PHP versions, extentions & modules

On Simply.com's Linux servers we aim to have the most popular modules installed and at the same time maintain the stability and speed of the specific servers.

If you are interested to see our standard settings and modules on our servers, you can do that in phpinfo(), You will find an example here: http://linux1.unoeuro.com/phpinfo.php

PHP versions

You can change the PHP version for your product through our Control Panel.

Change PHP version for a specific folder/hostname

If you want to use a specific PHP version, you can change it by adding a directive to your .htaccess file.
You can access the .htaccess file through our File Manager or by using FTP. If the file does not exist, you can just create one.
