Hardened PHP Hosting

PHP itself is continually updated as security flaws and exploits are found within the main library and language. Each main version of PHP has a finite lifespan after which the core PHP developers no longer support, update, and patch - even newly discovered security issues.

Introducing Hardened PHP Selector

Our hardened PHP installs extend the lifespan of PHP web apps significantly. We take care and patch newly discovered security flaws in PHP  - even long after the official suppliers discontinue support. This allows you to get more life out of your legacy applications without compromising security.

Simply select an alternate version of PHP to take advantage of older versions of PHP, or keep it set to native and it will auto update as we update versions on the server - ensuring it keeps current with all the modern improvements.
