TuxCare Hardened PHP (hPHP) for VPS
TuxCare Hardened PHP (hPHP) is an optional paid add-on that extends security support for legacy PHP versions. This article explains how it works and how it helps you securely run older PHP applications while planning an upgrade.
What is TuxCare Hardened PHP
TuxCare Hardened PHP (hPHP) is a security-enhanced PHP solution that continues delivering security updates for unsupported PHP versions, including versions as old as PHP 5.2.
Instead of leaving legacy applications exposed after official PHP support ends, hPHP helps reduce security risks by providing ongoing vulnerability patches.
This solution is suitable for websites or applications that cannot immediately migrate to a newer PHP version due to compatibility requirements.
