Manage advanced PHP functions for a web hosting account

Update 08/07/2026

This guide explains how to enable the following functions on Web Hosting (in italics, Managed Cloud Server only):

proc_open
popen
exec()
shell_exec()
set_time_limit
passthru
system

These functions are disabled by default because they pose a significant security risk if a website is hacked. Only enable them if absolutely necessary (for a script or CMS such as ImageMagick, Typo3, CraftCMS, etc.).
