Hostdeko follows the official PHP EOL table to determine the primary php version.
Cloud servers:
- php1 (default): PHP 8.1
- php2: (legacy): PHP 7.4
- php3: (modern): PHP 8.2
Pro servers:
- php1 (default): PHP 7.4
- php2 (legacy): PHP 5.6
- php3(modern): PHP 8.0
- php4 (future): PHP 8.1
Power servers:
- php1 (default): PHP 8.1
- php2: (legacy) PHP 7.4
- php3 (modern): PHP 8.2
- php4 (future): PHP 8.3 (no ioncube support!)
The default php will often be the version that is not under active development but is receiving security updates. The legacy version will be an older version for clients with compatability issues. The modern and future versions are under active development.
