I’m irritated that our provider always runs so called server maintainance jobs which last sometimes for 2-3 days where people’s websites are hardly accessible. Friends told me that this is untrue, modern server maintainance runs without disturbing anything and besides, doesn’t take 2 days. Not that your website becomes inaccessible, due, “today, server maintainance”. “Ask the provider whats going on”, no, these folks simply tell what they like. * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/server-php-version-for-running-292/#post-1421486) * Run to a new host! * Thread Starter [rainer23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rainer23/) * (@rainer23) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/server-php-version-for-running-292/#post-1421494) * Thanks MichaelH, this is right, my point simply was to first seek for solutions. We surely live in a kind of throwaway society – as soon there’s some discomfort– to plunk. * To run to a new host is of course the easiest way when things don’t work smoothly. However, it is a decision, worth to first tap the full potential of checking alternatives. As wordpress is getting more and more popular, providers could have an information sign, something like that: * [server optimized for wordpress blogs](http://i44.tinypic.com/k0sg7.jpg) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘Server PHP Version For Running 2.9.2’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 11 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [rainer23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rainer23/) * Last activity: [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/server-php-version-for-running-292/#post-1421494) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
