PHP is amongst the most widely used open-source scripting languages. It’s highly popular because it’s free software, which you can use to build responsive sites such as social networking sites, web stores or online learning portals instead of static HTML sites. A PHP module should be activated on the web server where a PHP-powered website is hosted so that its code can be interpreted. As there are no license fees for this kind of module and the language itself offers endless possibilities for the web apps that you develop, there are hundreds of millions of PHP-powered websites. Plus, there are tons of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your websites without having to possess any programming skills. As there are a couple of PHP versions, you ought to make certain that the same exact version that you used while setting up your site is present on the web server too.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Website Hosting
We’ve reached a decision not to restrict our present and prospective clients from choosing what PHP version their sites will use, which means that in case you order a website hosting plan from our company, you will be able to choose between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account itself, but also for each individual domain name that you host. This can be accomplished with only one single click of the mouse through our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel via which all shared hosting accounts are administered, which is why you won’t need any programming or technical abilities. You will be able to manage sites based on both new and old PHP-based scripts without having to overcome any problems, so if you decide to swap your current web host and move over to us, you can rest assured that all the sites that you’ve set up throughout the years will continue to run properly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
Even in case your websites were built with an earlier PHP version, you will 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 servers and each one of them can be activated for your account with no more than one click through our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Aside from 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. The latter has already been abandoned by the vast majority of hosting companies, but we strongly hold that you should not be forced to modify a website that took years to build, since older programming language syntax doesn’t automatically mean safety gaps. Just the opposite, a correctly maintained website using PHP 4 can be more reliable than a poorly maintained one using PHP 5. For the sake of your convenience, we will also provide you with the possibility to choose a different version for each site within the account.
