PHP, which is a meta-acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most commonly used web development languages out there. Any site or web application created with PHP will run on a given server as long as a PHP module is installed, which makes the language absolutely universal and it is by no means surprising that there are several million servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-powered sites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML thanks to the fact that it permits you to develop a dynamic serving site with a myriad of features. A PHP-based social networking site, for instance, will serve different web content to each visitor regardless of the fact that the page URL won’t change. In comparison, HTML-based websites are static and the page content itself can be edited only manually. Just like any other software program, PHP has several versions and the one that was used whilst setting up a particular website must be configured on the web server so that the site can run correctly.

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

In case you purchase a web hosting plan from our company, you will never need to ponder if your websites are compatible with the web hosting platform, as different PHP versions are supported on our servers for your convenience’s sake. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to pick PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one single click of the mouse and in case you’d like to change the version, the update will take effect momentarily. In this way, many years of work on websites built with an older version won’t go down the drain. Our hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, so you can use newer and older scripts at the same time. Most hosting providers on the marketplace offer one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In contrast with them, we strongly reckon 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 Servers

We are unswerving in our conviction that years spent developing a site should not go down the tubes, which means that if you get a semi-dedicated server from our company, you will be able to run any script, irrespective of whether it is old or new. In stark contrast to a lot of web hosting suppliers, we support several different PHP versions on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. You will not only have the ability to enable the required version via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, but you’ll also have the option to pick a different version for each website. This can be done simply by putting an .htaccess file inside the given site’s root folder. You can change the current version either for a single site or for the entire account and the change will take effect in just several minutes. With our web hosting services, you can be sure that you will never confront any website incompatibility impediments.
