Which PHP Functions Are Disabled on the Free Hosting Plan?

In an effort to provide the best and most reliable hosting experience, the free platform prohibits the use of the following PHP functions:

allow_url_fopen()
fsockopen()
pfsockpen()
getrusage()
get_current_user()
set_time_limit()
getmyuid()
getmypid()
dl()
leak()
listen()
chown()
chgrp()
realpath()
link()
exec()
passthru()
curl_init()

Why Are These Functions Disabled?

There are two major reasons why a certain PHP function may be blocked on our free plan – security concerns and the potential of server stability issues.

On one hand, some of these functions allow data to be transmitted to a third party server. This is not allowed on our free service as it can allow a malicious website to be uploaded which then tries to steal information from visitors and immediately sends any entered data to the attacker’s computer.

The other major reason why certain PHP functions are prohibited is the fact that we take great care to provide a stable and reliable hosting experience. This is done by limiting the amount of server-side changes that a free hosting account can make. For example, when you get a free hosting account, you will only have access to your own files. All system files will be hidden and you will not have access to those. Similarly, some PHP functions require higher privileges to be executed. We have disabled these functions in order to ensure that they cannot the used to negatively impact the server’s stability and uptime or to compromise the data stored by other clients on the server.
