PHP is one of the most widely used curly-brace programming languages. It is quite popular as it’s free software, which can be used to build responsive sites such as social networking sites, web stores or e-learning websites rather than static HTML-based websites. A PHP module should be installed on the web server where a PHP website is hosted so that its source code can be ‘decoded’. Since there aren’t any license fees for this kind of module and the language offers unlimited possibilities for the web applications that you create, there are 100s of millions of PHP-driven sites. What is more, there are a lot of open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your websites without having to possess any programming capabilities. Since there’re a number of versions of PHP, you should make certain that the same exact version that you used whilst creating your site is available on the web server too.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Web Hosting
If you get a shared web hosting plan from our company, you won’t ever have to question yourself on whether your sites are compatible with the hosting platform, as we offer support for several versions of PHP for your convenience. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to pick PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one single click and if you wish to change the version, the update will be applied momentarily. Thus, years of work on websites created with an older version of PHP will not be wasted. Our hosting platform will even permit you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, which means that you can run newer and older scripts simultaneously. Most hosting companies on the market support one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In contrast to them, we are strongly convinced that you should be the one to select the version that will be used by your very own sites.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a website created using a previous version of PHP and you’ve donated time and energy towards developing it, filling security breaches and adding web page content, you will need a hosting service that can support it, since the great majority of web hosts today offer support only for the latest PHP version and give up the previous ones. We, however, have decided to allow you to select the exact version that your very own sites require. Our semi-dedicated servers 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 losing any custom tweaks or wasting time and efforts trying to make your websites compatible with the hosting platform. You can change the current version through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will affect the whole semi-dedicated account, but you’ll also be able to pick a different version for each individual site that you host in your account by using an .htaccess file.
