Evct Hosting - Announcements

We took great pains to increase the security capabilities of cPanel/WHM 11.25 without limiting usability. Aside from the features listed above, we’ve also implemented blank referer checks to further guard against XSRF exploits, and upgraded cPHulk to make your server even more resistant to DoS attacks.

Performance

Lightening the load on your server

The latest version of cPanel/WHM provides a host of enhancements which can lighten server load, resulting in faster response times. For example, RoundCube webmail can now operate using the lightweight SQLite database engine, and we’ve made the cPanel log daemon (cpanellogd) more robust, preventing delays in log processing — and a resulting over-consumption of memory — due to missing dependencies. Plus, you can now configure account transfers between servers to skip the user's home directory, which can greatly speed up the transfer time, and account creation is faster, due to a more efficient httpd.conf generation process.

Mail upgrades

Several improvements will affect your mail server. We’ve optimized the Courier and Dovecot mail server authentication libraries, to reduce authentication engine memory usage and startup time, and we’ve increased the efficiency of mail delivery. Exim’s quota lookup process has been streamlined, for faster response times. In addition, Exim is now able to use a single process to listen on multiple ports, reducing RAM and CPU usage.

Optimized Apache

In previous versions of cPanel/WHM, tasks such as using the Tweak Settings feature would cause Apache to restart multiple times. Version 11.25 allows Apache to queue restart requests, minimizing the number of times Apache will be restarted. We’ve also improved httpd.conf generation times, making Apache configuration faster than ever before.

Ease of use

Enhancements for resellers and administrators

Resellers will benefit from finely tuned bandwidth usage metrics that include more accurate graphs. Bandwidth usage data is now retained for 10 years while incurring minimal disk usage overhead. And WHM’s new Web Template Editor lets you customize the pages your visitors see in different circumstances, such as when a web page has moved or hasn’t yet been configured. In addition, resellers with large numbers of user accounts will enjoy quicker access to the WHM home page, thanks to a more efficient data retrieval process.

Meanwhile, server administrators will notice the server’s short hostname in the WHM title bar (for example, the WHM interface for server1.example.com would display “server1”), making it much easier to manage multiple servers at once from a web browser.

Language system improvements

cPanel’s language system has also been overhauled, to incorporate a much more accurate, locale-based framework that uses less server memory and loads more quickly. It’s also more compatible with languages that are written right-to-left.
