PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, usually called PHP, is a famous programming language, which can be used to create dynamic websites with interactive features like message boards, online learning websites or social networks. In stark contrast to static HTML websites, a PHP-powered website can display different content to each user under the exact same page URL. Since PHP-based web-based apps can be managed through one single Control Panel tool, which you can sign on to using any online browser, you won’t need to have any computer programming knowledge or previous experience whatsoever to administer a PHP-driven site. The fact that 100s of millions of sites all over the globe are built with PHP is indicative of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You only need to check if the web server on which your site is hosted supports the same exact version of PHP as the one that you used while creating the website.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Hosting
Our hosting servers support several versions of PHP, which implies that your websites will work flawlessly even if your PHP scripts are outdated. We realize that an old site does not always imply an insecure one as you may have done lots of source code mods. This is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can choose which one will be enabled for your shared hosting account. You can change the version with just one single mouse click within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the new settings will take effect immediately. In case you would like to run both older and newer scripts, there’s even a possibility to use a different version of PHP for each domain name of yours at the same time.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
Even in case your sites were built with an earlier version of PHP, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, since we support multiple versions running simultaneously on our semi-dedicated servers and each one of them can be activated for your account with just a click of the mouse through our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Besides the most recent PHP 8, we also offer support for 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and the older PHP 4, which has already been dropped by most hosting providers, but we strongly consider that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a site that took years to build, as older script language syntax doesn’t necessarily suggest safety breaches. Quite the opposite, a properly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more reliable than a negligently maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we’ll also provide you with the possibility to choose a different version of PHP for each website within the account.
