        <title>New topic: &#8220;What is RAID?&#8221; by admin</title>
        <link>http://www.ascenthosting.com/forum/knowledgebase_general/topic-36/?recent=36</link>
        <description><![CDATA[Short for Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks, a category of disk drives that employ two or more drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance. This allows your server to stay online even if one drive fails (or in some cases two drives fail)

<b>What is the difference between RAID1 and RAID5?</b>

RAID1 employs 2 identical drives which mirror each other. If either of these two drives fail, the other one will have a mirror of the data for real-time failover (no downtime).

RAID5 employs 3 identical drives and provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance. 

In summary, RAID1 provides protection against a drive failing while RAID5 provides faster read/write speeds as well as protection against a drive failing.

Most other RAID configurations are available for our dedicated server solutions, but please contact sales@ascenthosting.com for details and pricing befor placing your order.]]></description>

        <title>New topic: &#8220;Can I use both PHP4 and PHP 5 on my server?&#8221; by admin</title>
        <link>http://www.ascenthosting.com/forum/knowledgebase_general/topic-34/?recent=34</link>
        <description><![CDATA[<b>Absolutely!!</b>  Ascent offers BOTH php4 and php5 to our customers and make it easy to use both PHP 4 and 5 concurrently on your server.

In order to accomplish this, php4 is set to the default handler for all .php files. 

You can associate .php files to be php5 by putting the following code inside your .htaccess file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

If you are unsure of what a htaccess file is and how to edit it please lodge a support ticket and we can assist with this.]]></description>
