PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, commonly called PHP, is a popular object-oriented programming language, which is used to set up dynamic sites with interactive elements such as forums, e-learning sites or community websites. In stark contrast with static HTML-based websites, a PHP-driven site can serve unique content to each visitor under the exact same page URL. Due to the fact that PHP-based Internet apps can be managed via one Control Panel, which you can sign into from any browser, you will not have to possess any web design skills or previous experience in order to administer a PHP website. The fact that 100s of millions of websites all over the world are created in PHP is an indication of the popularity and the simplicity of use of the language. You only have to confirm whether or not the server where you host your website supports the exact same version of PHP as the one that you used while creating the site.

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

Our cloud website hosting servers support several PHP versions, which means that your sites will work without any problem no matter if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We realize that an old site does not always suggest a vulnerable one as you may have carried out plenty of source code mods. That is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can select which one will be enabled for your account. The version can be changed with just one single click inside your Hepsia Control Panel and the new settings will be applied instantly. If you would like to run both newer and older scripts, there’s even an option to use a different version of PHP for each of your domain names at the same time.

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

In case you have a website based on an older version of PHP and you have put time and energy towards setting it up, repairing security loopholes and publishing web content, you will need to find a hosting service that can support it, since the majority of hosting providers nowadays offer support only for the most recently released version of PHP and abandon the previous versions. We, on the other hand, have decided to allow you to choose the version that your own sites require. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which suggests that you will be able to use both older and newer scripts without losing any manual tweaks or frittering away time and energy striving to make your websites compatible with the hosting platform. You can change the current version via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will affect the whole semi-dedicated account, but you will also have the ability to choose a different version for each website that you host in your account using an .htaccess file.
