PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, otherwise referred to as PHP, is a famous dynamic programming language, which is used to develop dynamic sites with interactive components like discussion boards, school websites or social networking sites. In stark contrast to static HTML sites, a PHP-powered website can display different content to each user under the very same URL. Considering the fact that PHP-based Internet applications can be managed through one Control Panel, which you can sign into from any Internet browser, you will not need to have any web design knowledge or past experience whatsoever in order to run a PHP-driven website. The fact that hundreds of millions of sites all over the world are based on PHP is indicative of the popularity and the simplicity of use of the language. You only have to verify if the server on which your site is hosted supports the very same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst creating the website.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting servers support several versions of PHP, which goes to say that your sites will work without any problem even if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We acknowledge the fact that an old website doesn’t invariably equal a vulnerable one as you may have performed plenty of modifications to its source code. This is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which version will be active for your web hosting account. You can change the version with a single click via your Hepsia Control Panel and the new settings will take effect right away. In case you wish to run both older and newer scripts, there is even an option to use a different version of PHP for each of your domain names simultaneously.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you’ve got a website built on a previous PHP version and you have put time and effort into setting it up, filling security holes and entering content, you will need to find a web hosting service that can support it, since the vast majority of hosting vendors these days offer support only for the newest PHP version and abandon the earlier versions. We, on the other hand, have decided to permit you to choose the exact version that your sites need. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which implies that you’ll be able to use both newer and older scripts without losing any customizations or frittering away time and energy attempting to make your websites compatible with the hosting environment. You can change the version from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will affect the entire semi-dedicated account, but you’ll also be able to choose a different version for each individual site that you host in your account using an .htaccess configuration file.
