File uploads should be possible without any problems (assuming your uploaded file does not exceed the upload limit). What makes you think it doesn’t?

No, we’re not going to do that. Intel simply produces the best server processors at this moment. The only other company which makes server processors is AMD, and last time I checked AMD’s processors are just as vulnerable to Spectre as Intel’s processors.

And even if there were processors which were not vulnerable, we’re not going to purchase hundreds of thousands of dollars in server hardware (the server cluster your websites run on is large) to fix a single, security vulnerability which might not even be exploitable on our servers given the limitations of PHP.

We stay on top of security issues and make sure our servers are properly patched against vulnerabilities. Meltdown patches have already been installed and Spectre patches will be installed as soon as they become available.

Then it’s like that .apk files are blocked on the system. Most executable programs are blocked I think, because:

  • InfinityFree is a website hosting service, not a file sharing service.
  • Executable programs on our servers often include malware (compared to official app stores).
