Safer Web hosting. Switching PHP version and loss of insecure email protocols.

PHP is a programming language that is being used in websites, which generates needed HTML content that the user needs. PHP updates itself continuously. Most of contents management systems like Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal are written in PHP and they always require the newest PHP version. Some of the older versions are also supported but with the new generation versions everything works more optimized – faster and more secure.

PHP

PHP platform is located in web hosting servers and there is no need to configure it. It is possible to choose in the self service which PHP version your webpage uses. As of this year  PHP 7.2 and 7.3 are backed with security updates by the developers.

Using older PHP versions brings risks. Because of security weaknesses it provides backdoors to the website attackers. Newer versions offer many times faster website working efficiency. Soon WaveCom won´t able to offer reliable services with older PHP versions even if the clients are ready to take security risks. Because libraries that older PHP versions use are becoming unstable.

01.04.2020 at 00.00 As WaveCom changes all it´s clients PHP versions to newer securer 7.3 version. It can bring disturbances in the work flow to some older websites. In this case it is possible to change PHP version back to older one in the self service. Altough it won´t resolve that the website requires immediate maintenance and update. Cyber space regulations require information system owners to mitigate known information security risks.

WaveCom will continue to provide support for older and insecure PHP version 5.6 until September 1, 2020. Support for versions 7.0 and 7.1 will be completely removed.

Loss of insecure email protocols.


Listening to an unsafe connection can easily result finding out the password for your email account. When using an insecure connection on a public Wi-Fi network, it is only a matter of time before your password is compromised. Then it is possible to send spam and misleading emails under your name.
As of 01.04.2020 00.00, As WaveCom will stop supporting obsolete unsecure pop3 and imap email protocols working with ports 110 and 143. From then on, service can only be used via secure TLS / SSL protocols that work on ports  993 IMAP and 995 POP.
Also, the outgoing server uses only the secure TLS / SSL protocol and port 465 and authenticates using the incoming e-mail user IDs.

For some time all modern e-mail programs and apps have been using only secure connections.

Engaged in software development, we constantly need to quickly create new servers and scale them. For us, owning hardware and dealing with its management is certainly not in line with our goals. After trying out several service providers, we turned to Wavecom, where all our computing needs are covered. The service is also very stable, and it's easy to recommend to our clients to continue using Wavecom's services after development is complete.

The stability of WaveCom's service further led us to start building an automatic Kubernetes platform there, making life significantly easier for both us and our clients. All this is done so that using the service does not require having either DevOps or even IT specialists.
