How do I change my PHP version?

Guide from cPanel & websites — written for Canadian customers. Billing always in CAD.

cPanel & websites

Our servers use the CloudLinux PHP Selector so you can pick the PHP version and extensions for your site.

  1. Log in to cPanel.
  2. Under Software, open Select PHP Version.
  3. Choose a version from Current PHP version and click Apply. Prefer a currently supported release (PHP 8.1 or newer).
  4. On the same page, enable the Extensions your app needs and adjust settings if required.
  5. Click Save if prompted.

If a site breaks after a change, switch back to the previous version, then update the application or ask support which extensions it needs.
