End of Life – PHP version 4 webhosting

PHP version 4 was officially retired 8 years ago and no longer receives any kind of official patches or support. To preserve functionality for our resellers who have customer services requiring PHP v4 we have maintained our own patch subset for PHP v4 since 2008.

Our volume of PHPv4 websites has now reached a low enough level that it no longer makes business sense to maintain our PHPv4 Webhosting services. Effective 1 August 2017, we will no longer offer / support PHPv4 websites.

We recommend to all customers to either upgrade their websites to PHPv5, PHPv6, or PHPv7. You can select the different version from our webhosting panel to temporarily change your php version to see how it may affect your website. We would recommend trying PHP 5.2.

If you need help with migration we recommend placing a RackCorp support ticket. Any sites still operating on PHPv4 will be automatically upgraded to PHPv5.2 on August 1st. Please note there is a VERY HIGH chance that this will break sites that were built for PHPv4.
