On November 27, 2020 the FSH hosting webserver will be taken offline to prepare for the installation of PHP 8.0 (Production version.)
Here is what customers should be aware of:
PHP 8.0 will be the primary version being installed as default
Websites being hosted will have PHP 8.0 as their installation default
Multi-PHP versioning will be allowed. You will be allowed either PHP 8.0 or PHP 7.4 for compatibility reasons.
PHP 7.4 will be dropped as the default PHP version, as PHP 8 will be put in it’s place.
PHP 7.3, PHP 7.2, PHP 7.1, and PHP 7.0 are no longer supported in customer’s hosting environments and will not be allowed to be installed as a multi- PHP version installation choice.
Note: Extensions that were once used for PHP 7.4 cannot be used in PHP 8.0.
Customers needing PHP 7.4 must submit such a request to
support@firestarhosting.cc
And include
Customer’s Name
Customer’s hosting username or domain name
The fact that the customer would like PHP 7.4 to be installed on their website.
No ticket being submitted means that you will have PHP 8.0 installed by default on to your website.
The installation of PHP 8.0 will begin at 9:00 AM, and should conclude by 12:00 PM.
