EasyApache Supported PHP Versions

EasyApache supports installing different PHP versions depending on your chosen operating system. If you require an unsupported PHP version, we recommend CloudLinux, which offers a PHP selector system and additional PHP versions that may be end-of-life.

PHP End of Life

cPanel EasyApache will still install end-of-life versions of PHP. We highly recommend that if you require a specific end-of-life PHP version, you consider CloudLinux, as they continue to support end-of-life PHP versions, whereas cPanel EasyApache will continue to distribute the last released version before the end of life.

CloudLinux PHP Selector

CloudLinux offers a PHP selector that allows you to install current and end-of-life PHP versions, and for each cPanel user to control not only the PHP version their account/domains run, but also which PHP extensions they wish to have available. If you currently have CloudLinux enabled, please refer to our CloudLinux with cPanel Initial Configuration guide.
