PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, usually called PHP, is a popular open-source server-side programming language, which is used to set up dynamic websites with interactive features like message boards, e-teaching portals or community web portals. In comparison with static HTML websites, a PHP-driven site can display different web content to each user under the same exact page URL. Since PHP-based web apps can be managed via one single Control Panel, which you can access from any web browser, you won’t need to possess any computer programming expertise or practical experience in order to administer a PHP-driven site. The fact that 100s of millions of websites all over the globe are built on PHP is an indication of the popularity and the ease of use of the language. You only ought to confirm that the web server on which your website is hosted supports the very same version of PHP as the one that you used while developing the website.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Web Hosting
With our Linux shared web hosting, you’ll be able to select the PHP version that will be enabled for your hosting account, since different versions are enabled on our servers. With only one click of the mouse, you’ll be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and whenever a new version is released in the future, we’ll include it in the Hepsia Control Panel without removing the earlier versions. Thus, you will be able to host all the websites that you have built throughout the years. In contrast to lots of other hosting vendors, we won’t compel you to update such websites, as a script may be outdated, but this doesn’t mean that it’s vulnerable since you may have carried out modifications to its code to patch security breaches. For your convenience’s sake, you will even be able to select a different PHP version for each single website that you host in your shared web hosting account.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you’ve got a site created with an older PHP version and you have dedicated time and efforts towards developing it, patching safety gaps and appending web page content, you’ll need to find a web hosting service that can support it, as almost all web hosting suppliers these days offer support only for the most recently introduced PHP version and give up the previous ones. We, however, have decided to permit you to pick the version that your websites need. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, so you’ll be able to use both older and newer scripts without losing any custom modifications or misspending time and energy trying to make your websites compatible with the hosting platform. The current version can be changed through the Hepsia Control Panel and such an update will apply to the whole semi-dedicated server account, but you will also have the ability to pick a different version for each individual website hosted in your account using an .htaccess config file.
