Hello,
The Application Pool crashing is currently being looked into by our Senior Windows Technicians. This is something that is only effecting you and no other users on the server. When we receive an update from them, we will relay it to you. We have not washed our hands of this.
As for the PHP Security Consortium, take note at what they actually say.
"While it does not represent a security vulnerability, it is a security risk." It then goes on to give examples of why it is a risk and in what situations it is not a risk. Other settings and variables dictate whether it is a vulnerability/risk. With our settings, there is no known vulnerability.
As a non technical example.
If I leave my car unlocked, it's a security risk. However, if I leave my car unlocked while it's in a locked garage, surrounded by guard dogs and an armed guard, it's not a risk.
If you still feel this is a problem for you, you may feel upgrading to a
VPS Hosting or a Dedicated is preferable. You can then dictate your own settings.
