PHP, which is a meta-acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is among the most famous open-source web programming languages that are available out there. Any site or app built using PHP will run on a given web server provided that a PHP module is activated, which renders the language truly universal and it’s not very surprising that there are a couple of million servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-powered websites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it allows you to build a dynamic website with heaps of options. A PHP-based community web portal, for instance, will display unique content to each user regardless of the fact that the URL will remain the same. In contrast, HTML-based sites are static and the page content itself can be updated only manually. Just like any other piece of software, PHP has several versions and the one that was used while setting up a given website must be configured on the web server in order for the site to behave properly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Hosting
If you buy a shared hosting package from us, you will never need to wonder whether or not your websites are compatible with the hosting environment, since we support multiple versions of PHP for your convenience’s sake. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one single mouse click and in case you would like to change the current version, the update will take effect instantaneously. Thus, several years of work on websites built with an older PHP version will not go down the tube. Our web hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain hosted in your account, which implies that you can run newer and older scripts at the same time. Most hosting companies on the marketplace offer support for one, sometimes for two versions of PHP. In contrast with them, we think that you should be the one to pick the version that your very own websites will be using.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
We’re of the staunch opinion that years spent setting up a site shouldn’t go down the tubes, which suggests that if you purchase a semi-dedicated server from our company, you will be able to run any script, irrespective of whether it is old or new. In stark contrast to lots of hosting vendors, we support a number of different versions of PHP on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. Not only will you have the ability to enable the required version through your Hepsia Control Panel, but you will also have the option to set a different version for each individual website. The latter can be accomplished simply by adding an .htaccess file to the root directory of the given site. You can change the current version both for a single website and for the whole account and the update will take effect in only several minutes. With our web hosting services, you can be certain that you will never experience any site compatibility obstacles.
