PHP is among the most commonly used class-based programming languages. It is highly popular since it’s free software, which you can use to build responsive websites such as community websites, Internet shops or e-learning portals instead of static HTML sites. A PHP module should be installed on the server where a PHP-powered site is hosted so that its code can be ‘decrypted’. As there aren’t any license charges for this kind of module and the language provides innumerable options for the applications that you set up, there are hundreds of millions of PHP websites. In addition, there are numerous open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to have any programming capabilities. As there are a number of versions of PHP, you must verify that the very same version that you used whilst building your website is present on the web server as well.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Web Hosting
We’ve made a conscious decision not to restrict our present and potential customers from picking what PHP version their sites will be using, which means that if you purchase a web hosting plan from us, you’ll be able to choose between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account as a whole, but also for each domain name that you host. This can be accomplished with only one single mouse click from our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel via which all hosting accounts are managed, so you will not need any technical or programming knowledge. You will be able to manage websites based on both old and new PHP-based scripts without any trouble, so if you want to change your current web hosting supplier and switch over to us, you can be certain that all the websites that you have built over the years will continue to run correctly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you have a website based on an earlier version of PHP and you have invested time and efforts in developing it, plugging safety loopholes and publishing web page content, you will need to find a hosting service that can support it, as most hosting providers these days offer only the most recently published version of PHP and give up the earlier ones. We, however, have decided to let you select the version that your sites require. Our Linux semi-dedicated packages support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which means that you’ll be able to run both older and newer scripts without forfeiting any manual settings or misspending time and efforts trying to make your websites compatible with the web hosting platform. The version can be changed through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such a change will apply to the whole semi-dedicated server account, but you’ll also have the ability to set a different PHP version for each site hosted in your account using an .htaccess config file.
