Changes are being made to Rhye Media’s hosting systems to maintain security, performance, and compatibility. If action is not taken, these updates may impact your website's functionality.
PHP Version Updates
The following changes are critical for all hosting clients:
- PHP version 7.4 and PHP version 8.0 are now officially end-of-life, meaning they no longer receive updates or security patches.
- These versions will be removed from our systems to ensure the security of all hosted websites.
Your hosting package must be updated to the latest PHP versions: 8.2 or 8.3.
Please note: Upgrading PHP may impact your site’s functionality, especially if the software running your website has not been updated to support newer versions.
CMS Updates (Joomla and WordPress)
For clients using Joomla or WordPress:
- Major updates to both platforms have been released. Some versions are now unsupported and require urgent upgrades.
- Regular updates are essential to protect your site from vulnerabilities and ensure compatibility with the latest PHP versions.
