Mid Year PHP Updates for Shared Hosting

Removal of PHP 7.4: As planned, we will fully remove PHP 7.4 from our cPanel servers for Shared Hosting customers on August, 4th. If you have a website on Shared Hosting on PHP 7.4 at the time of depreciation, your website will automatically move to the lowest version available. We're also working towards removing 8.0 on September, 1st and 8.1 on October, 13th across all our Shared Hosting services.

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.

We’ve started to roll out a new upgraded version of Domain of One’s Own. The upgrades offer admins centralized and simplified administration, easier updates, increased security and more freedom in how your instance is themed.
