Display or Change PHP Versions

For Linux Web Hosting and Managed Dedicated Server packages

In this article, we will show you how to find and change the active PHP version for your domain(s) or website(s).

• Log into your IONOS account.
• Click Menu > Hosting in the title bar. If you have multiple contracts, select the desired Hosting contract.

• In the PHP tile, click Open to view your PHP Settings.

• In the PHP Settings you can see an overview of your domains and the PHP versions assigned to them.

• Click on the domain for which you want to change the PHP version.
  
  Tip: To change several domains to the same PHP version at the same time, simply select the corresponding checkboxes and then click Select PHP version.

• Now select the desired PHP version.

• Current PHP versions: In this section you will find the versions of PHP that are still actively maintained by the PHP community. The corresponding updates will be installed by us immediately so that you always have the latest version. You can use all current versions free of charge with us.
• Outdated PHP versions: Here you will find older PHP versions for which support by the PHP community has already expired, and so we provide security updates independently. If your website software requires one of these versions, you can order it as part of the paid PHP Extended Support feature by simply clicking on the appropriate link and following the instructions. Once you have placed your order, it may take a few minutes before you can select the appropriate version. You may have to reload the page.

• Click Save to activate the selected PHP version.

The selected PHP version has now been activated. This may take a moment to take effect.
