# Using the PHP Selector in Cpanel & Modifying php.ini settings (CageFS)

Servers Australia offers CloudLinux licenses to better protect your server. This allows our customers full control of what PHP version they wish to use in a simple PHP selector box.

The PHP Selector lets you select a default PHP version, as well as the modules that will be available to users out of the box.

## PHP Selector

Inside cPanel, users can change their PHP version using **Select PHP Version**:

Inside the PHP Selector, you can use the dropdown menu to select your preferred PHP version:

You also have the ability to control which PHP extensions are enabled:
