PHP versions, extensions & modules

At HostPepper, our Linux servers are configured to include the most commonly used modules while ensuring optimal stability and performance.

PHP versions

All PHP web spaces are running the latest version of PHP 7.4, which is the version we recommend.

We always make sure your site is running the recommended and most compatible PHP-version. We do not recommend to change the version.

Change PHP version

If you want to change the PHP-version anyway, it can be done by adding the following directive to your .htaccess file.

You can access the .htaccess-file through our File Manager or using FTP. The file has to be named .htaccess. If the file does not exist, you can just create one.
