PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, also called PHP, is a famous class-based programming language, which is used to create dynamic sites with interactive features such as discussion boards, online teaching sites or social networks. In stark contrast with static HTML-based websites, a PHP-driven website can display unique web content to each visitor under the same URL. Because PHP-based web applications can be managed through one single Control Panel tool, which you can log onto from any online browser, you will not need to have any coding skills or practical experience in order to administer a PHP-powered website. The fact that 100s of millions of sites worldwide are built on PHP is an indication of the popularity and the ease of use of the language. You only have to verify that the server on which your website is hosted supports the same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst building the website.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting servers support several versions of PHP, which suggests that your sites will work faultlessly even if your PHP scripts are outdated. We accept the fact that an old site doesn’t inevitably imply an insecure one as you may have done plenty of modifications to its code. This is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which one will be active for your hosting account. You can change the version with a single click of the mouse via your Hepsia Control Panel and the new settings will be applied straight away. In case you want to run both newer and older scripts, there’s even a possibility to use a different PHP version for each domain of yours at the same time.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Even in case your websites were created with an earlier version of PHP, you’ll be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support several versions running at the same time on our semi-dedicated servers and each of them can be enabled for your account with just one click of the mouse through our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In addition to the newest PHP 8, we also offer 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and the older PHP 4, which has already been abandoned by most web hosting vendors, but we are convinced that you should not be compelled to modify a site that took several years to develop, as older script language syntax doesn’t automatically imply safety loopholes. Quite the opposite, a correctly maintained website using PHP 4 can be more reliable than an inadequately maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we’ll also offer you the possibility to specify a different version of PHP for each site within the account.
