I have today received an email from my Host and wondered if my site will run after the upgrade has taken place and wondered if any-one would know please.

Thankyou

Email as below:

Hello

This email is to inform you of server upgrades commencing in June which may affect your website(s) hosted on UnitedHosting.

If you know your website does not use PHP scripting, or you are sure your site is fully compatible with the latest PHP version 5 then you can safely ignore this email. If you are unsure about any of this then please read on..

PHP version 4 is now "end of life" and no longer being maintained by the makers of PHP. As such we will be upgrading all our servers from the current PHP4+5 versions to PHP5 only from this June. PHP4 will no longer be available once this maintenance is completed during the month of June.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?

It is extremely important that if you run PHP software/scripts on your website that you check with the makers of these scripts to ensure they will run and are compatible with PHP5. PHP4 is no longer a maintained version of PHP so any reputable script maker will have already released new versions which will run on PHP5. It is extremely important that prior to June you have checked and/or upgraded all your scripts ready for PHP5. Failure to do this may render your scripts un-usable once we have completed this maintenance.
