Switch PHP versions in cPanel

PosaHosting runs CloudLinux on shared hosting, which gives you two cPanel tools for PHP version management. Use Select PHP Version when every domain on the account should share one runtime, or MultiPHP Manager when individual domains need different versions.

1. Select PHP Version (account-wide)

This tool uses CloudLinux's hardened PHP builds and exposes per-version extensions and directives. It is the recommended default.

Access cPanel

Sign in at your cPanel URL with your hosting credentials.

Open the PHP selector

Search for Select PHP Version in the cPanel search bar, or browse to Software → Select PHP Version:

Apply a new version

Use the dropdown beside Current PHP version to pick the release you need. PosaHosting accounts support versions from PHP 4.4 through the latest stable release.

Click Apply to set the version for the entire cPanel account. Confirm the change with a PHP info page if you want to double-check the active runtime.

2. MultiPHP Manager (per domain)

When one domain must stay on PHP 7.4 while another runs PHP 8.3, MultiPHP Manager assigns versions individually without affecting sibling domains on the same account.

Access cPanel

Log in to cPanel as above.

Open MultiPHP Manager

Search for MultiPHP Manager or find it under Software:

Assign a version to a domain

Tick the checkbox next to the domain, then choose the desired PHP version from the PHP Version dropdown:

Click Apply to save. Verify with a PHP info page on the affected domain.
