PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, otherwise called PHP, is a popular web development language, which is used to create dynamic sites with interactive components like Internet forums, online teaching websites or community web portals. In contrast with static HTML websites, a PHP site can show different web content to each visitor under the very same URL. Due to the fact that PHP-based apps can be managed through one single Control Panel tool, which you can log onto using any web browser, you won’t need any web design skills or previous experience to administer a PHP website. The fact that hundreds of millions of websites all over the globe are based on PHP is an indication of the popularity and the ease of use of the language. You must only check whether or not the web server on which your website is hosted supports the very same PHP version as the one that you used while setting up the site.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting servers support different PHP versions, which goes to say that your websites will run faultlessly even if your PHP-based scripts are outdated. We know that an old site does not necessarily equal a vulnerable one as you may have carried out a lot of mods to its code. That’s why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can decide which version will be enabled for your account. The version can be changed with only one single click via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the new settings will be applied straight away. In case you wish to run both newer and older scripts, there is even an option to use a different version of PHP for each of your domain names simultaneously.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you’ve got a website based on an earlier PHP version and you’ve donated time and energy towards setting it up, filling safety gaps and inserting web content, you will need to find a web hosting service that can support it, since almost all hosting providers nowadays offer only the newest version of PHP and remove the previous ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to let you pick the version that your sites require. Our Linux semi-dedicated packages support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, so you will be able to run both newer and older scripts without losing any custom modifications or wasting time and effort trying to make your sites compatible with the hosting platform. You can change the current version via the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will apply to the entire semi-dedicated account, but you will also have the ability to specify a different PHP version for each individual site hosted in your account by means of an .htaccess config file.
