How do I change PHP version?
As standard, we run PHP 7+. If you wish to switch version, head to My20i > Manage Hosting > [Select Package] > “Switch PHP Version”
Our Linux platform has the ability to run different versions of PHP:
- PHP 5.3
- PHP 5.4
- PHP 5.5
- PHP 5.6
- PHP 7.0
- PHP 7.1
- PHP 7.2
- PHP 7.3
- PHP 7.4
- PHP 8.0
- PHP 8.1
- PHP 8.2
Version changes may take up to 60 seconds, but are usually instant.
