How do I update my version of PHP?

PHP needs to be updated. What do I do?

We make changing your version of PHP easy. Simply login to your hosting control panel at this address...
http://yourdomain.com/cpanel
(Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.)
If your login credentials fail, check the email we sent titled "Your Account Information".
Specifically under the section titled "Hosting Account Login Details".

Once logged in, click on the "MultiPHP Manager" icon.
Select your domain using the check box, choose a new PHP Version in the drop box, then click "Apply". We recommend using the ea- versions of PHP and only alt- versions under special circumstances.

You may now visit your website. A refresh may be required. In most cases you can force a clean refresh by holding the "Shift" button on your keyboard when refreshing the page.


If you need additional help, just contact Ultra support!
