PHP is amongst the most widely used open-source server-side scripting languages. It’s rather popular because it’s free software, which can be used to build interactive sites such as community portals, online shopping portals or online teaching sites rather than static HTML sites. A PHP module should be enabled on the web server where a PHP-driven site is hosted so that its PHP code can be ‘decrypted’. Because there aren’t any license charges for such a module and the language offers innumerable possibilities for the web apps that you develop, there are 100s of millions of PHP-powered sites. In addition, there’re a large number of PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without needing to have any coding expertise. Considering the fact that there are a handful of PHP versions, you ought to make sure that the exact same version that you used while creating your website is available on the web server too.

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

In case you get a shared web hosting package from our company, you will never need to ask yourself if your sites are compatible with the web hosting platform, since different PHP versions are available on our servers for the sake of your convenience. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one click and in case you would like to change the current version, the update will take effect immediately. In this way, many years of work on websites built with an older version won’t go down the drain. Our web hosting platform will even permit you to use a different version of PHP for each domain name hosted in your account, which goes to say that you can run newer and older scripts simultaneously. Most web hosting providers on the marketplace support one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In contrast with them, we strongly maintain that you should be the one to choose the version that your very own websites will use.

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

Our semi-dedicated packages support multiple versions of PHP, which goes to say that you will be able to use all the Internet apps that you’ve set up over the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every account, will enable you to enable the needed version with just one mouse click. You can choose between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. If you would like to host multiple websites under one and the very same account and they have different requirements related to the hosting environment, you will be able to choose a different version for each one of them no matter which version is enabled for the account as a whole. This is accomplishable owing to our in-house developed cloud web hosting platform, which permits us to run different PHP versions all at the same time. In comparison, the majority of web hosts usually offer one, rarely two versions.
