PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, commonly known as PHP, is a popular multiparadigm programming language, which is used to develop dynamic websites with interactive features like Internet forums, e-learning portals or community web portals. Unlike static HTML sites, a PHP website can display unique content to each user under the same page URL. Given the fact that PHP-based Internet applications can be managed via one Control Panel tool, which you can sign into using any Internet browser, you won’t need to have any computer programming skills or past experience in order to maintain a PHP-driven website. The fact that hundreds of millions of websites around the world are created in PHP is an indication of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You should only check if the web server on which your site is hosted supports the very same PHP version as the one that you used whilst setting up the site.

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

We have made a decision not to prevent our current and potential clients from choosing what PHP version their websites will be using, which means that in case you purchase a shared hosting package from our company, you’ll be able to choose between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account in general, but also for each individual domain hosted by you. This can be done with just one mouse click from our custom Hepsia Control Panel via which all web hosting accounts are administered, which is the reason why you won’t need to possess any technical or programming knowledge. You’ll be able to run websites based on both old and new scripts without having to deal with any obstructions, so if you decide to leave your present hosting supplier and move over to us, you can rest assured that all the sites that you have set up over the years will continue to work correctly.

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

In case you’ve got a site created with an older version of PHP and you have dedicated time and efforts to developing it, filling safety loopholes and publishing page content, you will need to find a web hosting service that can support it, since almost all hosting companies today offer support only for the latest PHP version and drop the older ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to let you select the version that your very own sites need. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which implies that you will be able to use both newer and older scripts without losing any manual tweaks or wasting time and effort struggling to make your sites compatible with the web hosting platform. You can change the current version via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such a change will affect the entire account, but you’ll also be able to set a different PHP version for each single website that you host in your account by using an .htaccess config file.
