PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, also referred to as PHP, is a popular general-purpose scripting language, which can be used to develop dynamic websites with interactive components such as bulletin boards, e-teaching portals or community portals. In stark contrast to static HTML-based sites, a PHP-driven site can display different web content to each visitor under the exact same page URL. Because of the fact that PHP-based web applications can be managed through one Control Panel tool, which you can log in to using any web browser, you will not need any web development capabilities or prior experience whatsoever to administer a PHP-powered site. The fact that 100s of millions of sites all over the world are built using PHP is an indication of the popularity and the ease of use of the language. You only ought to verify that the server on which your website is hosted supports the very same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst developing the site.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Website Hosting
If you purchase a website hosting plan from our company, you will never have to ask yourself whether your websites are compatible with the hosting environment, as we support multiple versions of PHP for your convenience’s sake. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single click and if you wish to change the version, the new settings will take effect right away. In this way, many years of work on websites created with an older version of PHP will not go down the drain. Our hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, so you can use newer and older scripts at the same time. Most web hosting companies on the marketplace offer one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In contrast to them, we are convinced that you should be the one to pick the version that your own websites will use.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you have a website created using an older PHP version and you have dedicated time and efforts towards setting it up, repairing safety loopholes and adding page content, you’ll need to find a hosting service that can support it, as the great majority of hosting companies today support only the most recently introduced PHP version and abandon the older versions. We, however, have decided to allow you to select the version that your websites need. Our semi-dedicated service support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which implies that you’ll be able to run both older and newer scripts without forfeiting any manual tweaks or misspending time and energy attempting to make your sites compatible with the hosting environment. The version can be changed via the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will affect the whole account, but you will also be able to set a different version of PHP for each website hosted in your account by means of an .htaccess config file.
