Platform · Multi-PHP
Four PHP versions.
One click to switch.
PHP 8.1 through 8.4 available on every plan, per site. OPcache and JIT pre-tuned for WordPress. Test the upgrade on staging, promote when you're ready, and roll back instantly if something breaks.
Default
PHP 8.4
Latest stable
Property hooks, asymmetric visibility, and ~10% faster than 8.3 on WordPress.
PHP 8.3
Most popular
Typed class constants, json_validate(). The current sweet-spot for most WordPress sites.
PHP 8.2
Long-term safe
Readonly classes, DNF types. Recommended if a critical plugin isn't 8.3-ready yet.
PHP 8.1
Legacy compat
Enums, fibers, readonly properties. Available for sites still pinned to older code.
What you get
PHP, the way it should ship.
Most hosts give you one PHP version and a long upgrade ticket. We give you four, switchable in seconds.
OPcache pre-tuned
256 MB OPcache shared per site, with file_cache enabled and revalidate_freq tuned for WordPress's update cadence.
JIT enabled (8.3+)
JIT compilation enabled in tracing mode for PHP 8.3+. Real-world WordPress workloads see 5–8% TTFB improvement on uncached pages.
Test on staging first
Bump the version on staging, verify your plugins, then promote. If something breaks, roll back the version with one command.
Common extensions included
imagick, redis, memcached, intl, gd, gmp, soap, zip, bcmath, sodium, all preloaded. Open a ticket if you need something exotic.
PHP-FPM per site
Each site has its own PHP-FPM pool with reserved workers. A heavy plugin on one site can't starve another's request queue.
Vs. the usual suspects
One version. Four versions.
