PHP, which is a recursive backronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is among the most commonly used imperative programming languages available out there. Any site or web-based application created using PHP will run on a given web server as long as a PHP module is enabled, which renders the language truly universal and it’s not really a big surprise that there are a few million web servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-driven websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML thanks to the fact that it enables you to build an interactive site with a multitude of options. A PHP-based social network, for instance, will show unique content to each user although the page URL will stay the same. In contrast, HTML websites are static and the content on the pages can be edited only manually. Like any other software, PHP has different versions and the version that was used while creating a given website must be activated on the server in order for the site to run faultlessly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Web Hosting
If you order a web hosting plan from us, you’ll never have to think about whether or not your sites are compatible with the web hosting environment, since we offer different PHP versions for the sake of your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one click and if you would like to change the current version, the new settings will be applied immediately. In this way, years of work on sites created with an older PHP version won’t be lost. Our web hosting platform will even allow you to use a different version of PHP for each domain hosted in your account, which suggests that you can use newer and older scripts at the same time. Most web hosting companies on the market offer support for one, sometimes for two PHP versions. In stark contrast with them, we strongly reckon that you should be the one to select the version that your own sites will use.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
We are of the unswerving opinion that several years spent setting up a website shouldn’t be in vain, which means that in case you get a semi-dedicated server from our company, you will be able to run any script, no matter if it is new or old. In stark contrast to a lot of companies, we support several different versions of PHP on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. Not only will you be able to activate the required version from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, but you’ll also have the opportunity to pick a different PHP version for each single website. This can be done merely by uploading an .htaccess file to the given site’s root folder. You can change the version both for a single website and for the account itself and the update will take effect in only several minutes. With our web hosting services, you can be sure that you won’t ever confront any site compatibility challenges.
