## Shared hosting
|
|
|
|
On shared hosting plans, you can select your PHP version in cPanel under **Software → Select PHP Version**.
|
|
|
|

## 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](https://deb.sury.org/):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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
|
