PHP, which is a bacronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most widely used web programming languages available out there. Any site or web-based application built with PHP will run on a given web server as long as a PHP module is activated, which renders the language really universal and it is hardly surprising that there are a few million servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP sites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML due to the fact that it permits you to set up a responsive site with a myriad of different options. A PHP-based community portal, for instance, will serve different content to each visitor irrespective of the fact that the URL won’t change. On the other hand, HTML sites are static and the page content can be edited only manually. Just like any other software program, PHP has several versions and the version that was used whilst setting up a certain website must be activated on the server in order for the site to work faultlessly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Web Hosting
Our web hosting servers support several PHP versions, so your sites will run without any problem no matter if your scripts are outdated. We accept the fact that an old site doesn’t necessarily suggest a vulnerable one as you may have carried out plenty of modifications to its source code. That is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can decide which one will be enabled for your hosting account. You can change the version with a single click within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the update will take effect immediately. If you want to run both older and newer scripts, there is even a possibility to use a different PHP version for each of your domain names simultaneously.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
It’s our unremitting conviction that several years spent building a website should not go down the tubes, which goes to say that in case you order a semi-dedicated server from us, you’ll be able to use any script, new or old. In contrast to many providers, 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 enable the needed version from your Hepsia Control Panel, but you will also have the opportunity to select a different PHP version for each single website. This can be accomplished merely by putting an .htaccess file inside the given site’s root folder. You can change the version not only for a single website, but also for the whole account and the change will be applied in just several minutes. With our web hosting services, you can be certain that you won’t ever bump into any site incompatibility problems.
