The amount of spam an individual receives depends upon the first letter of their name.
BBC News reports that e-mail addresses beginning with A, M, R, S and P got more than 40% spam, whereas those beginning with Q, Y or Z got about 20%.
The analysis was carried out by a computer scientist at Cambridge. Dr Clayton examined over 550 million emails, and believes spammers generate email addresses using popular names and dictionaries.
PHP Upgrade Date: 3 August 2008
Some of our shared hosting web servers are still running PHP4 as the default PHP engine, and PHP5 as an second PHP engine. On 3rd August, we will change all remaining web servers to use PHP5 as the default.
If any customers experience problems with their website on the change-over date, please submit a support ticket and our team will look into the issue as quickly as possible.
Also, incase customers need more time to make all their website scripts compatible, PHP4 will remain on these servers as the secondary PHP engine.
You can use PHP4 by creating a file called .htaccess located in your public_html folder with the following code:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php4 .php
This will make all .php files in public_html and subdirectories use PHP4.
