We’re happy to announce we now officially support PHP 7.4 on all our shared, reseller and semi-dedicated and cloud web hosting services. PHP 7.4 is the fourth point release in the 7.x series and it comes with many outstanding improvements and new features.

Typed Properties
Arrow Functions
Limited Return Type Covariance and Argument Type Contravariance
Unpacking Inside Arrays
Numeric Literal Separator
Weak References
Allow Exceptions from __toString()
Several Deprecations

PHP 7.4 also like all previous releases contains performance improvements which depending on your application may be noticeable. We however highly recommend checking your applications requirements and then testing using our PHP selector to make sure your application is PHP 7.4 compatible.

To enable PHP 7.4 all you need to do is login to cPanel go to ‘Select PHP Version’. On the ‘Select PHP Version’ page you’ll pick PHP 7.4 from the drop down and set it as your current PHP version. After this you’ll be able to manage extensions as you would for any PHP version we offer and your entire account will use PHP 7.4.
