PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, also known as PHP, is a famous open-source server-side programming language, which can be used to build dynamic websites with interactive features such as forums, online learning websites or community websites. In contrast with static HTML websites, a PHP-powered website can serve unique web content to each user under the same exact page URL. Because PHP-based web-based applications can be managed via a Control Panel tool, which you can log onto from any browser, you will not have to possess any web development abilities or prior experience whatsoever in order to run a PHP-driven website. The fact that hundreds of millions of sites around the world are based on PHP is indicative of the popularity and the simplicity of use of the language. You only ought to check if the server where you host your site supports the exact same PHP version as the one that you used whilst creating the website.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Web Hosting

If you order a shared web hosting plan from us, you’ll never have to think about whether your sites are compatible with the hosting platform, since we support several versions of PHP for your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one click and in case you would like to change the current version, the new settings will take effect instantly. Thus, years of work on websites created with an older PHP version will not go down the tubes. Our hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, which suggests that you can use newer and older scripts simultaneously. Most web hosting providers on the market support one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In stark contrast with them, we are convinced that you should be the one to choose the version that your own websites will be using.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you’ve got a website built with a previous PHP version and you’ve contributed time and effort into developing it, plugging security gaps and posting page content, you will need a hosting service that can support it, since the majority of hosting vendors these days support only the most recent version of PHP and give up the earlier ones. We, however, have decided to let you pick the exact version that your own websites require. Our semi-dedicated plans support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which means that you will be able to run both older and newer scripts without losing any manual settings or misspending time and energy striving to make your websites compatible with the web hosting environment. The version can be changed via the Hepsia Control Panel and such an update will apply to the entire semi-dedicated server account, but you will also have the ability to select a different version for each individual site that you host in your account by using an .htaccess configuration file.
