1. In order to make hackers life harder we jailrooted all shellaccount on all our server.
It should limit evil users in their efforts to stelal other uers password and files because all not user can see in the shell is only his files and limited number of programs he ca execute.

As far as I se that not all our users happy about this since it also limit normal users. In case you think that some command or utility should be available for you in the shell please email support@hostony.com and we'll consider adding it.

#2. We decided to switch from the proftpd ftp server to PureFTP due to the fact that:

- Faster Login Time
- Smaller Memory Footprint
- Allows Virtual Access on any ip address
- Better Security Model
- Deals better with Software Raid systems

Despite the advantages there is only disadvantage involved with this upgrade - our users won't be able to see ftp logs in the control panel.

In case you have any problems after these changes please contact our support through trouble tickets or email with full details required to reproduce a problem.
