Your platform version can be found in the control panel under **Account** > **Summary** > **Development** > **Platform Version**. Each platform version uses slightly different architecture and hardware.

## Release History

Version 4 was the first platform release to feature ApisCP as its control panel. Fractional versions (e.g. 4.5, 6.5) are experimental platforms that introduce and test new technology.

## Platform Migration

To migrate to a newer platform, open a ticket within the control panel to request a [[migrating-another-server]]. Migrations are automated, take 24 hours to complete, and have zero impact on your day-to-day operations as long as you use the default [[nameserver-settings]].

## End-of-Life Platforms

Platforms are periodically marked end-of-life (EOL), then physically removed from production 2-4 years later. EOL platforms no longer receive maintenance or security updates. If you are on an EOL server, open a ticket to request a migration to a newer platform. Accounts on EOL servers will be automatically migrated before the server is decommissioned.
