PHP is among the most widely used open-source server-side coding languages. It’s highly popular since it is free software, which you can use to create interactive websites such as community portals, online stores or e-learning websites rather than static HTML websites. A PHP module must be activated on the server where a PHP-powered website is hosted so that its source code can be ‘deciphered’. Since there aren’t any license charges for this kind of module and the language itself offers incalculable options for the Internet applications that you create, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP sites. Also, there’re an immense number of PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to have any coding experience. Given the fact that there are different PHP versions, you ought to confirm whether the very same version that you used while building your website is present on the server as well.

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

If you get a hosting package from us, you’ll never need to speculate if your websites are compatible with the web hosting platform, as several versions of PHP are activated on our servers for your convenience. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one mouse click and if you would like to change the version, the new settings will be applied instantaneously. Thus, several years of work on websites built with an older version of PHP won’t be in vain. Our web hosting platform will even allow you to use a different version of PHP for each domain hosted in your account, which suggests that you can run newer and older scripts at the same time. Most web hosting companies on the market offer support for one, sometimes for two PHP versions. Unlike them, we believe that you should be the one to choose the version that your own sites will be using.

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

If you’ve got a site created using a previous version of PHP and you’ve funneled time and energy into developing it, plugging safety loopholes and adding web page content, you’ll need to find a web hosting service that can support it, since most web hosting companies nowadays offer support only for the most recently released PHP version and give up the previous versions. We, however, have decided to allow you to select the version that your very own websites require. Our Linux semi-dedicated packages support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which goes to say that you’ll be able to run both older and newer scripts without losing any manual modifications or wasting time and effort striving to make your websites compatible with the web hosting environment. You can change the version via the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will affect the entire account, but you’ll also have the ability to specify a different version of PHP for each individual website hosted in your account using an .htaccess configuration file.
