We are pleased to announce that over the next two months we will be upgrading all web servers on the AV platform to the latest operating systems and hardware. This upgrade will also include a migration to CPanel® for browser-based web site, email and account administration.

CPanel: Version 66.0.23
PHP: Version 5.6.31
MYSQL: Ver 14.14

*Legacy sites will be running on compatible PHP and MySQL versions via CloudLinux.
