You can change the PHP version in the Select PHP Version section in cPanel or DirectAdmin (for SEO Hosting service).

Use multiple PHP versions on one hosting plan

Only applicable to Hosting services using cPanel.

If you have multiple domains on a hosting package and want to use each domain name as a PHP version, you can set it up by accessing the MultiPHP Manager section on the cPanel interface.

Here you will see a list of domains in use on the host. If you want to set the PHP version for any domain name, click on that domain name and select the PHP version you need to set up in the upper right column.

Note: Domains that choose the Inherited version will use the version set by default at Select PHP Version.

To set up extensions for used PHP versions for domains, you can set them up in the Select PHP Version section as instructed above (don’t press the Set as current button).

Wishing you success!
