PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, popularly known as PHP, is a popular interpreted programming language, which is used to create dynamic websites with interactive elements like Internet forums, online teaching portals or community web portals. In contrast with static HTML-based sites, a PHP-powered site can display different content to each user under the same exact page URL. As PHP-based applications can be managed through a Control Panel tool, which you can log onto using any online browser, you will not need to possess any web development knowledge or past experience to maintain a PHP-driven site. The fact that 100s of millions of sites around the globe are built with PHP is an indication of the popularity and the simplicity of use of the language. You only ought to verify whether the server where you host your website supports the very same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst creating the site.

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

We have made a conscious decision not to restrict our current and prospective customers from picking what PHP version their sites will use, which means that in case you buy a shared hosting plan from our company, you will be able to pick between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account itself, but also for each single domain that you host. This can be done with only one mouse click through our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel via which all shared accounts are managed, which is the reason why you will not need to possess any programming or technical expertise. You will be able to run sites built with both old and new PHP-based scripts without hassles, so if you’d like to swap your present hosting vendor and move over to us, you can be sure that all the websites that you have created over the years will continue to run faultlessly.

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

If you have a website based on an older version of PHP and you’ve committed time and energy to setting it up, filling security breaches and entering web content, you will need a web hosting service that can support it, since the great majority of web hosting vendors today offer support only for the latest PHP version and abandon the earlier versions. We, on the other hand, have decided to allow you to choose the exact version that your sites need. Our semi-dedicated servers support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, so you will be able to use both newer and older scripts without losing any custom modifications or wasting time and efforts attempting to make your sites compatible with the web hosting platform. You can change the current version via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will apply to the whole account, but you’ll also have the ability to select a different PHP version for each individual website hosted in your account by means of an .htaccess configuration file.
