PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, commonly called PHP, is a popular class-based programming language, which is used to develop dynamic websites with interactive features such as forums, e-teaching sites or social networks. In contrast with static HTML-based sites, a PHP-powered site can display different web content to each user under the same page URL. Because of the fact that PHP-based apps can be managed via a Control Panel, which you can sign onto from any online browser, you won’t need to possess any web development abilities or previous experience whatsoever in order to run a PHP-powered website. The fact that hundreds of millions of websites all over the world are built with PHP is indicative of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You only have to ensure that the server where you host your site supports the same PHP version as the one that you used while creating the website.

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

With our web hosting, you’ll be able to pick the PHP version that will be enabled for your shared account, as several versions are enabled on our servers. With just one click of the mouse, you will be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and every time a new version is launched in the future, we’ll include it in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the earlier versions. In this way, you’ll be able to host all the sites that you have built through the years. Unlike a lot of other web hosting companies, we will not force you to update such websites, as a script may be outdated, but this doesn’t automatically mean that it is vulnerable as you may have carried out modifications to its source code to fix safety breaches. For your convenience’s sake, you will even be able to choose a different version of PHP for each site that you host in your account.

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

If you have a website built using an older version of PHP and you have put time and efforts into setting it up, patching security gaps and embedding web page content, you will need a web hosting service that can support it, since the great majority of web hosting suppliers today support only the most recently unveiled PHP version and remove the previous versions. We, on the other hand, have decided to permit you to select the version that your own sites require. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting 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 manual tweaks or wasting time attempting to make your sites compatible with the web hosting platform. The current version can be changed through the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will apply to the whole semi-dedicated server account, but you will also be able to choose a different PHP version for each individual website that you host in your account by means of an .htaccess file.
