Through this medium, we want to inform you of the updates we will be making to the NixNetworks web hosting platform. This change may affect your web pages and portals based on PHP, so you will need to take preventive measures.
What is the change?
We will be updating the PHP version of the web hosting service to move from 5.6.x to 7.3.x, the latest version. This is because version 5.6.x is no longer supported and has not received updates since January 1, 2019.
How does this affect me?
In the event that you have old versions of content management systems (CMS) such as Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, or similar; these may stop working if they are not updated to the most recent versions that support PHP 7.x.
How to avoid being affected?
It is recommended to update your portals and PHP applications to the most recent versions. CMS like Wordpress, Joomla, and Drupal support PHP 7.x in their latest versions. For other applications, it is recommended to consult with the solution provider.
When will the change be made?
Sunday, September 29, 2019.
What services will be affected?
Web pages, portals, or applications based on PHP.
The email service, email administrator, webmail, FTP, and database will NOT be affected.
Likewise, if you do not have PHP systems in your web hosting, you can safely ignore this notice.
