Our Network and Servers - Operating System and Software
All new user servers at pair Networks run the FreeBSD operating system (FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p1).
A direct descendant of BSD UNIX, FreeBSD is fully open source, aggressively maintained, and contains the most stable networking code to be found anywhere. It has ably supported our services since the first day we went online.
On the FreeBSD site, you can read more about the past, present, and future of FreeBSD.
We are currently using the Apache Web server (Apache 2.2.4) on all new user servers with the following modules installed:
- mod_authn_file
- mod_authn_dbm
- mod_authn_anon
- mod_authn_default
- mod_authz_host
- mod_authz_groupfile
- mod_authz_user

Secure server and commerce services (SSL) are provided by the mod_SSL extension with our standard Apache configuration. This provides complete compatibility with our standard hosting services while ensuring the best possible performance and reliability.
Database services are provided by the famous open-source MySQL software. Available with our Advanced and higher level accounts, MySQL provides robust, high-performance SQL databases. We are currently running MySQL 5.0.45.
PHP is a powerful, server-side scripting language that can be used to extend the functionality of your pages in many ways. It is available for use with Advanced level accounts and higher and is activated by naming the files that use it with the extension .php.
We are currently running PHP 5.2.5.
