Auto-Configuration of Email Clients
Improvements to the auto-configuration of email clients, which allows mailboxes to be automatically integrated into the major desktop email applications (Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird,...). Simply enter the name, email address and password to automatically and securely configure the mailbox, without having to provide the advanced configuration details.
The webmail application now includes a new section where you'll find the mailbox configuration details for those applications that do not support the automatic set-up.

Database Cloning
New feature that allows databases to be cloned.
This option, used together with the Sandbox feature, allows you to make changes to a website's code in a fully functional test environment before automatically applying the changes.
Sandbox v2
Thanks to this evolution of the functionality in the web hosting plans and dedicated hosting platforms, the process of creating a new website or a software upgrade is simplified because the administrator can create an environment in the same or a different platform for the testing without affecting the site visits. It is important to be aware that a change in the software version can make a working web site fails due to the use of deprecated functions, changes in the form of actions... The administrator can check and correct these points in a controlled environment, to then put into production automatically.
PHP settings for Sandbox
A new column in the PHP section of the Control Panel will be enabled in web hosting plans and dedicated hosting platforms that allows you to set different PHP parameters for Sandbox and for Live Environment.
Thus, when making major changes in the format of a website, it is possible to differentiate the PHP configuration, and this way it is allowed the use of different features from the production environment.
PHP 5.4
A new stable version of PHP5 (PHP 5.4) will be available in early 2012. Once incorporated into Arsys' platforms, it will be really easy to use the "Upgrade" tool in the Sandbox package to test and update any website hosted on an earlier version.
Email Archiving
If the 3GB of space that comes with your Arsys mailbox isn't enough, you can use this tool to archive old messages, or ones with large attachments, on your Online Hard Drive. You will then be able to access them through an integrated interface between the two applications. You'll be able to link directly to files on your Online Hard Drive, or upload them automatically via Webmail and send links instead of files.
