Rochen is pleased to announce the availibility of PHP 7.1 as of several weeks ago. In addition to PHP 7.1 we continue to offer PHP 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 7.0, with 7.0 being the default. You can find more information regarding PHP 7.1 in the PHP Group’s official PHP 7.1 documentation.
Premium Web Hosting (PWH) customers can easily select the PHP version they wish to use on a per site basis via the “PHP Selector” option within cPanel. Managed Cloud Servers (MCS) customers with the Cloud Linux operating system installed can also do the same.
