PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, otherwise called PHP, is a popular open-source web programming language, which can be used to build dynamic websites with interactive features such as message boards, e-teaching sites or social networking sites. In contrast to static HTML-based websites, a PHP site can display different web content to each visitor under the same page URL. Because PHP-based Internet apps can be managed through one Control Panel, which you can sign in to from any Internet browser, you won’t need any web design expertise or practical experience in order to maintain a PHP site. The fact that 100s of millions of sites all over the globe are created with PHP is indicative of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You must only verify whether the server on which your site is hosted supports the very same PHP version as the one that you used whilst creating the site.

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

Our cloud web hosting servers support several PHP versions, which goes to say that your sites will run without any problems no matter if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We know that an old website does not invariably suggest a vulnerable one as you may have implemented plenty of code modifications. This is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can select which version will be active for your shared web hosting account. You can change the version with just one click inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the new settings will take effect momentarily. In case you wish to run both newer and older scripts, there’s even an option to use a different PHP version for each domain name of yours at the same time.

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

In case you’ve got a website created with an older version of PHP and you have contributed time and efforts to setting it up, plugging security gaps and inserting web page content, you’ll need to find a web hosting service that can support it, as the majority of hosting providers these days offer only the most recently unveiled PHP version and drop the previous ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to permit you to select the version that your own sites need. Our semi-dedicated servers support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which means that you’ll be able to run both newer and older scripts without forfeiting any custom settings or wasting time and efforts trying to make your websites compatible with the web hosting platform. You can change the version through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such a change will affect the entire account, but you’ll also have the ability to pick a different version of PHP for each website that you host in your account using an .htaccess configuration file.
