Drupal 7 Extended Life solution

Drupal 7’s End-of-Life (EOL) doesn't mean end of choice.

Salsa's Endless Drupal suite of solutions allows you to choose how and even if you end Drupal 7.

Pathway 2: D7 Extended Life solution

In our Extended Life solution, you can keep your site running on Drupal 7 and secure your site beyond EOL.

Re-host your current Drupal 7 site to a new platform with increased security that will allow you to lock down and separate your editor user interface (UI) from your public content site.

Benefits of Salsa’s D7 Extended Life solution

Maintain a high level of site security and performance

Greatly reduce hosting costs

Keep running Drupal 7 CMS indefinitely

How do you securely extend D7?

Move and re-host your website and Drupal 7 content management system (CMS) while adding security against D7 EOL risk by using static hosting. We'll take a snapshot of your website’s HTML code and host this on a separate server to the CMS, in this case a ‘content delivery network’ (CDN). This separation of the CMS (where the content is edited and stored) from the CDN (where the public is actually viewing the HTML copy of the website) gives improved speed and security. Site visitors can fully interact with the static snapshot copy of the site as if it was live, including using search and webforms.

Why keep it running on Drupal 7

You’re happy with what you’ve invested in, or need more time to prepare for the Drupal 9 or 10 upgrade
You want to make regular content updates, but not deploy new site feature

Re-host your website and keep it running on Drupal 7 with safeguards to keep it secure past EOL.
