PHP, which is a meta-acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is among the most popular interpreted programming languages that are available out there. Any site or web-based app written in PHP will run on a given web server as long as a PHP module is activated, which renders the language absolutely universal and it’s not surprising that there are actually several million web servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-driven websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML owing to the fact that it allows you to create a responsive site with plenty of options. A PHP-based community portal, for instance, will display unique content to each visitor although the URL will be the same. In comparison, HTML-based sites are static and the content on the pages can be modified only manually. Like any other software, PHP has different versions and the one that was used while setting up a certain website must be set up on the web server so that the site can run correctly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting servers support several versions of PHP, which suggests that your sites will run correctly even if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We recognize the fact that an old site doesn’t inevitably imply an insecure one as you may have performed a lot of mods to its source code. That is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which version will be enabled for your web hosting account. You can change the version with just one click of the mouse from your Hepsia Control Panel and the new settings will take effect immediately. If you would like to run both newer and older scripts, there is even a possibility to use a different version of PHP for each of your domains at the same time.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
We are steadfast in our conviction that several years spent creating a site shouldn’t go down the tube, which goes to say that in case you get a semi-dedicated server from our company, you’ll be able to run any script, irrespective of whether it is new or old. In contrast to a lot of web hosting providers, we support a number of different versions of PHP on our revolutionary cloud hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. Not only will you be able to activate the required version through your Hepsia Control Panel, but you will also have the opportunity to pick a different PHP version for each single website. This can be accomplished simply by putting an .htaccess file into the given site’s root folder. You can change the current version either for a single site or for the account itself and the new settings will be applied in less than a few minutes. With our hosting services, you can be sure that you won’t ever have any website compatibility challenges.
