PHP, which is a recursive initialism for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most widely used server-side coding languages out there. Any site or web app built using PHP will run on a given server on the condition that a PHP module is enabled, which makes the language truly universal and it’s not really that surprising that there are a couple of million servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-powered websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it allows you to set up an interactive website with tons of features. A PHP-based social network, for instance, will serve different content to each user although the URL will remain the same. In contrast, HTML websites are static and the content on the pages can be modified only manually. Like any other software, PHP has several versions and the one that was used whilst developing a particular website must be installed on the web server in order for the site to work flawlessly.

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

With our Linux hosting, you will be able to pick the version of PHP that will be enabled for your account, as we support several versions. With as little as one click of the mouse, you’ll be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and whenever a new version is released in the future, we will add it to the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the earlier ones. In this way, you’ll be able to host all the sites that you’ve built throughout the years. In contrast to many other companies, we won’t compel you to update such websites, as a script may be outdated, but this does not automatically mean that it is insecure since you may have carried out modifications to its code to prevent safety loopholes. For the sake of your convenience, you’ll even be able to specify a different PHP version for each website that you host in your shared hosting account.

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

We unvaryingly believe that several years spent building a site shouldn’t be lost, which suggests that in case you order a semi-dedicated server from our company, you will be able to use any script, irrespective of whether it is new or old. Unlike a lot of hosting providers, we support several different PHP versions on our state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. You will not only have the ability to enable the needed version from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, but you’ll also have the possibility to select a different PHP version for each single website. The latter can be accomplished simply by inserting an .htaccess file into the given site’s root directory. You can change the version either for a single website or for the account itself and the update will take effect in no more than a few minutes. With our web hosting services, you can rest assured that you won’t ever confront any site incompatibility problems.
