Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 6:42 pm

PHP 5.6 is now over two years old and HostGator recommends that you update your PHP installation to the most recent version.

To update PHP 5.6 on HostGator, follow the steps below:.

Log in to your HostGator account. Click on the “My Account” link in the top navigation bar. Click on the “Software” tab. Click on the “PHP” link.

PRO TIP: If you are using HostGator to update your PHP version, be aware that there is a potential for breaking your website. This is because HostGator uses an older version of cPanel which does not support the latest versions of PHP. Make sure to create a full backup of your website before proceeding with this update.

Click on the “Update PHP” button. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update.

When you update your PHP installation, you will be prompted to restart your web server. Please do so in order to apply the updated PHP installation.

If you have any questions about updating your PHP 5.6 installation on HostGator, please contact our support team at support@HostGator.
