Dear Valued NodeSpace Hosting Customers,
We hope this message finds you well. We are excited to announce an upcoming update that will enhance the performance, security, and capabilities of your hosting experience. As part of our commitment to providing cutting-edge technologies, we will be upgrading the default PHP version on our cPanel servers to PHP 8.1.
Update Details:
- Date: Saturday, August 26, 2023
- Time: Starting at 9:00 AM (EDT)
- Duration: The update is expected to take approximately 10 minutes.
Why the Update?
PHP 8.1 brings a host of improvements, including enhanced performance, new features, and crucial security enhancements. This update will empower your web applications with the latest tools, ensuring they run efficiently and securely.
What to Expect:
During the update process, there might be a temporary interruption in service availability. We will do our utmost to minimize any downtime, and our team will be actively monitoring the update to ensure a smooth transition.
Action Required:
If you are using a specific PHP version for your websites and applications, we recommend reviewing your code to ensure compatibility with PHP 8.1. Most well-maintained applications should seamlessly transition, but it's always good practice to test your code in a staging environment prior to the update.
If you need a specific PHP version, please set it in cPanel. Your PHP version will only be changed if you see it as "Inherited" in MultiPHP manager, then your PHP version will be changed to 8.1.
How to Check and Modify PHP Version:
After the update, you can modify your PHP version within cPanel by following these steps:
- Log in to your cPanel account.
- Navigate to the "Software" section and click on "Select PHP Version."
- Choose PHP 8.1 from the available options.
- Save your selection.
Our support team is available to assist you with any questions or concerns you might have regarding this update. Feel free to reach out to us through our support portal.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to provide you with the latest and most secure hosting environment. Thank you for choosing NodeSpace Hosting as your preferred hosting provider.
Best regards,
Travis Newton, CTO
