From a performance perspective, websrv05 has been great for us. That said, I knew it would be a relatively short run, given that it runs CentOS 7, which is officially end-of-life in June 2024.
Today I'm announcing our upcoming migration to websrv06. Like its predecessor it is fast — 40 CPU cores, 128 GB of RAM, and 4 TB of RAID 1 storage. It runs PHP 8.3 and MariaDB 10.11, and the latest Plesk 18 for hosting management.
Migrations start this week and will finish by the end of April. Once your account has moved, you'll get an email notification. As with the last migration, you should notice little or no downtime.
Known issue: after your account moves you may receive “Could not issue/renew Let's Encrypt certificates” emails from the old server. These can safely be ignored until all domains have migrated.
Known issue: if you had set your mail server to websrv05.digitalorphans.org to avoid TLS errors, change it to websrv06.digitalorphans.org. Most people point mail at their own domain and are unaffected.
PHP 7.4 is well past end-of-life and will not be supported on websrv06. All sites move to PHP 8.3 during the migration. If that breaks an older PHP site, let me know and I'll help.
