Finding the right hosting for Bitrix: rocks beneath the surface.
You have just completed all the website development work and are ready to take it online. You started to search for a hosting plan that will suit your website and budget. You know the system requirements for Bitrix websites are: Apache 2, MySQL 5, PHP 5 etc. And you see that there a lot hosting plan that meet these requirements. But is it enough to check the system requirements only?
The real answer is – “no”.
Here are several things you should care about:
Main system requirements
Sure, your hosting tariff should meet all the system requirements.
This means that Apache, PHP and MySQL should be installed on the server in appropriate versions.
Sometimes the PHP version can be changed directly in server settings. You need to use either the hosting control panel or edit the .htaccess file. This can be tricky but you can always check it and fix it before the installation.
Specific server settings
- Be sure that you have safe_mode turned off.
- Safe mode may interfere with file and image uploads.
- You need to check the open_basedir settings in your php.ini file and disable it.
SiteGround adds more features to its customized cPanel theme
SiteGround web hosting company recently announced the launch of multiple new functionalities in its customized cPanel theme Crystal. The most important new additions were specifically requested by customers and include: multiple languages, important notices section, and instant full and partial backups.
After the launch of the company’s customized cPanel’s theme Crystal in the beginning of March, SiteGround has requested feedback from customers on what features they would like to see embedded in Crystal. The top two user suggestions were multilanguage support and instant backups. Just a few weeks later, the company introduced the requested enhancements.
SiteGround has translated its customized theme in 11 languages by now and is working on adding 5 more language options. The language options feature is already recognized as a great convenience by the large international customer community of SiteGround.
Since last week, customers also have the option to make instant full or partial backups for free through their cPanel. The company has developed a custom backup script that allows customers to backup their whole accounts, databases or just email filters and forwarders. The script was specifically made so that it should save resources and not load the servers, unlike the default solutions available before.
SiteGround also upgraded the cPanel Notices section available in Crystal to ensure uninterrupted email services. Alerts will be displayed when any email account goes beyond the email quota and guidelines on how to optimize that particular inbox will be available.
"We received lots of suggestions and feedback from our customers through Facebook, Twitter, our forum and our blog. All we had to do was listen to what users need and make it happen as soon as possible. It is just great that we have the opportunity to talk to our clients, discuss their ideas and add value to their Crystal experience" says Radostina Kesova, Marketing Specialist at SiteGround.
Switching Servers
CMS Report is switching servers this weekend and making some DNS changes. In other words, we may be down for a few hours on Saturday or Sunday. If we run into problems, we can switch back to our original server.
Update: Bulk of the transfer was completed by 10 PM CST. I will need to do some fine tuning here and there though. More later...
