FAQ
Pumpkin Hosting FAQ
Why is Pumpkin limited to the latest version?
Pumpkin is positioned in SwiftServers as a latest-version-only option so the runtime and proxy configuration stay predictable.
Does Pumpkin work behind the SwiftServers proxy?
Yes. SwiftServers configures Pumpkin for the platform's current legacy forwarding mode.
