PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, usually called PHP, is a famous open-source web programming language, which can be used to develop dynamic websites with interactive components such as message boards, online teaching portals or community portals. In comparison to static HTML-based websites, a PHP-powered website can show different web content to each user under the same URL. Considering the fact that PHP-based web apps can be managed through one single Control Panel, which you can log into using any web browser, you will not have to possess any web development capabilities or practical experience whatsoever in order to administer a PHP site. The fact that hundreds of millions of sites around the world are PHP-based is indicative of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You must only confirm whether or not the web server on which your website is hosted supports the exact same version of PHP as the one that you used while developing the website.

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

Our shared hosting servers support different PHP versions, which suggests that your websites will run without any problems even if your scripts are out of date. We realize that an old site does not automatically equal an insecure one as you may have implemented plenty of mods to its source code. This is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can select which one will be active for your shared hosting account. The version can be changed with a single mouse click inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the update will take effect momentarily. If you’d like to run both newer and older scripts, there’s even an option to use a different PHP version for each domain name of yours simultaneously.

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

If you have a site built on an older PHP version and you have dedicated time and effort to setting it up, filling security loopholes and inputting page content, you will need to find a web hosting service that can support it, as most hosting companies nowadays support only the most recently released PHP version and abandon the earlier versions. We, on the other hand, have decided to permit you to pick the exact version that your own websites require. Our Linux semi-dedicated plans support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which implies that you will be able to run both newer and older scripts without forfeiting any customizations or frittering away time and energy trying to make your websites compatible with the hosting environment. The current version can be changed via the Hepsia Control Panel and such an update will apply to the whole account, but you will also be able to choose a different version for each individual website that you host in your account by using an .htaccess config file.
