PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, typically referred to as PHP, is a famous open-source server-side scripting language, which is used to create dynamic sites with interactive features such as discussion boards, online teaching portals or community sites. In comparison with static HTML sites, a PHP-driven site can serve different content to each user under the same exact page URL. Considering the fact that PHP-based Internet apps can be managed through a Control Panel tool, which you can sign onto using any web browser, you will not need to have any web development skills or prior experience whatsoever to maintain a PHP-driven site. The fact that hundreds of millions of websites around the globe are created using PHP is indicative of the popularity and the simplicity of use of the language. You only need to verify if the server on which your website is hosted supports the exact same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst setting up the site.

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

In case you get a shared hosting plan from us, you’ll never need to think about whether your sites are compatible with the hosting platform, since we offer support for several PHP versions for the sake of your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to pick 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 current version, the new settings will take effect instantly. In this way, many years of work on websites built with an older PHP version won’t be wasted. Our hosting platform will even permit you to use a different version of PHP for each domain name hosted in your account, which suggests that you can run newer and older scripts at the same time. Most web hosting providers on the market support one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In stark contrast to them, we think that you should be the one to pick the version that will be used by your very own websites.

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

We are of the firm opinion that several years spent setting up a site should not go down the tube, which implies that in case you order a semi-dedicated server from us, you will be able to use any script, regardless of whether it is old or new. In contrast with many web hosting suppliers, we support a number of different versions of PHP on our cutting-edge cloud platform – 4, 5 and 7. Not only will you be able to activate the required version through your Hepsia Control Panel, but you will also have the option to pick a different version for each single website. This can be accomplished simply by placing an .htaccess file inside the root directory of the given site. You can change the current version either for a single site or for the entire account and the new settings will take effect in less than several minutes. With our web hosting services, you can be sure that you won’t ever face any site compatibility issues.
