PHP is one of the most widely used general-purpose server-side coding languages. It is exceptionally popular since it’s free software, which can be used to create interactive websites like community web portals, web shops or online teaching websites instead of static HTML-based websites. A PHP module must be available on the web server where a PHP-powered site is hosted so that its PHP code can be ‘translated’. As there aren’t any license fees for this sort of module and the language offers unlimited possibilities for the applications that you develop, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP websites. Furthermore, there’re an immense number of open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your websites without the need to possess any coding knowledge. Since there’re a number of versions of PHP, you should confirm if the same version that you used whilst building your website is activated on the server too.

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

We have made a conscious decision not to restrict our present and prospective clients from choosing the PHP version that their websites will use, which goes to say that if you purchase a cloud web hosting package from us, you will be able to pick between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account as a whole, but also for each domain hosted by you. This can be accomplished with just one click of the mouse from our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel via which all web hosting accounts are administered, which is why you will not need to have any coding or technical experience. You will be able to manage sites based on both old and new PHP scripts without hassle, so if you decide to drop your current provider and switch over to us, you can rest assured that all the sites that you’ve set up throughout the years will continue to run impeccably.

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

If you have a site based on an earlier version of PHP and you’ve put time and efforts toward setting it up, filling safety loopholes and appending web page content, you’ll need a hosting service that can support it, as the great majority of web hosting providers nowadays support only the most recent version of PHP and remove the older ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to allow you to pick the version that your own websites need. Our semi-dedicated servers support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which goes to say that you will be able to use both older and newer scripts without losing any custom modifications or misspending time and energy trying to make your websites compatible with the hosting environment. You can change the version via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will affect the entire account, but you’ll also have the ability to choose a different version of PHP for each site hosted in your account using an .htaccess config file.
