This upgrade will also include a migration to CPanel® for browser-based web site, email and account administration. This transition will be conducted by our support team and will be completed by Friday, December 15th, 2017.

At completion, all managed servers on the AV platform will be running the below configuration*:

OS: Linux OS Apache/CentOs 7 - 64Bit
CPanel: Version 66.0.23
PHP: Version 5.6.31
MYSQL: Ver 14.14
Distrib 5.6.37

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