PHP, which is a recursive backronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is among the most widely used open-source web programming languages available out there. Any site or web-based app written in PHP will run on a given server provided that a PHP module is installed, which renders the language really universal and it is scarcely a surprise that there are a few million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-driven sites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because of the fact that it permits you to create a responsive site with an immense number of features. A PHP-based social networking site, for instance, will serve different web content to each visitor despite the fact that the page URL will not change. By contrast, HTML-based sites are static and the page content itself can be edited only manually. Like any other software program, PHP has several versions and the one that was used while creating a particular website must be installed on the web server so that the site can run faultlessly.

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

We’ve decided not to restrict our present and future customers from picking what PHP version their sites will use, which suggests that if you get a web hosting plan from us, you will be able to choose between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account itself, but also for each individual domain name that you host. This can be accomplished with just one mouse click from our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel via which all shared web hosting accounts are managed, which is why you won’t need any technical or programming knowledge. You’ll be able to host sites built with both old and new PHP-based scripts without having to deal with any problems, so if you decide to swap your current web hosting vendor and switch over to us, you can be certain that all the websites that you have built throughout the years will continue to run impeccably.

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

We strongly believe that several years spent setting up a site should not be wasted, which goes to say that in case you order a semi-dedicated server from us, you’ll be able to run any script, regardless of whether it is new or old. In contrast to many hosting vendors, we support a number of different PHP versions on our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. Not only will you have the ability to activate the required version through your Hepsia Control Panel, but you’ll also have the option to specify a different PHP version for each website. This can be done merely by placing an .htaccess file into the root folder of the given site. You can change the version not only for a single site, but also for the entire account and the new settings will be applied in no more than a couple of minutes. With our hosting services, you can rest assured that you won’t ever run into any website incompatibility impediments.
