PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, popularly referred to as PHP, is a popular object-oriented programming language, which can be used to create dynamic websites with interactive features like message boards, e-teaching websites or community sites. Unlike static HTML-based sites, a PHP-driven website can display unique web content to each visitor under the very same page URL. Due to the fact that PHP-based web-based applications can be managed through one Control Panel, which you can access from any online browser, you will not need any computer programming experience or prior experience whatsoever in order to run a PHP website. The fact that hundreds of millions of sites worldwide are based on PHP is an indication of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You should only make sure that the server on which your site is hosted supports the same exact version of PHP as the one that you used whilst creating the website.

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

If you order a cloud hosting package from our company, you will never need to ponder over whether your websites are compatible with the web hosting platform, since different PHP versions are available on our servers for your convenience. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one click of the mouse and in case you wish to change the current version, the update will take effect momentarily. In this way, many years of work on websites built with an older version of PHP will not go down the drain. Our hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, which suggests that you can run older and newer scripts at the same time. Most web hosting providers on the marketplace offer support for one, sometimes for two PHP versions. Unlike them, we strongly hold that you should be the one to choose the version that your own sites will be using.

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

If you have a website based on an older version of PHP and you’ve put time and energy toward setting it up, patching safety holes and posting web content, you will need a web hosting service that can support it, since the majority of web hosting suppliers today offer only the most recent PHP version and give up the previous versions. We, however, have decided to allow you to pick the version that your own websites need. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which means that you will be able to use both older and newer scripts without losing any manual tweaks or wasting time and efforts struggling to make your sites compatible with the hosting environment. You can change the version from the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will apply to the entire semi-dedicated server account, but you’ll also be able to choose a different PHP version for each website that you host in your account by using an .htaccess file.
