Our excellent support is the reason 98% of our customers remain with us!

Yes, that’s right. Over the course of the past two months we have been grilling our customers in our annual customer survey to gather their honest opinions on our service, support and plans for the future. The results are in and we are pleased to announce that for the second year running they are overwhelmingly positive.

You can find some of the comments received on our customer comments page and a selection of the results below:

Python 2.6

Adam — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:10:56 +0000

Over the past few weeks quite a few people have asked us for Python 2.6 support. We always try to install extra software when our customers request it, so we’ve installed Python 2.6 alongside Python 2.4.

To use Python 2.6, simply execute “python2.6″ anywhere you’d normally use “python”. For example, if you use Django then you can just change the first line of django.fcgi to:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.6
