How can I change the PHP version?

Updated this week

You can change the PHP version in your Webland hosting at any time – either for your entire hosting account or for specific directories.

This guide shows you step by step how to do it and what to keep in mind.


Change PHP Version – Step by Step

1. Log in to the System Configurator

Log in to the System Configurator with your customer number and password.

Then go to Webserver → Programming → PHP.




2. Change PHP Version for the Entire Hosting

Select your desired domain.
You’ll see the currently active PHP version.

Click on the new PHP version you want to use – the change usually takes effect within a few minutes.

3. Change PHP Version for a Specific Directory

If you want to use a different PHP version for certain directories:

  • Under your domain, choose Add Virtual Directory.

  • Create or select the desired directory.

  • Set the PHP version you want for this directory.


Important Notes

  • Changes usually take effect after a few minutes.

  • Make sure your applications are compatible with the selected PHP version.

  • If you see any errors after the change, check your PHP scripts or switch back to the previous version.

For more details, please refer to the System Configurator Manual.
