PHP, which is a recursive abbreviation for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is among the most famous multi-paradigm programming languages that are available out there. Any website or app based on PHP will run on a given server provided that a PHP module is installed, which makes the language really universal and it isn’t a huge surprise that there are actually several million web servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-powered websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it allows you to set up a dynamic serving website with a myriad of features. A PHP-based social network, for instance, will display different web content to each user despite the fact that the page URL will be the same. By contrast, HTML-based sites are static and the content on the pages can be modified only manually. Like any other software program, PHP has several versions and the version that was used while developing a certain website must be enabled on the web server in order for the site to run faultlessly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Web Hosting
We have reached a decision not to prevent our present and prospective customers from choosing what PHP version their sites will use, which suggests that in case you buy a web hosting package from our company, you will be able to select between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account itself, but also for each single domain hosted by you. This can be accomplished with just one mouse click from our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel via which all shared hosting accounts are managed, so you will not need to have any technical or programming abilities. You’ll be able to manage sites built with both new and old scripts without having to deal with any problems, so if you want to abandon your current web hosting vendor and switch over to us, you can be certain that all the sites that you have set up over the years will continue to work impeccably.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you have a site created in an earlier PHP version and you have dedicated time and energy to setting it up, repairing safety loopholes and publishing content, you’ll need a web hosting service that can support it, as most web hosting providers nowadays support only the latest PHP version and give up the earlier versions. We, on the other hand, have decided to let you select the version that your websites require. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which means that you’ll be able to use both newer and older scripts without forfeiting any custom tweaks or frittering away time and effort attempting to make your sites compatible with the hosting environment. The version can be changed via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such a change will affect the entire semi-dedicated server account, but you will also be able to select a different PHP version for each individual site that you host in your account by means of an .htaccess config file.
