PHP, which is an abbreviation for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most commonly used multiparadigm programming languages out there. Any website or app based on PHP will run on a given server provided that a PHP module is enabled, which makes the language absolutely universal and it is not very unusual that there are actually a few million web servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-powered sites running on them. What makes PHP preferred over HTML is the fact that it permits you to develop a dynamic site with tons of different features. A PHP-based community website, for example, will display unique web content to each visitor even though the page URL will remain unchanged. By contrast, HTML websites are static and the page content can be updated only manually. Just like any other piece of software, PHP has different versions and the one that was used whilst building a specific website must be configured on the web server in order for the site to run faultlessly.

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

We’ve decided not to restrict our current and future customers from picking what PHP version their sites will be using, which suggests that in case you purchase a shared hosting plan from us, you’ll be able to choose between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account as a whole, but also for each single domain name hosted by you. This can be done with just one mouse click through our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel via which all shared accounts are administered, which is why you will not have to possess any programming or technical knowledge. You’ll be able to run sites based on both old and new PHP scripts without having to cope with any impediments, so if you’d like to abandon your present web hosting supplier and switch over to us, you can be sure that all the sites that you have set up through the years will continue to run correctly.

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

It is our unfaltering belief that years spent building a website should not be lost, which means that if you get a semi-dedicated server from our company, you will be able to use any script, be it old or new. In stark contrast to a lot of web hosting vendors, we support a number of different versions of PHP on our revolutionary cloud hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. You will not only be able to activate the version that you need through your Hepsia Control Panel, but you will also have the option to set a different version for each website. This can be done simply by putting an .htaccess file inside the root directory of the given site. You can change the version not only for a single site, but also for the whole account and the change will be applied in just a couple of minutes. With our hosting services, you can be sure that you will never encounter any site incompatibility obstacles.
