PHP, which is an initialism for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is among the most widely used reflective programming languages that are available out there. Any website or Internet application built using PHP will run on a given server provided that a PHP module is activated, which renders the language truly universal and it is barely surprising that there are several million servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP websites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML owing to the fact that it permits you to build an interactive site with plenty of options. A PHP-based social networking website, for example, will display unique content to each user in spite of the fact that the URL will stay unchanged. In comparison, HTML sites are static and the page content can be modified only manually. Just like any other software, PHP has several versions and the version that was used while developing a given website must be available on the web server so that the site can run flawlessly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting servers support several versions of PHP, so your websites will work faultlessly no matter if your PHP scripts are outdated. We acknowledge the fact that an old website does not necessarily equal an insecure one as you may have performed plenty of modifications to its code. That is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which version will be enabled for your shared hosting account. The version can be changed with only one single click of the mouse via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the update will be applied immediately. If you’d like to run both older and newer scripts, there is even an option to use a different version of PHP for each of your domains simultaneously.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated packages support multiple PHP versions, which implies that you will be able to run all the applications that you have set up through the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with every semi-dedicated server account, will enable you to set the needed version with one single click. You can pick between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. In case you’d like to host multiple sites in one and the very same account and they have various requirements in relation to the web hosting platform, you will be able to choose a different PHP version for each of them no matter which version is selected for the account as a whole. That’s possible thanks to our in-house built cloud web hosting platform, which permits us to run multiple PHP versions at the same time. In comparison, the vast majority of web hosts typically support one, maximum two versions.
