PHP, which is an initialism for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most commonly used open-source programming languages available out there. Any website or web-based application built using PHP will run on a given server on the condition that a PHP module is activated, which renders the language truly universal and it’s not really a surprise that there are actually several million servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-driven sites hosted on them. What makes PHP preferred over HTML is the fact that it allows you to set up an interactive website with a huge number of features. A PHP-based social networking site, for example, will display different content to each visitor although the page URL will remain the same. By contrast, HTML-based sites are static and the content on the pages can be updated only manually. Just like any other software, PHP has different versions and the one that was used whilst creating a given website must be present on the server so that the site can run properly.

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

If you buy a shared hosting plan from our company, you won’t ever have to speculate whether your websites are compatible with the web hosting environment, since we support several versions of PHP for your convenience. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single click of the mouse and in case you would like to change the version, the update will take effect momentarily. In this way, several years of work on websites created with an older version won’t be wasted. Our web hosting platform will even permit you to use a different PHP version for each domain hosted in your account, which suggests that you can use newer and older scripts simultaneously. Most web hosting companies on the market offer one, sometimes two PHP versions. Unlike them, we strongly think that you should be the one to choose the version that will be used by your very own sites.

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

It’s our unfaltering belief that years spent creating a site should not be wasted, which goes to say that in case you get a semi-dedicated server from us, you will be able to use any script, irrespective of whether it’s new or old. Unlike lots of companies, we support several different PHP versions on our ground-breaking cloud web hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. Not only will you have the ability to activate the needed version via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, but you’ll also have the possibility to specify a different PHP version for each individual website. The latter can be accomplished simply by putting an .htaccess file into the given site’s root directory. You can change the current version either for a single site or for the whole account and the change will take effect in only several minutes. With our hosting services, you can rest assured that you won’t ever chance upon any website incompatibility problems.
