Second media server now up and running

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Today was the launch of our second media server, after the past few weeks of heavy use on the media servers we brought in a similar spec server with the updated hardware.

This second server will now host all new websites for media and the current media server will continue to host reseller accounts due to its custom reseller systems.

The server has been marked as NY2 as it is our second media server in New York, with this there are different nameservers (DNS) for the new server which are:

Media Hosting NY2
Nameserver 1: dns3.hostmediauk.com
Nameserver 2: dns4.hostmediauk.com

Below is the 3 other sets of current nameservers / DNS:

Shared Hosting
Nameserver 1: dns1.dnshosted.co.uk
Nameserver 2: dns2.dnshosted.co.uk

Railo Hosting
Nameserver 1: dns5.hostmediauk.com (208.77.209.239)
Nameserver 2: dns6.hostmediauk.com (208.77.209.246)

Media Hosting NY1
Nameserver 1: dns1.hostmediauk.com
Nameserver 2: dns2.hostmediauk.com

If you have any questions or comments regarding the new server please feel free to contact us via the support ticket section.

PHP_MING Hosting

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Over the past week we have had php_ming on our Linux cPanel servers to work with and many of our customers have already found this feature as a great use.

We offer PHP_MING with all our cPanel Linux hosting, see below for a list of hosting packages:

What is PHP_MING (Taken from PHP.net)

First of all: Ming is not an acronym. Ming is an open-source (LGPL) library which allows you to create SWF (“Flash”) format movies. Ming supports almost all of Flash 4′s features, including: shapes, gradients, bitmaps (pngs and jpegs), morphs (“shape tweens”), text, buttons, actions, sprites (“movie clips”), streaming mp3, and color transforms –the only thing that’s missing is sound events.

Note that all values specifying length, distance, size, etc. are in “twips”, twenty units per pixel. That’s pretty much arbitrary, though, since the player scales the movie to whatever pixel size is specified in the embed/object tag, or the entire frame if not embedded.

Ming offers a number of advantages over the existing PHP/libswf module. You can use Ming anywhere you can compile the code, whereas libswf is closed-source and only available for a few platforms, Windows not one of them. Ming provides some insulation from the mundane details of the SWF file format, wrapping the movie elements in PHP objects.

Ming was added in PHP 4.0.5.

To view the module is supported on our cPanel servers please use the following URL:
