PHP, which is a recursive backronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most commonly used dynamic programming languages that are available out there. Any site or Internet app built on PHP will run on a given web server as long as a PHP module is installed, which renders the language really universal and it’s not unusual that there are a couple of million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-driven websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML thanks to the fact that it permits you to develop an interactive site with a ton of features. A PHP-based social networking site, for instance, will display different web content to each visitor in spite of the fact that the URL will be the same. In comparison, HTML websites are static and the page content itself can be modified only manually. Just like any other piece of software, PHP has several versions and the version that was used whilst setting up a specific website must be available on the server in order for the site to run faultlessly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Hosting
If you purchase a shared hosting package from our company, you’ll never need to think about whether your sites are compatible with the hosting environment, since several PHP versions are enabled on our servers for your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single mouse click and in case you’d like to change the current version, the update will be applied momentarily. In this way, several years of work on sites built with an older version will not go down the drain. Our web 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 use older and newer scripts at the same time. Most web hosting providers on the market offer support for one, sometimes for two PHP versions. In contrast to them, we trust that you should be the one to choose the version that your very own sites will use.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated hosting service support multiple versions of PHP, which goes to say that you will be able to run all the Internet applications that you have built throughout the years. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each single account, will allow you to set the version that you need with one mouse click. You can pick between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. If you would like to host multiple websites in one account and they have various requirements in connection with the hosting environment, you will be able to set a different PHP version for each and every one of them irrespective of which version has been enabled for the account itself. This is achievable thanks to our custom-developed cloud platform, which allows us to run multiple PHP versions simultaneously. By comparison, the great majority of web hosting vendors typically support one, sometimes two versions.
