PHP, which is a recursive initialism for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most popular general-purpose programming languages out there. Any website or web application written in PHP will run on a given web server as long as a PHP module is enabled, which renders the language absolutely universal and it is hardly a surprise that there are a couple of million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-driven sites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML thanks to the fact that it allows you to build a dynamic serving site with tons of different options. A PHP-based community site, for instance, will show unique content to each user in spite of the fact that the URL won’t change. On the other hand, HTML sites are static and the page content itself can be edited only manually. Like any other software, PHP has different versions and the one that was used whilst creating a particular website must be set up on the server in order for the site to work properly.

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

In case you purchase a cloud website hosting plan from our company, you’ll never have to speculate as to whether or not your websites are compatible with the hosting platform, since several versions of PHP are activated on our servers for the sake of your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one mouse click and in case you wish to change the version, the update will take effect immediately. In this way, many years of work on sites built with an older version won’t go down the tubes. Our 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 use older and newer scripts at the same time. Most hosting companies on the marketplace support one, sometimes two PHP versions. In stark contrast to them, we strongly deem that you should be the one to select the version that your own websites will use.

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

It is our unfaltering conviction that several years spent setting up a website should not be wasted, which means that in case you get a semi-dedicated server from us, you’ll be able to use any script, new or old. In contrast to a lot of providers, we support a number of different PHP versions on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. Not only will you have the ability to enable the required version through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, but you will also have the possibility to select a different version for each single website. This can be done simply by putting an .htaccess file into the given site’s root folder. You can change the version both for a single website and for the whole account and the new settings will be applied in no more than a few minutes. With our hosting services, you can be sure that you won’t ever experience any website compatibility impediments.
