I'm in Hells Kitchen, NYC but the internet in my AirBNB is down.

Any suggestions on quiet places with good WiFi where I can get some stuff done?

Is the new PHP 5.5 password_hash function secure enough for production applications? (That is, if you follow the recommendations regarding cost and not generating your own salt)

Are the better alternatives out there for PHP?

If someone is using a different BCrypt alternative, should they implement this instead?

Hi HN,

I have a PHP web app that runs on AppFog. We used to be on PHPFog and were really happy with the service/platform but have had nothing but problems since they forced us onto AppFog. I am looking for alternatives.

Our database (RDS - mySQL) and back end (EC2) obviously runs on AWS and we want to stay within the AWS cloud for our front end. I want to give money to a PaaS provider that can manage our front end servers for us so I don't need to spend hours learning and configuring AWS Elastic BeanStalk.

Suggestions for a solution?
