PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, also known as PHP, is a famous server-side scripting language, which can be used to create dynamic sites with interactive elements such as forums, online teaching portals or community web portals. In comparison to static HTML websites, a PHP site can display unique content to each visitor under the same page URL. Considering the fact that PHP-based web apps can be managed through one Control Panel tool, which you can sign onto using any online browser, you will not need to have any web design knowledge or previous experience whatsoever in order to run a PHP-driven website. The fact that hundreds of millions of websites all over the globe are built using PHP is an indication of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You only have to make sure that the server where you host your website supports the same exact version of PHP as the one that you used whilst building the website.

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

With our shared website hosting services, you will be able to select the PHP version that will be enabled for your hosting account, as different versions are supported on our servers. With as little as one mouse click, you’ll be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and each time a new version is published in the future, we’ll include it in the Hepsia Control Panel without removing the earlier ones. Thus, you will be able to host all the sites that you have created over the years. In contrast to many other web hosting companies, we will not force you to update such websites, as a script may be outdated, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s insecure since you may have done modifications to its code to plug safety breaches. For the sake of your convenience, you will even be able to pick a different version of PHP for each single website hosted in your hosting account.

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

In case you’ve got a site created in a previous PHP version and you have devoted time and energy into developing it, plugging safety breaches and inputting page content, you will need a hosting service that can support it, since almost all hosting companies nowadays support only the latest version of PHP and remove the earlier ones. We, however, have decided to let you pick the version that your very own sites need. Our Linux semi-dedicated services support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which suggests that you’ll be able to run both newer and older scripts without forfeiting any custom tweaks or frittering away time and effort attempting to make your sites compatible with the hosting platform. You can change the version from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will apply to the entire semi-dedicated account, but you’ll also have the ability to pick a different version of PHP for each website that you host in your account by using an .htaccess file.
