PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, typically called PHP, is a popular web programming language, which can be used to set up dynamic websites with interactive elements such as forums, online learning portals or social networking sites. In comparison to static HTML-based sites, a PHP-driven site can show unique content to each visitor under the exact same page URL. Because of the fact that PHP-based web-based apps can be managed via a Control Panel tool, which you can log onto from any browser, you will not have to possess any web design abilities or previous experience in order to run a PHP-powered website. The fact that 100s of millions of sites worldwide are based on PHP is an indication of the popularity and the ease of use of the language. You only ought to verify if the server where you host your site supports the exact same PHP version as the one that you used whilst creating the site.

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

If you order a hosting plan from our company, you won’t ever have to ponder on whether your sites are compatible with the web hosting platform, since multiple versions of PHP are installed on our servers for the sake of your convenience. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to pick PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one single click of the mouse and if you wish to change the version, the new settings will be applied right away. Thus, years of work on sites created with an older PHP version will not be lost. Our web hosting platform will even permit you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, which means that you can run newer and older scripts at the same time. Most web hosting providers on the marketplace offer one, sometimes two PHP versions. In contrast to them, we reckon that you should be the one to pick the version that your very own sites will use.

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

Even if your websites were built with an earlier PHP version, you’ll be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support multiple versions running simultaneously on our servers and each one of them can be enabled for your account with just one click of the mouse via our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. Apart from the latest PHP 8, we also offer support for 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and the older PHP 4, which has already been abandoned by the vast majority of web hosting suppliers, but we strongly think that you shouldn’t be forced to modify a site that took years to develop, since older script language syntax does not automatically equal security vulnerabilities. Quite the opposite, a correctly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more secure than an inadequately maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience’s sake, we will also offer you the possibility to specify a different PHP version for each individual site within the account.
