PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, also referred to as PHP, is a popular general-purpose server-side coding language, which can be used to develop dynamic websites with interactive components like bulletin boards, e-teaching portals or community websites. In stark contrast to static HTML-based sites, a PHP site can display different web content to each user under the very same URL. Because of the fact that PHP-based Internet apps can be managed via a single Control Panel, which you can log onto using any Internet browser, you won’t have to possess any web design abilities or prior experience whatsoever to administer a PHP-powered website. The fact that 100s of millions of websites all over the world are created in PHP is an indication of the language’s popularity and simplicity of use. You only ought to confirm whether or not the server on which your site is hosted supports the same exact version of PHP as the one that you used whilst creating the site.

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

If you buy a shared hosting package from our company, you’ll never have to ask yourself if your sites are compatible with the web hosting platform, since we offer support for several versions of PHP for your convenience’s sake. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to pick PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single click of the mouse and if you wish to change the current version, the update will take effect instantaneously. Thus, years of work on websites created with an older PHP version will not go down the tubes. Our web hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, so you can run older and newer scripts at the same time. Most web hosting companies on the market offer one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In contrast with them, we strongly reckon that you should be the one to select the version that your own sites will use.

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

In case you’ve got a site built on an earlier PHP version and you have committed time and efforts toward developing it, filling safety holes and posting web content, you will need a hosting service that can support it, as nearly all web hosts these days support only the most recently published PHP version and remove the earlier versions. We, however, have decided to allow you to select the exact version that your sites need. Our semi-dedicated hosting support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which means that you will be able to use both newer and older scripts without forfeiting any manual settings or wasting time and effort striving to make your sites compatible with the hosting platform. You can change the current version from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will apply to the whole semi-dedicated server account, but you will also have the ability to select a different version for each individual website hosted in your account by using an .htaccess file.
