To change the PHP version for your Managed WordPress website, follow these instructions:

 Warning: Upgrading the PHP version can cause issues with your site. You can test the upgrade by using the staging environment.

Depending on your website agreement this is completed automaticlly with Nerdicloud for security of your website.

Managed WordPress key features at a glance: 

• The latest version of WordPress is automatically installed. 
• Automatic WordPress core updates. 
• Performance-enhancing caching. 
• Automatic, daily backups (last 30 days). 
• Integrated SSL is included for the life of your hosting account. 
• One-click migration tool. 
• Enhanced security through restricted file access. 
• Secure access to your files and database with SFTP and phpMyAdmin.  

Because of these optimizations, there are also some limitations you
should be aware of. For example, Managed WordPress does not support
WordPress multisite networks, and there's a curated list of plugins that cannot be installed
due to security vulnerabilities, duplicate functionality of built-in
features, poor performance characteristics, and some that are
non-functional. 

With Managed WordPress, you can rest assured that your site is always
up-to-date, secure, and performing at its best. This means you can
spend more time creating quality content, engaging with your customers,
and building your brand.

Your website was created using the most current Wordpress login.

Nameservers are a fundamental part of the Domain Name System (DNS), which is like the internet's phone book. When you type a domain name into your browser, like "example.com", the DNS translates that human-readable domain name into the corresponding IP address that computers use to communicate over the internet.

Nameservers play a crucial role in this process. They are specialized servers that store DNS records for a domain name. These records include information like the IP addresses of the domain's web servers, email servers, and other services associated with that domain.

Here's how nameservers work:

1. Domain Registration: When you register a domain name (e.g., example.com) with a domain registrar, you're required to specify the nameservers that will handle DNS queries for your domain. This is usually done through the registrar's control panel.
2. Nameserver Configuration: You provide the nameserver information to your domain registrar. Typically, you'll have at least two nameservers specified for redundancy and reliability, often in the format of "ns1.example.com" and "ns2.example.com".
3. DNS Lookup: When someone tries to access your website by typing your domain name into their browser, their device sends a DNS query to the DNS system, asking for the IP address associated with your domain.
4. Nameserver Response: The DNS system routes the query to the appropriate nameserver based on the domain's nameserver records. The nameserver then responds with the requested DNS information, such as the IP address of your web server.
5. Caching: To improve efficiency, DNS information is often cached by intermediary servers along the way. This means that subsequent DNS queries for the same domain can be answered more quickly from the cache rather than requiring a full lookup.
6. DNS Propagation: When you change nameservers or DNS records for your domain (e.g., updating your website's IP address), it takes some time for these changes to propagate throughout the internet. This process, known as DNS propagation, can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours, depending on various factors like TTL (Time to Live) settings.
