Unrelated to your issue, but some notes: 1. Fix your indentation, that code is pretty much unreadable. 2. Do not use md5 to hash passwords, use password_hash instead. A plain unsalted md5 hash can be broken incredibly quickly via the use of rainbow tables (depending on password length), and...

That has never been the case, it's just that 20 years ago people were far less concerned about ensuring their code was secure (it wasn't secure at all, it just wasn't a concern at the time). The security features of both programming languages as well as databases has improved orders of magnitude...

It was disabled on vBulletin long before the transfer anyway, as the credits system was very poorly coded and was the sole cause of the forums loading slowly and eating up tons of server resources (cpu, mainly). We may bring it back in the future in some incarnation, we may not. Nothing has...

Regarding databases: you can install multiple applications to a single database by using something called "table prefixes" -- if you install your software manually instead of via the Softaculous auto installer, there is usually an option to specify a table prefix, which allows multiple apps to...

I use Visual Studio every day at work (doing ASP.NET MVC with C#/razor), and I can state with confidence that I have never used the visual designer, despite working on a website all day -- all of our HTML is hand-coded rather than by dragging and dropping stuff from a toolbox onto the screen...

You will need to upgrade to Illuminated or Premium if you wish to be able to use exec(), that function is available on both of those hosting levels (for Illuminated, the upgrade option is available in your cPanel).

FrontPage is ancient technology (2003 was its last update, and it is no longer receiving any form of security update), I highly recommend against using it. If you need a visual designer for your website, consider using our built in sitebuilder in cPanel or software such as Adobe Muse or...

PHP 5.5 has been installed on all free hosting servers, we are now doing some finishing touches but no further downtime is expected. If you notice something wrong with your website that indicates a PHP misconfiguration, please let us know about it by opening a support ticket so that we can track...

Upgrade is now commencing on level and vox as well.

PHP 5.5 is now being compiled on Absolut. We needed to upgrade the cPanel version to 11.38 for security updates, and that version upgrade is now currently happening on level and vox. The 5.5 install will be able to proceed on those once the updates finish.

All of x10Hosting's services, including paid services, run on Linux. Illuminated and Premium allow ASP.NET, although it is provided via mono, so not everything is supported and things may not work 100% the way they are supposed to. If you need .NET support, consider getting a Windows host (they...

The PHP upgrade on absolut requires a cPanel upgrade, which is currently being performed. This is a minor version upgrade so no noticeable changes should happen on your end (version is being updated from 11.36.2.10 to 11.36.2.12). This will take quite a few hours to complete, so again the PHP...

The upgrade is now fully complete on Illuminated, some minor issues were discovered that do not impact the running of user's websites, and will be fixed at a later date. The upgrade is now starting on Absolut.

Illuminated has been upgraded to PHP 5.5, we are now checking configurations to ensure that everything is set properly.

This is starting now, Illuminated is up first. Downtime is expected while these upgrades are in progress. Please do not open any support tickets that your site is not loading/working while your server is being upgraded.

Short "echo" tags, e.g. <?= ?> are always available starting in PHP 5.4, so you can use those if you'd like. Beyond that, remember to always escape any user-provided strings before outputting them to the browser so that you are not vulnerable to HTML injection/XSS attacks. As @ddnhf43 suggested...

Using password_hash() doesn't add any additional time over using sha1. I recommend that you edit your post so that it uses a better hashing mechanism as mentioned in previous comments here, as one of the major downfalls of PHP is people finding sites like this and blindly copy/pasting the code...

Upgrade will resume on March 27th. Sorry for the delay.

It can, simply do not install the Scribunto extension for MediaWiki and everything will be fine. Note if you are importing the infobox templates from Wikipedia you will need to import an older version of it that does not make use of lua modules/{{#invoke}}. The easiest way to do that is to...

We've encountered an issue in the prep work for Illuminated that is preventing the upgrade from happening there. Please be patient while we investigate. There is no ETA on when we'll get this issue fixed but in the meantime the upgrade is on hold, apologies for any inconveniences this causes.
