PHP, which is a recursive abbreviation for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most famous general-purpose server-side programming languages available out there. Any website or web-based application built using PHP will run on a given web server provided that a PHP module is installed, which makes the language truly universal and it comes as no surprise that there are actually several million servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-driven websites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML owing to the fact that it enables you to develop an interactive site with a lot of features. A PHP-based community portal, for example, will display unique content to each user in spite of the fact that the page URL will stay unchanged. By contrast, HTML websites are static and the content on the pages can be edited only manually. Just like any other software, PHP has different versions and the version that was used whilst developing a particular website must be available on the server in order for the site to work faultlessly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Website Hosting
If you order a website hosting plan from us, you will never have to speculate on whether your websites are compatible with the web hosting environment, since several 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 of the mouse and in case you need to change the version, the new settings will take effect right away. In this way, several years of work on websites built with an older version of PHP won’t go down the tubes. Our hosting platform will even permit you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, which suggests that you can run newer and older scripts at the same time. Most hosting providers on the market support one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In stark contrast with them, we strongly trust that you should be the one to choose the version that your own websites will be using.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated hosting packages support multiple PHP versions, which goes to say that you will be able to run all the web-based applications that you have created over the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each single semi-dedicated account, will permit you to enable the version that you need with only one click of the mouse. You can pick between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. If you would like to host multiple sites under one and the very same account and they have diverse requirements with regards to the web hosting platform, you will be able to set a different PHP version for each of them irrespective of which version is selected for the account as a whole. This is possible owing to our in-house created cloud platform, which allows us to run multiple versions of PHP simultaneously. By contrast, the vast majority of hosting suppliers usually support one, rarely two versions.
