Languages: English • Update Host Compatibility 日本語 (Add your language)

Here is a list of hosts that have been tested with the Core Update feature that becomes available after Version 2.7. (I.E. For upgrading from 2.7 or later to newer versions.)

Also see compatibility pages:

• Plugins/Plugin_Compatibility
• Themes/Theme_Compatibility

Please no links on this page, just the names of the hosts.

Working hosts, no issues

This list is pretty much everyone now, and potentially infinite, so removing and just leaving the other sections.

Works with caveats

• 1and1 (fails running PHP 4, but works with PHP 5. Add the line: AddType x-mapp-php5 .php to the file .htaccess in your main wordpress directory to enable PHP 5. This also appears to not only affect Core updates but some Plugin updates as well.)

A - D

• Aplus.net - Does not work with Akismet due to requirements asking for permission for all outbound http requests to provide port number, IP address or hostname and reason for request.

• Aruba.it (Italy) - Automatic upgrade doesn't work, unless you put in wp-config.php the following variables:

define('FS_CHMOD_FILE',0755);
define('FS_CHMOD_DIR',0755);

After you have done this, all settings (should) work perfectly.

Note: This refers to the Linux version hosting; Windows hosting does not support WordPress correctly and Aruba does not give support for it on this platform.

• Cedant - Does not work with Akismet due to requirements asking for permission for all outbound http requests to provide port number, IP address or hostname and reason for request.
