#1
Dear Valued Customers,

We have important news to share regarding our hosting services, eCommerce software, and cPanel support. As CentOS 7 approaches its end of life, we are taking steps to ensure your hosting accounts' continued security and performance. We will be transitioning from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8, which will affect various PHP versions, including PHP 5.4, PHP 5.5, PHP 5.6, PHP 7.0, PHP 7.1, PHP 7.2, PHP 7.3, and PHP 7.4. To maintain compatibility and security, any software running PHP version 7 and below will no longer work on our hosting accounts and will be upgraded to PHP 8. We are also excited to announce that an upgraded version of our eCommerce software, VrShop, will be available upon request. If you have a customized version of the front end, the new version will feature our standard front end. Additionally, we need to inform you that cPanel will no longer support upgrades for cPanel running on CentOS 7. Please review the following details carefully:

CentOS 7 End of Life: CentOS 7, the operating system powering our hosting infrastructure, is reaching its end of life. To ensure the highest level of security and stability, we will be upgrading to AlmaLinux 8, operating system with long-term support and enhanced security features.

PHP Compatibility Changes: With the transition to AlmaLinux 8, please note that PHP versions 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4 will no longer be supported on our hosting accounts. Any software running PHP version 7 and below will no longer work. It is crucial to upgrade to PHP 8 to ensure compatibility and uninterrupted functionality. Our support team will be available to guide you through the upgrade process and provide assistance.

eCommerce Software Upgrade: We are pleased to announce that an upgraded version of our eCommerce software, VrShop, will be available in the next few months. If you are interested in upgrading to the latest version, please submit a request to our support team. In the case of a customized front end, the new version will feature our standard front end. This upgrade will offer improved features, enhanced security measures, and bug fixes to optimize your eCommerce operations.

cPanel Support Changes:  cPanel will no longer support upgrades for cPanel running on CentOS 7. As part of our transition to AlmaLinux 8, we will ensure that your cPanel installations are seamlessly upgraded to the supported version of AlmaLinux 8.

What you need to do:

PHP Compatibility Check: We recommend reviewing your hosting account and identifying any PHP applications running version 7 and below. These applications must be upgraded to PHP 8 to ensure compatibility with the new hosting environment. Our support team is available to assist you throughout this process.

VrShop Upgrade: The upgraded version of our eCommerce software, VrShop PRO v8, will be available in the next few months. If you wish to upgrade, please submit a request to our support team.
