Shared Hosting Removal of PHP 8.1 - January 2026

23 October 2025

Starting the January 2026 we will be removing PHP 8.1 from shared hosting web servers and making PHP 8.2 the default PHP version.

Reason
Security support and updates for PHP 8.1 will end on the  31st December 2025.

How to change the version of PHP my website uses
You can now easily select the version of PHP (8.2 to 8.3) your website uses in the control panel. Refer to 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.
