Ability to adjust PHP Version to 8.x or Above

For WordPress hosting, there are multiple plugins that require new versions of PHP in order to operate correctly.

Currently, the default PHP version is 7.4, and we need the ability to use PHP 8.0 and above in order to serve client sites and customization needs adequately.

I need this! I just transferred my website and found out my theme wasn't compatible due to this issue. I would love it if I could have it hosted on GHL

Joshua Butrum

Agreed! With that being said... v7.4 should not be the default anymore, it is no longer getting security updates.

Robert Diaz

We also need to know the # of PHP workers and memory our plan has and what happens when we go over these limits. We are being kept in the dark here.

Robert Diaz

This is critical. We need it!

Robert Cekay

Still no updates?

James Bullis

Cloudways just rolled 8.3.

Hoping GHL team can do something about this and help in updating the PHP. This is a crucial thing

Not having PHP on latest stable is a deal breaker. Being locked into 7.4 is HIGH RISK due to loop holes and security vulnerabilities. Not to mention SPEED. PHP 8.x has considerably faster performance and clients need this as Google actively penalizes slow sites.
