This is possible through a feature called MultiPHP Manager, which allows PHP versions to be set on a per-domain basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are PHP Per-Domain Settings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, all domains on a hosting account may share the same PHP version. PHP per-domain settings allow each domain or subdomain to run on a different PHP version independently. This is useful when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One site requires an older PHP version for compatibility with legacy plugins or applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A newer site requires a more recent PHP version<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are migrating sites gradually between PHP versions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Hosting Plans Support This?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PHP per-domain settings are available on <strong>cPanel Reseller hosting plans<\/strong>.

To request this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Raise a support ticket<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include the following information:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your reseller account username<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The domain(s) or subdomain(s) that require a different PHP version<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The PHP version required for each domain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team will enable the feature and confirm once it is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After the Feature Is Enabled<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once enabled, you can manage PHP versions for individual domains directly from your <strong>cPanel WHM<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in to <strong>cPanel<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navigate to <strong>Software<\/strong> then click <strong>MultiPHP Manager<\/strong> and select <strong>User Domain Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the domain or subdomain you wish to update<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the required PHP version from the dropdown<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Apply<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-12-1024x427.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-12-1024x427.png 1024w, https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-12-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-12-768x320.png 768w, https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-12-770x321.png 770w, https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-12.png 1049w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-13-1024x460.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-13-1024x460.png 1024w, https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-13-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-13-768x345.png 768w, https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-13-1536x690.png 1536w, https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-13-770x346.png 770w, https:\/\/kb.freethought.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/image-13.png 1557w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Changes take effect immediately without requiring a server restart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need Further Help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience any issues after changing PHP versions, such as a site displaying errors, this may indicate a compatibility issue between the site&#8217;s code or plugins and the selected PHP version.
