Our team has been busy deploying our cloud offering and thus far we’ve deployed them in Dallas, New York and Singapore. Each time we’ve announced the launch of a new cloud location we’ve said it’s fast, reliable but have not provided many details. Now while we cannot reveal everything we think it’s time to at least discuss the portions we are able to.
Processors
The processors we use are going to continue to evolve but as of today we deploy Broadwell, Haswell and Skylake processors. Our choice of processor is currently dependent on availability within a location. Rest assured though regardless of the processor your cloud server is on you’ll experience excellent performance.

We’re happy to announce all our shared hosting, cloud hosting, reseller hosting and semi dedicated hosting accounts now support QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections). We’ve supported SPDY and HTTP/2 for quite some time due to our use of Litespeed. Litespeed has also supported QUIC for some time but with the rapid development of the QUIC feature we have held off on supporting it. We believe it’s reached a point of stability where we’re comfortable offering it on all hosting plans.

On June 27th along with all other cPanel partners we received notice by email of a drastic change on how cPanel intends on pricing their product. We reached out to our cPanel account representative on how this will affect not only our web hosting servers but many of our virtual private server and cloud server customers. Our displeasure with this new pricing has been given to the management team at cPanel. We hope the cPanel team re-evaluates their pricing changes decision but if they do not we have already completed an initial evaluation on how this will impact our services.

At Hawk Host we always value security and compatibility and with that for the past several years PHP 5.6 has been the default PHP version chosen for new accounts. PHP 5.6 recently reached end of life status ( http://php.net/eol.php ) and more and more applications are alerting users to the existence of PHP 7.1 or newer. We have now decided to continue to offer the best hosting experience the default version of PHP will now be 7.1 going forward.
