The PHP developers recently released versions 8.0.29, 8.1.19 and 8.2.7 that fix several bugs. We’ve upgraded the PHP 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2 series on our servers as a result.
Customers should not notice any changes, but as always, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any trouble.
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.

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.
Today is World Backup Day! If you’re not backing up your own computer and devices, today’s the perfect day to start doing it; that page has advice.

We’ve traditionally used our blog for notifications about our system status, but we’ve now added a more modern status page, at www.tigertechstatus.net. It shows any problems, outages, or planned maintenance.
We recommend that you bookmark the page in your web browser so you can check it even if you can’t reach our main site for some reason. (It’s hosted by a third party, so it will be available even if there’s a problem with our services.) You can use the Get Updates button in the top of that page to subscribe to status updates by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams or RSS feeds.
