PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, popularly called PHP, is a popular open-source scripting language, which can be used to develop dynamic websites with interactive features like forums, online teaching portals or community sites. Unlike static HTML websites, a PHP site can display unique web content to each user under the exact same URL. Considering the fact that PHP-based applications can be managed through a Control Panel, which you can access from any Internet browser, you won’t need to possess any programming knowledge or practical experience whatsoever to administer a PHP site. The fact that 100s of millions of websites around the globe are built using PHP is an indication of the popularity and the ease of use of the language. You must only confirm if the server where you host your site supports the same exact PHP version as the one that you used while creating the site.

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

In case you order a cloud web hosting plan from our company, you’ll never have to speculate as to whether your websites are compatible with the web hosting environment, since we support different PHP versions for your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one single click of the mouse and in case you would like to change the current version, the update will take effect instantly. Thus, many years of work on websites created with an older version of PHP will not be lost. Our web hosting platform will even allow you to use a different version of PHP for each domain hosted in your account, which means that you can run older and newer scripts simultaneously. Most hosting providers on the market offer one, sometimes two versions of PHP. Unlike them, we hold that you should be the one to pick the version that will be used by your own websites.

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

Even in case your sites were created with an older PHP version, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support different versions running at the same time on our servers and each of them can be enabled for your account with no more than one click of the mouse from our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Aside from the newest PHP 8, we also offer support for 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and the older PHP 4, which has already been abandoned by the majority of web hosts, but we hold that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a site that took years to set up, since older script language syntax doesn’t always suggest safety flaws. On the contrary, a rightly maintained website using PHP 4 can be more reliable than a wrongly maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience’s sake, we will also provide you with the possibility to select a different version for each single site within the account.
