PHP 7.3 series is now the default for new accounts

Posted May 8th, 2019 in Tech Corner. Tags: .

The PHP 7.3 series has been out long enough that all modern script software should be compatible with it, and the authors of popular scripts like WordPress recommend using it. Because of that, we’re making PHP 7.3 the default for new customers.

We haven’t changed the version for any existing accounts, but we recommend that all customers use PHP 7.3 if possible. PHP 7.3 is slightly faster than PHP 7.2 and around twice as fast as PHP 5. If you care about your site’s speed (and you should), always use the newest version of PHP that’s compatible with your scripts. Our Why Update PHP? page explains more about PHP version updates.
