Changing Your PHP Language Version

NOTE: This content only applies to our Linux shared hosting accounts running Hosting Configuration 2.0.

PHP is automatically added to your hosting account. However, you can choose the version you’d like to use.

To Change Your Default PHP Language

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. In the My Products section, select Hosting.
3. Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Manage Account.
4. In the Content section of the Hosting Control Center, click the Languages icon.
5. Select PHP version you'd like to set as the default.
6. Click Continue.
7. Verify the listed changes, and then click Update.

Your Language change is submitted. Please allow up to 24 hours for the change to be processed by the hosting server.

NOTE: Although PHP 5 is the most current version, many applications still require version 4. Therefore, making this update may cause some of your PHP files to run incorrectly.
