PHP, which is a recursive initialism for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most commonly used object-oriented programming languages that are available out there. Any site or web-based app built using PHP will run on a given web server provided that a PHP module is installed, which renders the language really universal and it’s not really a huge surprise that there are a couple of million servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-driven websites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it allows you to create a responsive website with tons of features. A PHP-based community portal, for example, will show different web content to each user even though the page URL will stay the same. In contrast, HTML-based websites are static and the page content itself can be modified only manually. Just like any other software, PHP has several versions and the version that was used while creating a certain website must be present on the server in order for the site to behave correctly.

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

In case you order a hosting package from our company, you will never have to speculate over whether your sites are compatible with the web hosting environment, as we offer several versions of PHP for your convenience’s sake. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to pick PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single mouse click and in case you need to change the version, the update will be applied instantly. Thus, several years of work on websites created with an older PHP version won’t go down the drain. Our web hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, so you can use older and newer scripts simultaneously. Most hosting companies on the market offer support for one, sometimes for two versions of PHP. In stark contrast to them, we maintain that you should be the one to choose the version that your own websites will use.

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

We are unswerving in our conviction that several years spent setting up a site shouldn’t go down the drain, which goes to say that if you buy 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 lots of web hosts, we support a number of different versions of PHP on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting 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 PHP version for each individual website. The latter can be accomplished merely by inserting an .htaccess file in the root directory of the given site. You can change the current version both for a single site and for the entire account and the new settings will take effect in less than a couple of minutes. With our web hosting services, you can be sure that you won’t ever face any website compatibility hindrances.
