Using Different PHP Version for Sub-Folders (Sub-domains and Add-on) in Shared Hosting

You can configure the server to use different PHP versions on your subdomains and directories by adding the SetHandler code in the .htaccess file of the folder to override the default PHP version.

For example, your website www.yourdomainname.com requires PHP version 5.6 and the application on your website which is stored at www.yourdomainname.com/application requires PHP version 7.0 to execute, follow these steps to configure the PHP versions for your subdomains or directories.

Adding a Subdomain on cPanel

You can create web addresses which are easier to remember based on the type of web page you want to display. Let's say you want to create a support page for your website. To do this you can create a subdomain such as support.yourdomain.com, it is easier to remember and you can create multiple subdomains depending on the function. Follow these steps to create a subdomain for your website with cPanel on your Linux Hosting order. 

Custom PHP Configuration

Custom PHP configuration is useful when you want to limit the system resource consumption by PHP scripts or meet the requirements of a certain web application.

When you set a parameter to the default value or do not specify the value, PHP will use the parameter value set in the server-wide PHP configuration.

If you'd like to check the list of most commonly used PHP directives, you can find that under  PHP directives section below.

Using a PHP Email Script

If you’re facing an issue with the contact form (email script) on your website, it is possible that your emails are getting blocked by our servers.

Why does this happen?

Traditionally, most email scripts you find online for contact forms are built with either a customizable or dynamic sender email address (email address filled in while filling the contact form) or do not carry an email address at all. On our shared servers, such email scripts do not work.

Why this restriction?

What is DNS Propagation

Whenever you modify any of the following information it takes time for them to display as most of the server's cache the website when it is resolved. 

  • WHOIS information like contact details etc. 
  • DNS records.
  • Name Servers.

These records remain active in the cache memory of the server based on the Time To Live (TTL) values set by you. So, even when you have updated the values the older records continue to live until the TTL value is reached and the server again checks for these records.
