@Weaver,
Most of my Weaver installations have been running on PHP 7.4, so they should be ok, but one of them is only running MySQL 5.6.41. Is that still ok?
I contacted Hostgator on Twitter and they told me they will eventually get around to it:
‘We can move the account in question to a newer server that does have MySQL 5.7 on it, however we’d need permission to do so as it would very likely require a nameserver change on the domain.
Our plan is to get all shared servers updated to 5.7 however HostGator has been going through a pretty tumultuous couple of months since our acquisition by Newfold Digital so a couple things have been delayed. So eventually your server will get 5.7 but that date is TBD right now.”
