Supported PHP Versions
Arcline supports multiple PHP versions to accommodate different application requirements.
Shared hosting
On shared hosting plans, you can select your PHP version in cPanel under Software → Select PHP Version.
| Version | Status | End of Life | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8.3 | Active | 2026-12-31 | Recommended for new sites |
| 8.2 | Active | 2025-12-31 | Good stability |
| 8.1 | Security only | 2024-11-30 | Upgrade recommended |
| 8.0 | End of life | 2023-11-26 | Not recommended |
VPS plans
On VPS plans, you can install any PHP version from the system package manager or use a third-party repository like Ondřej Surý's PPA:
sudo apt install php8.3 php8.3-fpm php8.3-mysql
Switching PHP versions
In cPanel, go to Select PHP Version, choose the version you want, and click Set as current. Most WordPress sites will work on any PHP 8.x version without issues.
After switching, check your site thoroughly:
- If you see blank pages or errors, your application may not support the PHP version you selected
- WordPress 5.6+ supports PHP 8.x. WordPress 6.0+ requires PHP 7.4+
- Older plugins may not be compatible with PHP 8.x — check with the plugin developer
