Really?

I opened ticket 4740 and got the following response:

  We currently do not offer a way to update or change the server kernel.

  We often build up our features based on user requests. You can submit and 

  vote for features you would like to here:

Are the servers really in NYC or are they in NJ like most providers who claim to be in NYC?

Sorry - I was just informed that you can not install and run your own kernel. Apologies.
