UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Thread Like Summary - Migrating to a new server question

Hello,
Our current forum version is 7.7.5

My host I keep sending error messages saying saying I'm on a very old VPS solution,
and my host recommend a migration and say


What do you tech guys recommend?
Should I await and first install version 8 when/if it is available or is it considered secure just to migrate to almalinux8 with 7.7.5?
at the moment we use
PHP Version: 5.6.40
MySQL Version: 5.7.41


I hope this is not off topic to much

Thanks for your advise

Giz,
To piggyback on this topic with your reply.
What about mysql 8 with UBB 8?
I have one site that they are asking for customers to upgrade to plus php 8.
