Joomla! CMS | FCGI, Fastcgi and Suphp Content Management Systems Joomla | Fantastico | New Sprout Hosting

NewSprout Hosting runs FCGI on our servers suited for Joomla! websites, (an alternate and similar option is suPHP). This has numerous benefits from a security and development point of view.

Permissive permissions can be avoided completely. It also avoids many of the associated permissions problems experienced with web hosts not running FCGI, due to the fact, the PHP code can do whatever FTP can do for the user.
