PHP, which is a recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most commonly used object-oriented programming languages out there. Any website or application based on PHP will run on a given server provided that a PHP module is enabled, which makes the language really universal and it’s hardly surprising that there are actually a few million web servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP sites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML owing to the fact that it enables you to set up a responsive website with plenty of options. A PHP-based community portal, for instance, will display unique web content to each visitor despite the fact that the URL will not change. In comparison, HTML sites are static and the page content itself can be updated only manually. Just like any other software program, PHP has several versions and the version that was used while developing a particular website must be configured on the server so that the site can run faultlessly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting servers support different versions of PHP, which goes to say that your sites will work correctly no matter if your PHP scripts are out of date. We know that an old website does not always equal a vulnerable one as you may have implemented plenty of modifications to its code. That’s the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can select which version will be enabled for your shared hosting account. The version can be changed with just one click via your Hepsia Control Panel and the update will be applied right away. In case you want to run both older and newer scripts, there’s even a possibility to use a different version of PHP for each of your domain names at the same time.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated services support multiple PHP versions, which means that you’ll be able to use all the Internet apps that you have created over the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each single semi-dedicated server account, will allow you to activate the needed version with one click. You can select between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. In case you want to host multiple websites under the same account and they have various requirements in connection to the hosting platform, you will be able to pick a different PHP version for each one of them no matter which version is enabled for the account itself. That’s possible owing to our in-house created cloud hosting platform, which permits us to run several versions of PHP at once. By contrast, the majority of web hosting vendors normally support one, rarely two versions.
