Ethernet Servers is all about getting better at what we do, every single day. We love to be able to say "yes" more than we say "no" to requests from our customers. One of our most popular requests in recent months has been a UK location for web hosting, and, we're now very happy to announce that we can tick this off the list; the United Kingdom is now an option for Shared Web Hosting! This new location features the same great specifications as our US location, including cPanel, CloudLinux, MariaDB, Softaculous, Imunify360, Daily Backups, and of course, 24/7 customer service!
New orders can be placed via our website. Existing customers are welcome to request a migration to the new location, for no added charge.
Furthermore, in keeping with the latest technologies, our servers have been updated to the latest version of the LiteSpeed's enterprise web server, and includes the following fixes and features:
- MAJOR NEW FEATURE Keep PHP workers running through server restarts with PHP detached mode.
