Over the next few weeks, we’ll be updating the MariaDB (MySQL) database server software on all our servers from the MariaDB 10.5 series to the MariaDB 10.11 series (equivalent to the Oracle MySQL 8.0.32 series).
The MariaDB/MySQL database stores pages for WordPress and other sites that are run by scripts. Customers should not notice any difference after this change; we’re upgrading it to a more recent version simply to make sure it’s as fast, reliable and secure as possible. We’ve been using the new version on internal and test servers for some time.
At the moment the software is updated on a server, WordPress and other database-backed sites on that server will have 30-60 seconds of unavoidable “downtime”. To minimize the impact of that, we do these upgrades only between 9 PM and midnight Pacific time (midnight-3 AM Eastern time), usually on Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights.
Beyond that one-time brief interruption in service, customers should not notice any difference to how their site works, as we said. But as always, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any trouble or questions.
Update: This was completed on Saturday, October 12. All of our servers are now running MariaDB 10.11.

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.

Between 10:00 PM on Saturday December 16 and 4:00 AM on Sunday December 17 (Pacific time), approximately 25% of our hosting servers will be restarted. This will cause a brief interruption of service (less than 10 minutes) for those sites at some point during this 6 hour period.
You can follow the status of the maintenance on our system status page.
