PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, popularly known as PHP, is a popular server-side scripting language, which is used to create dynamic websites with interactive features like forums, e-teaching portals or community sites. In contrast with static HTML websites, a PHP site can show unique content to each user under the same exact page URL. Because of the fact that PHP-based web-based apps can be managed via a single Control Panel tool, which you can sign on to using any Internet browser, you won’t need any computer programming expertise or practical experience to run a PHP-driven website. The fact that hundreds of millions of websites all over the world are built using PHP is indicative of the language’s popularity and simplicity of use. You only have to verify if the web server on which your website is hosted supports the very same PHP version as the one that you used while setting up the website.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting servers support several PHP versions, which implies that your websites will run properly no matter if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We acknowledge the fact that an old website doesn’t automatically equal an insecure one as you may have done plenty of code mods. That’s the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can decide which version will be active for your web hosting account. You can change the version with a single click of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the new settings will be applied right away. In case you would like to run both newer and older scripts, there is even an option to use a different version of PHP for each domain name of yours at the same time.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
Even in case your sites were built with an earlier PHP version, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support multiple versions running simultaneously on our semi-dedicated servers and each of them can be activated for your account with just a click through our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. In addition to the newest PHP 8, we also support 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 dropped by the great majority of hosting vendors, but we hold that you shouldn’t be forced to modify a website that took several years to set up, since older script language syntax does not always mean security gaps. On the contrary, a rightly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more secure than a poorly maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we will also provide you with the possibility to specify a different PHP version for each individual site within your account.
