Hostlantern has implemented a unique server setup that allows each customer to choose which version of PHP to use for his / her account. What is more, the customer can even use different PHP versions for different directories in one and the same hosting account.
The PHP versions currently supported are: PHP 4.4 PHP 5.0, PHP 5.1, PHP 5.2, PHP 5.2 with Suhosin, PHP 5.3, PHP 5.4, PHP 5.5, PHP 5.6, and PHP 7.0 Beta 3.
It is really easy to change PHP versions for your website with a web hosting account with SiteGround. All you need to do is follow those step:
- Log in to cPanel for your account
- Go to 1H Software section -> PHP Version Manager
- Navigate to the directory you would like to change the PHP version for (note that the change will apply to sub-directories for it as well)
- Click on the directory name
- Select the desired PHP version and click Save
That is all.
