Do you have any PHP functions disabled for security?

Last updated 2025-06-07

 

PHP Function Restrictions for Enhanced Server Security

 

To provide a safer and more secure hosting environment, the following PHP functions have been disabled on our servers:

ini_alter, system, passthru, shell_exec, leak, listen, chgrp,
apache_setenv, define_syslog_variables, openlog, syslog, ftp_exec


These functions are commonly exploited by poorly written or malicious scripts and are rarely required in standard web applications. Disabling them helps protect your website and server from potential vulnerabilities.

 

This change has been thoroughly tested prior to implementation and is aligned with industry best practices for shared hosting security.

 

If you believe your application has a legitimate requirement for any of the above functions, please open a support ticket with details for further evaluation.
