Recent security updates
Our team continues to work hard to ensure the security of our sites and servers in the light of recent Wordpress vulnerabilities:
Planned Removal of PHP 8.0 and 8.1
Following on from the removal of PHP 7.4 from our cPanel servers for Shared Hosting customers in early August, the timeline for the next upgrades is:
- 9/1: PHP 8.0 is removed.
- 10/13: PHP 8.1 is removed.
If you have a website on Shared Hosting on a lower PHP version at the time of depreciation, your website will automatically move to the new lowest version available. Read the post for more information.
Mid Year PHP Updates for Domain of One's Own
For Domain of One's Own customers, PHP upgrades will be applied in tandem with the roll out of the new upgraded version of Domain of One's Own.
Domain of One's Own upgrades roll-out
This month we continue the roll out of upgrades to Domain of One's Own as planned. The upgrades will offer admins centralized and simplified administration, easier updates, increased security and more freedom in how your instance is themed. Find out more.
Keen to learn more? Register now for our next Admin Workshop on 9/16.

Save the date: Reclaim Podcast Network launch
September 29
We’re working on something new… and it’s nearly time to unveil what’s in store for Reclaim’s new venture in podcasting. We love all things audio, from DS106 Radio to playing our favourite vinyl records, so it should come as no surprise that Team Reclaim loves podcasts, too.
