<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price is not affected by how many websites on your hosting account are using older PHP versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why we’re adjusting the price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to continue offering a secure and seamless experience when using older PHP versions, we need to adjust the price. These versions no longer receive official updates from PHP.net, which increases the demands on our end in terms of technical management and security. The price adjustment enables us to continue offering a reliable service, even if you\u2019re not yet able to upgrade your PHP version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: Upgrade to a newer PHP version and avoid the cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We recommend upgrading to PHP 8.2 or higher. PHP 8.1 will stop receiving security updates from PHP.net on December 31, 2025. If you\u2019re using WordPress, it\u2019s always a good idea to update WordPress, your theme, and plugins to the latest versions before switching PHP versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can easily test a newer PHP version in your control panel by clicking the three dots next to your website and selecting Preview website compatibility<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What PHP version do I have today?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can easily see which domains use older PHP versions in your Websupport Webadmin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not want extended PHP support, how do I turn off the add-on?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To avoid exposing your website to security risks, we recommend updating to PHP 8.2 or a later version if you don\u2019t want to use our extended PHP support. If you do not want to use the extended PHP functionality, please log in to your Websupport account and move your websites to PHP 8.2 or higher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please be aware that you might need to update the code on your website in order to make it work on newer PHP versions. Scroll down in this document for information about how to update your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to turn the add-on:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Log in to your Websupport Webadmin control panel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Move any websites or cron jobs to PHP 8.2 or higher \u2013 see detailed instructions below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. In the overview, click on your Web hosting package.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Click on \u201cDisable extended PHP support\u201d and confirm the change. This can only be done if the websites, redirects, or cron jobs are using a PHP version newer than 8.1.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    After this, you will not be billed for the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Can I switch to a later PHP version?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Absolutely! You can easily switch to a current PHP version in a few seconds in your Websupport Webadmin. Feel free to follow this guide<\/a> if you need help updating PHP. We recommend updating to PHP 8.2 or later if you do not want to use the extended PHP support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What do I do if it doesn\u2019t work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Should something not work after the change, you can quickly and easily switch back to the previous version. Fix any problems by solving them yourself or asking a developer for help. You can refer to one of the following guides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
