My computer is playing up. I've had gateway error and slow, but that could easily be at my end.

I have noticed a few issues over the past couple of days.

Have had phpBB messages and generic 503s.

Looking at the response headers shows that the server is still running php 5.3, which is rather out of date. The latest versions are miles faster. And totally not backward compatible.

Had the same. I'd say over the past few years there have been a few more issues.and it's been a bit sluggish too.
Finally getting security warnings that the site is not secure. Probably needs a good update but mostly works OK.

Not sure who hosts and paying for hosting?!

I am getting that here, but I just thought it was caused by some kind of "over seas" connection problem.
