PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, commonly known as PHP, is a famous multi-paradigm programming language, which is used to set up dynamic websites with interactive components such as discussion forums, e-learning sites or community sites. In contrast with static HTML-based websites, a PHP site can show different content to each user under the same page URL. Given the fact that PHP-based web-based apps can be managed through one single Control Panel tool, which you can log on to using any online browser, you will not need any coding abilities or practical experience whatsoever in order to run a PHP site. The fact that hundreds of millions of websites around the globe are built using PHP is an indication of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You must only check if the web server on which your site is hosted supports the same exact version of PHP as the one that you used while developing the site.

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

Our cloud website hosting servers support several versions of PHP, so your sites will run correctly no matter if your scripts are out of date. We know that an old website does not invariably equal an insecure one as you may have implemented lots of mods to its source code. That’s why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can choose which one will be enabled for your shared hosting account. You can change the version with just one click within your Hepsia Control Panel and the update will be applied momentarily. In case you wish to run both older and newer scripts, there’s even a possibility to use a different version of PHP for each domain of yours simultaneously.

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

In case you’ve got a website built with an older version of PHP and you have devoted time and efforts to developing it, filling safety breaches and publishing web page content, you’ll need a web hosting service that can support it, since the vast majority of web hosting suppliers these days offer only the newest PHP version and give up the earlier ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to permit you to select the exact version that your websites need. Our Linux semi-dedicated services support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which goes to say that you will be able to run both newer and older scripts without forfeiting any manual modifications or frittering away time and effort trying to make your websites compatible with the web hosting environment. You can change the version from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will affect the entire semi-dedicated server account, but you will also have the ability to pick a different PHP version for each site hosted in your account by means of an .htaccess file.
