PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, commonly referred to as PHP, is a famous general-purpose programming language, which can be used to set up dynamic sites with interactive elements like bulletin boards, e-teaching portals or social networks. In stark contrast to static HTML websites, a PHP site can display unique content to each user under the exact same page URL. Given the fact that PHP-based web-based applications can be managed through one Control Panel, which you can log on to from any browser, you will not have to possess any computer programming knowledge or previous experience in order to maintain a PHP website. The fact that hundreds of millions of websites all over the world are built using PHP is indicative of the language’s popularity and simplicity of use. You should only check whether or not the web server where you host your website supports the same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst building the website.

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

Our website hosting servers support different PHP versions, which implies that your sites will work faultlessly no matter if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We accept the fact that an old website does not inevitably mean an insecure one as you may have implemented a lot of mods to its code. That’s the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which version will be enabled for your web hosting account. You can change the version with only one single click of the mouse within your Hepsia Control Panel and the update will be applied momentarily. If you want to run both older and newer scripts, there’s even a possibility to use a different version of PHP for each domain of yours simultaneously.

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

Even if your websites were built with an earlier version of PHP, you’ll be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, since we support multiple versions running at the same time on our semi-dedicated servers and each of them can be enabled for your account with no more than one click of the mouse from our in-house developed 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. The latter has already been dropped by the vast majority of web hosts, but we hold that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a website that took years to develop, since older script language syntax does not always equal safety holes. Quite the opposite, a properly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more secure than a negligently maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience’s sake, we’ll also offer you the opportunity to choose a different version of PHP for each site within the account.
