PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, otherwise called PHP, is a popular interpreted programming language, which can be used to set up dynamic websites with interactive components like forums, online teaching websites or community sites. Unlike static HTML-based sites, a PHP-powered website can serve different content to each user under the same exact URL. Since PHP-based web-based applications can be managed via a single Control Panel, which you can log into from any Internet browser, you will not need to have any web development know-how or previous experience in order to administer a PHP site. The fact that 100s of millions of websites all over the globe are created with PHP is indicative of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You only need to make sure that the web server on which your website is hosted supports the same exact version of PHP as the one that you used whilst setting up the website.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Website Hosting
With our Linux website hosting services, you’ll be able to pick the PHP version that will be enabled for your shared hosting account, since we support different versions. With just one mouse click, you’ll be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and each time a new version is launched in the future, we’ll add it to the Hepsia Control Panel without removing the older ones. Thus, you’ll be able to host all the sites that you’ve created throughout the years. In stark contrast to a lot of other companies, we will not compel you to update such websites, because a script may be outdated, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s vulnerable since you may have implemented modifications to its code to plug security gaps. For your convenience, you will even be able to set a different version of PHP for each website that you host in your shared account.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you have a site created in a previous PHP version and you have spent time and effort on developing it, fixing safety holes and appending web content, you’ll need to find a web hosting service that can support it, since the great majority of web hosts nowadays offer support only for the most recently launched PHP version and give up the previous ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to allow you to pick the version that your websites need. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, so you will be able to run both older and newer scripts without forfeiting any manual tweaks or wasting time and effort striving to make your sites compatible with the web hosting platform. The version can be changed through the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will affect the whole semi-dedicated account, but you’ll also have the ability to select a different version for each site hosted in your account using an .htaccess config file.
