New Team Member–Ksplice joins Evohosting!

Posted by: Tim M. // // July 21st, 2010 // Company

I’d like to formally welcome the latest addition to our team, Ksplice!

He’s a world reknowned rapper from East Compton Village, Berkshire and from now on, he’ll be looking after our servers 24x7x365.

Actually, he’s not a rapper, but with a name like Ksplice he could be; actually, Ksplice isn’t even a person…

Ksplice is a piece of software that allows us to hot patch all the servers to the latest Kernel version without rebooting them; this means we no longer need to have reboot nights. We will be installing Ksplice across all the servers during the day on Thursday 22nd July 2010.

The Ksplice installation requires no downtime, you won’t even notice we’re doing it!

We’re Taking Our Servers to LiteSpeed!

Posted by: Cat M. // // July 21st, 2010 // Company

On Monday, July 26th, 2010, we will install LiteSpeed Web Server, a high scalability and high performance web server, on all of our servers.  LiteSpeed Web Server is six times faster than Apache, which means our servers should be faster than ever!  To learn more about LiteSpeed Web Server, please visit http://litespeedtech.com/overview.html

We will install LiteSpeed Web Server on all of our servers throughout the day on July 26th, 2010, and this should not result in any downtime.  We will keep you updated on our server status blog as we’re installing LiteSpeed on each server.

LiteSpeed is a direct replacement for Apache and is 100% compatible so everything should work fine. If you do experience any problems with your site after the upgrade on Monday please let us know.
