PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, popularly referred to as PHP, is a famous open-source server-side programming language, which can be used to develop dynamic sites with interactive elements such as discussion forums, online teaching portals or community portals. In contrast to static HTML-based sites, a PHP website can serve unique content to each visitor under the very same page URL. Considering the fact that PHP-based web-based applications can be managed through a single Control Panel, which you can log into from any browser, you will not need any coding skills or practical experience whatsoever to maintain a PHP website. The fact that 100s of millions of websites worldwide are built using PHP is an indication of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You only have to verify whether the server on which your site is hosted supports the very same PHP version as the one that you used whilst setting up the website.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Web Hosting
With our Linux cloud web hosting, you will be able to pick which PHP version will be active for your shared hosting account, as we offer support for several versions. With just one click of the mouse, you’ll be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and anytime a new version is launched in the future, we will add it to the Hepsia Control Panel without removing the older ones. Thus, you’ll be able to host all the websites that you’ve built throughout the years. In contrast to a lot of other hosting providers, we will not compel you to update such sites, as a script may be out of date, but this does not automatically mean that it’s vulnerable since you may have performed modifications to its source code to fill security gaps. For the sake of your convenience, you will even be able to pick a different PHP version for each single website that you host in your shared account.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you’ve got a website built with a previous PHP version and you have dedicated time and effort on developing it, plugging security gaps and publishing content, you’ll need to find a hosting service that can support it, since the great majority of hosting suppliers nowadays offer only the most recently launched version of PHP and abandon the earlier ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to let you select the version that your own sites need. Our Linux semi-dedicated plans support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which implies that you’ll be able to use both older and newer scripts without losing any custom tweaks or wasting time attempting to make your websites compatible with the web hosting environment. You can change the current version via the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will apply to the whole semi-dedicated server account, but you’ll also have the ability to pick a different version for each individual site hosted in your account by means of an .htaccess file.
