Thanks for the confirmation Sandy. So far I'm very happy with them. They seem to run their hosting service like a utility: if nothing goes wrong, they won't have any support work. If they encounter a problem, they seem to want to fix it so that it "stays fixed". And if they can't do something, they just say so. All of which is just the way I want it.

Patrick,

Thanks for pointing me to the specific module responsible for the security, Patrick, and for the reality check.

I am continuing to investigate alternate webserver hosts. canadianwebhosting.com looks promising.


I have used that host for several years, and am happy with them. Their support is quick and knowledgeable. Their price is excellent. We noticed a lot of downtime at one point, but things didn't get annoying enough for us to keep records.

I followed the standard "slightly more secure" pmwiki installation (change permissions, have pmwiki create wiki.d, tighten them up again). We have subdomains and cleanURLs. I didn't touch the unmask statement in pmwiki. I don't even think we have the block recipe going. So far, we haven't had any security problems.

At one time, they didn't allow the word "open" to be in a file. Pm helped me track down why my page wasn't saving and gave me a work-around. CWH fixed the real problem within a day.

Cheers!

Sandy
