Got the php update notice from Hostgator. Watched your excellent video. Everything worked out just fine. Thank you!

Thank you for this easy to follow video guide! I started sweating after reading that I would have to update the php thing, but thanks to this video I could do it myself! Awesome!

Since HostGator has depracated versions 7.3 and 7.4, it would be nice to have an updated how-to video. This video was helpful except I only have the option to upgrade to 7.4 which is as I mentioned depracated. How do I get a newer version?

Thank you. A bit frustrating to see that I was on version 5.4 after buying a domain today, but this was helpful and I can now install my plugins.

Jonathan, as a total noob to the website world, I heeded the call from a compatibility checker and updated to 7.3 with only your help. I would say that as a non-pro like the others that listen to your help, I have had to stop you 20 times to get every step correct. But it worked out in the end no problem. My one correction for you is to move the article that has the code up to the first one listed so a person doesn't have to go through the other two to find the right one.

This video really helped me. I wasn't able to use the plugins i wanted to design my site because the PHP wasn't comparable. After doing this, i was able to install the plugins no problem. Thanks!
