PHP is amongst the most widely used multiparadigm programming languages. It’s quite popular as it is free software, which you can use to develop responsive sites such as community sites, online shops or e-learning portals instead of static HTML websites. A PHP module must be activated on the web server where a PHP website is hosted so that its code can be read. As there are no license fees for this type of module and the language offers unlimited options for the apps that you set up, there’re 100s of millions of PHP-powered websites. Also, there’re numerous open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to possess any coding skills. Since there are several versions of PHP, you have to check if the very same version that you used while setting up your site is available on the server too.

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

We’ve made the decision not to prevent our present and potential customers from selecting what PHP version their websites will use, which suggests that if you get a cloud hosting plan from us, you will be able to pick between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the web hosting account as a whole, but also for each domain name that you host. This can be accomplished with only one click from our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel via which all shared hosting accounts are managed, which is why you will not have to possess any coding or technical expertise. You will be able to manage sites built with both new and old PHP-based scripts without having to overcome any hindrances, so if you’d like to leave your current hosting services provider and move over to us, you can be sure that all the sites that you have developed over the years will continue to work correctly.

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

In case you have a website created with an earlier version of PHP and you’ve contributed time and efforts towards setting it up, repairing security breaches and embedding web page content, you’ll need a web hosting service that can support it, as the vast majority of hosting providers nowadays offer only the most recently published version of PHP and abandon the older ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to allow you to select the version that your very own sites require. Our semi-dedicated hosting plans support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which means that you will be able to use both newer and older scripts without losing any custom modifications or frittering away time and effort struggling to make your sites compatible with the hosting platform. You can change the version through the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will apply to the whole semi-dedicated server account, but you will also be able to choose a different version of PHP for each site hosted in your account by using an .htaccess config file.
