PHP, which is a recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most popular curly-brace programming languages available out there. Any website or application built using PHP will run on a given server provided that a PHP module is activated, which renders the language truly universal and it’s barely surprising that there are actually a few million servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-powered websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it permits you to create a dynamic serving website with a myriad of options. A PHP-based community website, for instance, will show unique web content to each user regardless of the fact that the page URL will stay the same. In contrast, HTML websites are static and the page content itself can be modified only manually. Just like any other software program, PHP has different versions and the version that was used while building a specific website must be set up on the web server so that the site can run properly.

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

With our shared hosting packages, you will be able to select the version of PHP that will be active for your web hosting account, as we offer support for several versions. With just one click, you will be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and whenever a new version is introduced in the future, we’ll add it to the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the earlier versions. In this way, you will be able to host all the websites that you have created throughout the years. In stark contrast with lots of other web hosts, we won’t compel you to update such sites, as a script may be out of date, but this does not mean that it is insecure since you may have done modifications to its code to patch security gaps. For your convenience, you’ll even be able to select a different PHP version for each individual site that you host in your shared hosting account.

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

We unfalteringly believe that years spent setting up a site should not go down the tube, which suggests that in case you purchase a semi-dedicated server from us, you will be able to use any script, regardless of whether it’s new or old. In contrast with lots of hosting companies, we support several different versions of PHP on our revolutionary cloud hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. You will not only be able to enable the needed version from your Hepsia Control Panel, but you’ll also have the option to set a different PHP version for each website. The latter can be accomplished merely by putting an .htaccess file in the root folder of the given site. You can change the version not only for a single site, but also for the whole account and the update will take effect in just a couple of minutes. With our web hosting services, you can rest assured that you will never bump into any website compatibility challenges.
