PHP, which is an acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most commonly used scripting languages that are available out there. Any website or app written in PHP will run on a given web server provided that a PHP module is enabled, which makes the language truly universal and it is by no means a surprise that there are a few million servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-driven sites hosted on them. What makes PHP preferred over HTML is the fact that it permits you to build a dynamic site with plenty of options. A PHP-based community site, for example, will show unique web content to each visitor in spite of the fact that the URL will be the same. In comparison, HTML-based sites are static and the content on the pages can be edited only manually. Just like any other software, PHP has several versions and the one that was used whilst setting up a certain website must be available on the web server so that the site can run flawlessly.

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

With our shared hosting, you’ll be able to select the PHP version that will be active for your shared account, as different versions are installed on our servers. With as little as one mouse click, you will be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and anytime a new version is unveiled in the future, we’ll include it in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the previous ones. In this way, you will be able to host all the websites that you have created through the years. In contrast with lots of other web hosting companies, we will not force you to update such websites, as a script may be out of date, but this doesn’t mean that it is insecure as you may have modified its code to fix safety loopholes. For your convenience’s sake, you’ll even be able to select a different version of PHP for each website hosted in your hosting account.

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

You can change the current version either for a single website or for the entire account and the new settings will be applied in only a few minutes. With our hosting services, you can be sure that you will never experience any site compatibility hindrances.
