Managing MultiPHP Versions
GCom Internet makes available to hosting clients all production versions of PHP which have not yet reached end-of-life.
Via the MultiPHP manager of their cPanel, clients can freely change between available versions of PHP at any time for any of their hosted domains.
To Manage MultiPHP Versions
- Log in to cPanel.
- Find and click on the "MultiPHP Manager" icon.
- Locate the list of hosted domains.
- Tick the checkbox of any domains requiring a PHP version change.
- Select the desired version from the "PHP Version" dropdown list.
- Click on the "Apply" button.
Important
GCom Internet runs a high performance PHP-FPM handler incorporating a bytecode caching engine for PHP processing. This configuration was designed to allow websites to handle extremely strenuous loads in a shared hosting environment. With this configuration in place, the option of "inherit" for the PHP version is not applicable. Trying to apply "inherit" against a PHP-FPM serviced domain will be refused and simply result in a warning message.
