PHP, which is a backronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most famous web development languages that are available out there. Any site or application created using PHP will run on a given web server on the condition that a PHP module is installed, which makes the language absolutely universal and it’s not really that unusual that there are a couple of million servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-powered sites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML due to the fact that it enables you to build a dynamic serving website with a myriad of different options. A PHP-based social network, for instance, will show different content to each visitor irrespective of the fact that the page URL will stay the same. In contrast, HTML websites are static and the page content can be edited only manually. Like any other piece of software, PHP has different versions and the one that was used while building a certain website must be available on the server in order for the site to run correctly.

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

With our Linux shared packages, you’ll be able to choose which version of PHP will be enabled for your shared account, as we offer support for different versions. With as little as one mouse click, you will be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and anytime a new version is unveiled in the future, we’ll include it in the Hepsia Control Panel without removing the previous versions. In this way, you will be able to host all the sites that you have developed over the years. Unlike many other web hosting suppliers, we will not compel you to update such websites, as a script may be outdated, but this does not mean that it’s vulnerable as you may have carried out modifications to its source code to prevent security breaches. For your convenience’s sake, you will even be able to pick a different PHP version for each website that you host in your account.

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

Our Linux semi-dedicated packages support multiple versions of PHP, which means that you will be able to use all the web-based applications that you have built through the years. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with every single account, will enable you to enable the needed version with just one mouse click. You can select between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. If you want to host multiple sites in the exact same account and they have special requirements relating to the hosting environment, you’ll be able to choose a different PHP version for each one of them regardless of which version is enabled for the account itself. This is achievable thanks to our custom cloud platform, which allows us to run multiple versions of PHP all at the same time. By contrast, the majority of hosting vendors typically support one, rarely two versions.
