Switching the PHP version in cPanel
On many of our newer servers, you can switch the PHP version through your cPanel. To learn how to change the PHP version, see our article on How to change the PHP version your account uses.
Upgrading on a VPS or Dedicated server
On VPS and Dedicated servers, you can upgrade the server PHP version through your WHM. For information on how to do this see our How to Upgrade PHP Using EasyApache article.
If you cannot change the PHP version in cPanel
If you do not have a VPS or Dedicated server and you cannot change the PHP version in cPanel then you will need to contact tech support to have your account moved to a server with a newer version of PHP. Moving your account to another server will not have any downtime. The account move is done by our systems support so no action is required on your end.
When submitting a ticket for this, please let them know what version of PHP you need and verify the account with the last 4 digits of the credit card on file and our systems support will move you ASAP.

Dear Hosting Provider,
I want my website to be as performant and secure as
possible with the latest version of PHP. For the server
my WordPress site is hosted on, I want to ensure that
is the case. If I am not already on the latest version
of PHP, please let me know what steps I need to take
to update.
Thanks!

Changing the PHP version installed on the server (source code) would require a VPS or Dedicated Server with root access. cPanel provides documentation for using EasyApache 4 to change the server’s PHP version. I hope this helps!
Same as Garret, can not see the EasyApache option. I’ve tried logging directly to WHM and through my CPanel and do not get the same WHM example images Inmotiong uses as examples. Need to upgrade to at least PHP 5.4.8.
Also tried to log in to support center (forgot username) but it gives an SMTP error from your site…?
Thanks
Please make sure you are logged in as the Root user.
On my VPS, EasyApache is not listed… now what?
Hello Garrett,
You have to be logged in as root to see the EasyApache option.
Best Regards,
