PHP is one of the most widely used open-source server-side coding languages. It’s very popular since it is free software, which you can use to set up responsive sites such as social networking sites, web shops or online teaching websites instead of static HTML sites. A PHP module must be activated on the web server where a PHP website is hosted so that its source code can be read. Since there aren’t any license taxes for this kind of module and the language offers incalculable options for the apps that you set up, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP websites. On top of that, there are a ton of open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your websites without the need to possess any programming know-how. Given the fact that there are different PHP versions, you have to make certain that the same version that you used while developing your site is present on the web server as well.

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

If you buy a cloud website hosting package from us, you will never need to speculate as to whether your sites are compatible with the web hosting platform, since several versions of PHP are supported on our servers for the sake of your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single click of the mouse and if you wish to change the current version, the new settings will be applied momentarily. In this way, several years of work on sites built with an older PHP version will not be lost. Our web hosting platform will even permit you to use a different version of PHP for each domain name hosted in your account, which means that you can use newer and older scripts simultaneously. Most hosting companies on the market offer one, sometimes two PHP versions. Unlike them, we strongly believe that you should be the one to select the version that your very own sites will use.

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

If you’ve got a website based on an earlier PHP version and you’ve committed time and effort towards setting it up, patching security gaps and appending content, you will need to find a hosting service that can support it, since the majority of web hosting suppliers nowadays offer support only for the most recently published PHP version and abandon the previous versions. We, however, have decided to let you select the exact version that your own sites need. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which goes to say that you will be able to run both older and newer scripts without losing any manual modifications or wasting time and effort attempting to make your sites compatible with the web hosting environment. The version can be changed through the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will apply to the entire semi-dedicated server account, but you will also have the ability to specify a different version for each single website that you host in your account using an .htaccess config file.
