PHP versions 8.2.17 and 8.3.4

The PHP developers recently released version 8.2.17 that fixes several bugs. We’ve upgraded the PHP 8.2 series on our servers as a result.

We’ve also added initial support for the PHP 8.3 series, and PHP version 8.3.4 is now available in our “My Account” control panel. However, we don’t yet recommend using it unless you need a feature that PHP 8.2 doesn’t offer.: PHP 8.2 is currently still more compatible with popular scripts like WordPress.

Python 2 deprecated; Python 3 soon to be updated from 3.7 to 3.9

As of today, we’re no longer recommending or supporting the obsolete Python 2 program on our servers. (Python is a scripting language; if you don’t know what that means, your site is unlikely to affected by this and you can ignore it.)

Python 2 will remain installed on our servers for one more year until June 1, 2024, but anyone using Python 2 should switch to Python 3 now. Python 3 has been available on our servers for several years, and most customers who use Python have already switched to it. If you’re still using Python 2 next year, we’ll send you extra reminders before we remove it.

PHP version 8.2.5

We’ve added support for the PHP 8.2 series for our hosting customers, and you can now select it in the My Account control panel.

We always recommend using the most recent PHP version that’s compatible with your scripts (we’re using PHP 8.2 on this blog, for example) — but if you try a new version and you have any problems, you can instantly switch back to the older version. We currently support PHP 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2.

Older PHP versions 5.5, 5.6, and 7.0 are still available on the servers, but are no longer supported and can’t be chosen by customers who are already using a newer version. You should update if you’re using one of those (you’ll get nagging email messages from us about it).

As always, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any trouble.
