PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, typically referred to as PHP, is a famous interpreted programming language, which can be used to create dynamic sites with interactive features such as discussion forums, online teaching sites or social networking websites. In stark contrast with static HTML websites, a PHP website can serve different web content to each visitor under the same page URL. As PHP-based Internet apps can be managed via a Control Panel, which you can log in to from any online browser, you will not need to have any computer programming experience or prior experience in order to run a PHP-powered website. The fact that hundreds of millions of sites all over the globe are built using PHP is indicative of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You should only check if the server on which your site is hosted supports the exact same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst developing the site.

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

If you get a cloud hosting plan from our company, you won’t ever need to ponder if your sites are compatible with the hosting platform, since multiple versions of PHP are supported 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 click and in case you’d like to change the version, the new settings will be applied momentarily. Thus, several years of work on websites built with an older version will not go down the tubes. Our web hosting platform will even allow you to use a different version of PHP for each domain hosted in your account, which implies that you can run older and newer scripts at the same time. Most hosting providers on the market offer support for one, sometimes for two versions of PHP. In contrast with them, we strongly think that you should be the one to select the version that will be used by your own websites.

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

If you’ve got a site built on an earlier PHP version and you’ve committed time and effort towards developing it, filling safety gaps and entering web page content, you’ll need to find a web hosting service that can support it, as the great majority of web hosting vendors these days offer support only for the most recently unveiled PHP version and drop the previous ones. We, however, have decided to permit you to select the version that your very own sites need. Our Linux semi-dedicated packages 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 forfeiting any custom tweaks or frittering away time and energy striving to make your websites compatible with the web hosting platform. You can change the current version via the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will affect the entire account, but you will also be able to pick a different version of PHP for each single site that you host in your account using an .htaccess file.
