Changing PHP Version

1

Log in to cPanel

Access your cPanel account through the OnetSolutions dashboard.
2

Open PHP Manager

Locate and click on “MultiPHP Manager” or “Select PHP Version” in the Software section.
3

Select your domain

In the PHP Manager interface, you’ll see a list of your domains and subdomains. Check the box next to the domain you want to modify.
4

Choose PHP version

Use the “PHP Version” dropdown menu at the top-right to select your desired version.
5

Apply changes

Click “Apply” to save your changes. The new PHP version takes effect immediately.
Before changing PHP versions, ensure your website’s code and applications are compatible with the new version to avoid errors.

​
Available PHP Versions

PHP follows a 4-year support cycle: 2 years of active support, then 2 years of security-only fixes. Pick a version that is still supported upstream — running an end-of-life branch means no more security patches. These branches receive both bug fixes and security patches. Use them for new projects.

​
Security support only

These branches still receive security fixes but no new features or non-security bug fixes. Safe for existing applications, but plan your upgrade before the EOL date.

​
End of life — do not use

These branches no longer receive any updates, including security fixes. If you are still running one of them, migrate as soon as possible.
  • PHP 8.1 (EOL since Dec 31, 2025)
  • PHP 8.0 (EOL since Nov 26, 2023)
  • PHP 7.4 (EOL since Nov 28, 2022)
For new projects, choose PHP 8.5 or PHP 8.4. Check the official PHP supported versions page to track upstream changes.
