PHP, which is a metacronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most famous open-source server-side scripting languages available out there. Any website or Internet app built using PHP will run on a given server on the condition that a PHP module is installed, which makes the language really universal and it isn’t very unusual that there are 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 allows you to create a dynamic site with plenty of options. A PHP-based community web portal, for instance, will serve different content to each user regardless of the fact that the page URL won’t change. On the other hand, HTML-based websites are static and the page content itself can be edited only manually. Just like any other software program, PHP has several versions and the version that was used while creating a certain website must be present on the server in order for the site to behave correctly.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Hosting

If you purchase a cloud hosting plan from our company, you won’t ever have to ponder over whether or not your websites are compatible with the hosting platform, as we offer support for different PHP versions for your convenience’s sake. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single click and if you’d like to change the current version, the update will be applied right away. In this way, many years of work on websites created with an older version won’t be in vain. Our web hosting platform will even permit you to use a different version of PHP for each domain hosted in your account, so you can run older and newer scripts at the same time. Most hosting providers on the market support one, sometimes two PHP versions. In stark contrast with them, we strongly think that you should be the one to pick the version that will be used by your very own websites.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers

We’re of the firm opinion that years spent creating a site shouldn’t be wasted, which implies that in case you order a semi-dedicated server from our company, you’ll be able to run any script, old or new. Unlike lots of companies, we support a number of different versions of PHP on our innovative cloud web hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. You will not only have the ability to activate the needed version through your Hepsia Control Panel, but you’ll also have the opportunity to choose a different version for each website. The latter can be done merely by placing an .htaccess file inside the root folder of the given site. You can change the current version not only for a single website, but also for the entire account and the new settings will be applied in no more than several minutes. With our hosting services, you can be sure that you will never bump into any site incompatibility difficulties.
