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.

Network outage August 26, 2022 (resolved)

Between 7:56 and 8:19 AM Pacific time today (August 26, 2022), a network outage at our data center caused most sites to be unavailable.

The underlying cause of the problem has been identified and resolved, and should not recur.

We apologize to our customers affected by this incident: we take reliability seriously, and don’t consider any outage normal or acceptable.

PHP versions 8.0.22 and 8.1.9

In addition, we’ve added support for PHP 8.1 (currently version 8.1.9). We consider PHP 8.1 to be only experimental for now; it still has incompatibilities with many scripts, including WordPress, and should probably not be used on production sites. If you try it and have any trouble, we recommend you simply switch back to an earlier version of PHP in our control panel.

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