We highly recommend using the most up-to-date version available that is compatible with your scripts. Many of our servers have legacy PHP versions, which will not be guaranteed on current or future servers. The chart below shows the versions of PHP installed on newly provisioned servers.
All shared servers are updated with the versions of PHP listed below, even legacy servers, though a legacy version of PHP may be the default. A VPS or Dedicated server will have the version of PHP, which was default at the time of provisioning, and must request an upgrade as a PHP version change can cause errors, and we will not do this automatically.
