cPanel’s MultiPHP Manager interface allows you to easily manage your account’s PHP configuration. In this interface, you can manage the PHP version or pool option of any virtual host.

• The system PHP version refers to version of PHP that functions as the global default for all accounts. Only the system administrator can set the system PHP version. Any primary domain that is set to Inherit uses the system PHP version. For more information, read our PHP Inheritance documentation.

• PHP FastCGI Process Manager (PHP-FPM) is an alternative PHP module that allows a website to handle strenuous loads on sites. PHP-FPM maintains pools (workers that respond to PHP requests) to accomplish this. These pools of workers allow the website to handle more requests than it normally could.
