PHP is one of the most commonly used curly-brace programming languages. It’s pretty popular because it’s free software, which can be used to create responsive sites such as social networking sites, web stores or online teaching sites rather than static HTML sites. A PHP module should be enabled on the web server where a PHP-powered website is hosted so that its source code can be ‘deciphered’. Because there are no license fees for this sort of module and the language itself provides infinite options for the Internet apps that you build, there’re 100s of millions of PHP sites. Also, there are a large number of open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to possess any coding know-how. Considering the fact that there’re several PHP versions, you need to check whether the exact same version that you used whilst building your website is available on the web server as well.

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

With our Linux hosting plans, you’ll be able to select which version of PHP will be active for your shared hosting account, since different versions are enabled on our servers. With just one mouse click, you will be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and each time a new version is unveiled in the future, we’ll include it in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the older ones. Thus, you will be able to host all the websites that you have built over the years. In contrast with many other web hosts, we will not force you to update such sites, as a script may be outdated, but this does not necessarily mean that it’s vulnerable as you may have implemented modifications to its source code to fill safety gaps. For your convenience’s sake, you’ll even be able to choose a different version of PHP 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 Servers

It’s our unfaltering conviction that several years spent creating a website should not be in vain, which suggests that in case you buy a semi-dedicated server from us, you’ll be able to run any script, irrespective of whether it is old or new. In contrast with a lot of web hosting vendors, we support several different versions of PHP on our innovative cloud platform – 4, 5 and 7. You will not only be able to activate the needed version via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, but you will also have the possibility to pick a different version for each single website. The latter can be done simply by placing an .htaccess file in the root folder of the given site. You can change the current version either for a single website or for the entire account and the change will be applied in no more than a few minutes. With our hosting services, you can be certain that you will never confront any site compatibility problems.
