As part of PHP Extended Support, IONOS experts will close security vulnerabilities in older PHP versions. You can use the service if there are no additional official security updates from the PHP Group for your preferred PHP version. This way, you can continue to use older editions such as PHP 7.2 or 7.3 without exposing your project to security risks.
