GoDaddy Managed WordPress Hosting Customers Now Getting PHP Lifecycle Support from Zend by Perforce

I'm looking for your stuff.

December 12, 2023, Minneapolis, MN /PRNewswire/ -- In order to provide extended Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) lifecycle support for GoDaddy Managed WordPress Hosting customers, Perforce Software, a provider of solutions to enterprise teams requiring productivity, visibility, and scale along the development lifecycle, today announced a strategic partnership with GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY), a global leader in domain registration and web hosting. Through this partnership, GoDaddy clients will benefit from increased flexibility as the issues of PHP version support and compatibility for enterprise WordPress sites are resolved.

GoDaddy Managed WordPress hosting providers can now take advantage of Zend PHP Long-Term Support (LTS), which extends support for PHP versions by at least three years beyond the existing community support lifespan. This support includes access to CVE patches and bug fixes.

"Partners who are as committed to our customers' success as we are are highly valued at Perforce. "GoDaddy's steadfast dedication to providing outstanding hosting solutions is in line with our shared mission, guaranteeing that we offer unmatched value to our customers," stated Dan Dodot, general manager of Perforce Software. "With the ability of Zend PHP LTS to extend the PHP community support lifecycle, GoDaddy customers have a seamless option to decouple their sites from a rapid community support lifecycle that doesn't always align with business needs."

WordPress analysis indicate that there are two main difficulties at hand. When newer PHP versions are released, maintainers of different features frequently find it difficult to adjust, which forces hosting teams to look for creative ways to keep their sites running in spite of these obstacles. With Zend PHP LTS, WordPress users may now navigate these complex issues with an extended post-End of Life period for PHP versions. This is a priceless addition. With this increased flexibility, WordPress users can enjoy a safe and seamless experience while developers proactively manage compatibility updates in line with their goals.

"Managing the complexities and incompatibilities of PHP versions, WordPress versions and the diverse array of plugins, themes and libraries that make up the typical enterprise WordPress site, can pose a considerable challenge for many organizations today," Arman Zakaryan, senior director of hosting at GoDaddy, "Our partnership with Zend by Perforce to extend the PHP lifecycle for our managed WordPress customers offers an immediate reprieve from those challenges allowing customers to pick the right time to migrate or upgrade their enterprise WordPress-based websites while keeping their sites secure."

Customers of GoDaddy Managed WordPress Hosting who would like to learn more about Zend's PHP LTS can get in touch with GoDaddy's support staff. Customers of GoDaddy will benefit from the same pricing that Zend offers, plus extra for using GoDaddy's managed WordPress platform.
