# How to change the version of php?

Ex2's latest servers give you the possibility to choose your [PHP](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/what-is-php-and-what-is-it-used-for-x4xvdq/?bust=1784054117446) version (5.3 - 5.4 - 5.5 - 5.6 - 7.0 - 7.1 - 7.2 - 7.3 - 7.4 - 8.0 - 8.1 and 8.2 ) that you want to use. It can be useful for third party applications, because sometimes they use a specific PHP version and they aren't compatible with the latest version of PHP.

For compatibily and security purposes, you can only use 1 version of PHP per client.

This functionality is available for everyone with a shared hosting plan. If you have a dedicated hosting plan and you want to use a PHP version that isn't offered on our cPanel, contact the support.
