Shared Hosting PHP Changes

19 October 2023

Starting the 27th of November 2023 we will be making PHP 8.1 the default PHP version on shared servers.

Reason
It's crucial to update your PHP versions regularly to avoid leaving your websites vulnerable to hacking attempts. Security support for PHP 7.4 ended in November 2022, and PHP 8.0 will also be out of support in November 2023.

What if I need to use an older version of PHP
PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.0 will not be removed from servers for now, but it is important to note that they may be removed in the future. You will be able to select PHP 7.4 or PHP 8.0 in your website settings in the control panel.  Refer to https://www.webwiz.net/kb/controlpanel-tutorials/website-change-php-version.htm for more information.

How to change the version of PHP my website uses
You can now easily select the version of PHP (7.4 to 8.2) your website uses in the control panel. Refer to https://www.webwiz.net/kb/controlpanel-tutorials/website-change-php-version.htm for more information.

What if I need an older version in the long term
In case you need to use an older version of PHP in the long term, our Enterprise Web Hosting plans can be a good option for you. These plans are not hosted on a shared server and can be customised to work with a PHP version of your choice.
