URL forwarding with HTTPS support
Our URL forwarding now supports HTTPS, which means that visitors accessing your URL via https:// will also be redirected correctly.
Previously, our forwarding server only supported HTTP traffic. This meant that visitors accessing your domain via https:// were not redirected and instead encountered an error.
We have now added full HTTPS support to the forwarding server. It automatically issues SSL certificates, ensuring that redirection works regardless of whether visitors use HTTP or HTTPS.
URL forwarding is included free of charge with all domains at Simply.com.
Changes in DKIM setup
On June 2, 2025, at 9:00 AM, we will switch DKIM signing from unoeuro._domainkey til simplycom1._domainkey (sasme key).
This will be seamless for all domains using Simply.com name servers and does not require any manual action.

We receive many questions from customers about whether or not we plan to stop offering PHP 7.4.
Simply.com has no plans to remove or stop offering PHP 7.4, just as we still offer several other PHP 7 versions (and even PHP 5.6).
We will set our default PHP version to PHP 8.0 when WordPress and various themes start recommending it over PHP 7.4. We’ll give plenty of notice before making any changes.
If you want to use PHP 8, you can set this up for your web space – read more about this here: https://www.simply.com/en/support/faq/php/503/

PHP 7.4 Upgrade
PHP 7.2 is end-of-life on November 30th 2020 and has not been actively developed since November 30th 2019.
This means that is time to upgrade our default PHP version from PHP 7.2 to PHP 7.4.
