Updated September 27, 2026 · 1 min read

With xCloud, you can select from various PHP versions depending on your server setup. This gives you the flexibility to support both older applications and newer PHP websites.

Check out the table below to learn PHP versions compatibility based on the server stack, operating system version, and whether they are supported on xCloud or not.

📌Notes

  • The default PHP version is 8.3. New sites use it unless you choose another supported version.
  • Ubuntu 20.04 is deprecated in xCloud. You can no longer create new servers or sites using it directly.
  • If you still need PHP 7.4 or Ubuntu 20.04, we recommend that you migrate to the latest Ubuntu version.
  • You can connect fresh Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, 24.04 or 26.04 LTS x64 servers from any provider to xCloud.
  • These servers support both NGINX and OpenLiteSpeed (OLS) stacks.
