9 hosting plans. This incredibly feature-rich control panel offers unrivalled control to users of Linux web hosting solutions. In addition, some ColdFusion developers may wish to use other common applications such as WordPress or osCommerce and, as a matter of preference, choose to do this on Linux.

At the end of the day, this is a matter of taste, says Cavanaugh. Some people just prefer to work with Linux rather than Windows. Now, we are adding yet another customization option for every Hostek.com customer and every Hostek.com reseller. We have been consistently serious about our role in ColdFusion hosting and, with this new option to operate on Linux, we remain committed to offering the most competitive ColdFusion hosting services.

Since first offering ColdFusion hosting in 2002, Hostek.com has grown to become a distinguished figure in the ColdFusion web hosting industry. By adding a selection of ColdFusion 9 Linux hosting services to an already varied and popular choice of Windows ColdFusion plans, Hostek.com is now offering an incredibly varied service range that is sure to maintain customer satisfaction and encourage future growth.

Customers interested in learning more about Hostek.com and their range of Linux ColdFusion hosting services are encouraged to visit hostek.com.

Hostek.com Launches New Linux ColdFusion Hosting Service

Hostek.com Announces New PHP Version Switching Feature on All Windows Hosting Services

Tulsa, Oklahoma (PRWEB) February 23, 2012

Hostek.com, a provider of Windows web hosting, ColdFusion hosting, ASP.NET web hosting, and Linux hosting plans, announced today the addition of a new feature in the hosting companys control panel that lets Windows hosting service users switch between PHP 5.2 hosting and PHP 5.3 hosting, at will. With the increased flexibility, Hostek.coms new PHP version switch feature gives customers complete control over their PHP hosting applications.

At Hostek.com, we realize there are many applications that require older versions of PHP and likewise, many that require the latest version of PHP to run properly, says Brian Anderson, CEO at Hostek.com. By giving our customers the ability to change PHP versions, we are satisfying their needs regarding a specific PHP version, without the hassle of having to change servers to get the PHP version they need. Additionally, we are excited to also announce for those PHP developers who want or need to be on the cutting edge of the latest technology, that on our newest servers we have added the ability to switch to the latest PHP 5.4 RC version and will be updating to the final release of PHP 5.4 when available.

PHP is a server-side scripting language used to create and run dynamic web applications. PHP web hosting services can be used to deploy such software as WordPress or osCommerce to create the kind of database-driven content that not only attracts customers but also helps to encourage regular visits. PHP is a language that continues to change on a regular basis, with new versions being introduced regularly. As a result, some older web applications become incompatible with the latest PHP versions, while newer software depends on the very latest functionality. Hostek.coms new PHP version switch tool allows customers to choose the version best suited to their needs.

With many Windows web hosting solutions, customers find themselves locked-in to whichever PHP version their Windows hosting provider chooses, says Anderson. But not every customer is the same. Some aim to run the old software that they know and love, while others use applications dependent on new PHP enhancements. Our customers can now click the PHP Settings button within their Windows Control Panel (WCP), and switch to PHP version 5.2.x or 5.3.x as needed. We have also taken this opportunity to make the creation of custom php.ini files easier, allowing Windows, ASP.NET, and ColdFusion web hosting customers to alter more advanced PHP settings.

As a configuration file that holds the core settings for a PHP web hosting service, php.ini remains, for the most part, invisible to the vast majority of users. Hostek.com has tailored the default php.ini file to suit most web applications, freeing PHP hosting customers to go about launching their web presence. However, on some occasions, certain applications may have specific PHP configuration requirements. Now, Hostek.com customers can use the Windows Control Panel to easily integrate their own php.ini file.

Our support team routinely had to move sites to different servers to give our customers the PHP version they needed to run their applications, so we implemented the ability for our customers to have this control without having to change servers, says Anderson. At Hostek.com, we continuously work hard to put the tools in the customer’s hands that they need, while providing them with the support and new technologies they expect. Thats how we continue to offer the best hosting service possible, why new customers sign up with Hostek.com every day, and why our existing customers are incredibly happy with their choice.

Although Hostek.com has grown to be a well-respected leader in the world of shared hosting services, the firm routinely evaluates and assesses its service range to identify improvements that would benefit customers the most. The new additions of PHP version switching on Windows hosting plans and custom php.ini creation mark the companys continued commitment to offering the most versatile and flexible web hosting services in the industry.
