PHP, which stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most commonly used open-source programming languages that are available out there. Any website or app created with PHP will run on a given server as long as a PHP module is installed, which makes the language really universal and it’s little surprise that there are actually a couple of million servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-driven sites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because of the fact that it allows you to set up a dynamic serving website with an abundance of different features. A PHP-based social networking site, for example, will show unique web content to each visitor in spite of the fact that the URL will remain the same. In contrast, HTML-based websites are static and the page content itself can be edited only manually. Just like any other software, PHP has several versions and the one that was used while creating a certain website must be present on the server in order for the site to work properly.

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

In case you purchase a shared hosting package from us, you won’t ever need to speculate if your sites are compatible with the hosting platform, as multiple PHP versions are installed on our servers for your convenience’s sake. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one single mouse click and in case you’d like to change the current version, the update will take effect right away. Thus, several years of work on sites built with an older version of PHP won’t be wasted. Our web hosting platform will even permit you to use a different version of PHP for each domain hosted in your account, which suggests that you can run newer and older scripts simultaneously. Most hosting companies on the marketplace offer one, sometimes two PHP versions. Unlike them, we strongly hold that you should be the one to select the version that your own websites will be using.

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

We’re steadfast in our conviction that years spent creating a site shouldn’t go down the tube, which implies that if you buy a semi-dedicated server from us, you will be able to use any script, regardless of whether it’s old or new. Unlike a lot of web hosting vendors, we support a number of different PHP versions on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. You will not only be able to enable the required version via your Hepsia Control Panel, but you will also have the option to select a different PHP version for each website. The latter can be accomplished merely by putting an .htaccess file into the given site’s root folder. You can change the current version either for a single site or for the entire account and the new settings will take effect in only a couple of minutes. With our hosting services, you can be sure that you won’t ever run into any site incompatibility predicaments.
