Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 End of Support

19 October 2023, in Cloud Servers, Dedicated Servers

Microsoft has recently concluded its support for Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2. As a result, these operating systems will no longer receive any security or non-security updates, bug fixes, or support from Microsoft. 

It is recommended that customers using Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 on their Hyper-V Cloud Servers or Dedicated Servers contact support to discuss migrating to a supported version of Windows Server.

We understand that this may be an inconvenience, but we are here to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have during this transition. Please contact support at; https://www.webwiz.net/support




Shared Hosting PHP Changes

19 October 2023, in Shared Hosting

Starting the 27th of November 2023 we will be making PHP 8.1 the default PHP version on shared servers.

Reason
It's crucial to update your PHP versions regularly to avoid leaving your websites vulnerable to hacking attempts. Security support for PHP 7.4 ended in November 2022, and PHP 8.0 will also be out of support in November 2023.

What if I need to use an older version of PHP
PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.0 will not be removed from servers for now, but it is important to note that they may be removed in the future. You will be able to select PHP 7.4 or PHP 8.0 in your website settings in the control panel.  Refer to https://www.webwiz.net/kb/controlpanel-tutorials/website-change-php-version.htm for more information.

How to change the version of PHP my website uses
You can now easily select the version of PHP (7.4 to 8.2) your website uses in the control panel. Refer to https://www.webwiz.net/kb/controlpanel-tutorials/website-change-php-version.htm for more information.

What if I need an older version in the long term
In case you need to use an older version of PHP in the long term, our Enterprise Web Hosting plans can be a good option for you. These plans are not hosted on a shared server and can be customised to work with a PHP version of your choice. If you are interested in knowing more about our Enterprise Web Hosting, please visit https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/dedicated-windows-web-hosting.htm.

Dedicated Servers IPMI Management

10 October 2023, in Dedicated Servers

We've received reports of vulnerabilities in the Base Management Controllers IPMI, which is used for remote management of Dedicated Servers. 

As a precautionary measure, we've patched our servers with the latest IPMI firmware to provide additional protection to the IPMI service. 

Going forward, the IPMI service will only be accessible through the VPN service we offer to customers with Dedicated Servers.

Please do not hesitate to contact support if you have further questions.
