Hello,

First you will have to make sure that your scripts, add-ons, plugins or themes (if you have such) are compatible with newer PHP versions. The incompatibility might "break" your website, however you can always revert the change and start using older PHP version again.

The trend shows constant improvement in site performance from PHP version 5.6 to 8.0, however this is just slight upgrade and not that much noticeable. You have to aim to use PHP versions compatible with your applications and scripts.

Hello.

Our system offers many different PHP versions from PHP4 to PHP8.3 which is still in development and could be selected and configured based on your needs via the Advanced > PHP Settings section in the control panel.
We do not offer website development services and your website optimization for different PHP versions depends on you and your website developers.

Thank you for understanding this matter.
