PHP is amongst the most widely used reflective programming languages. It’s extremely popular since it is free software, which you can use to develop responsive sites like community portals, e-commerce portals or online learning portals as opposed to static HTML-based sites. A PHP module must be activated on the web server where a PHP-driven site is hosted so that its PHP code can be read. As there aren’t any license taxes for this sort of module and the language provides infinite options for the web-based applications that you create, there are hundreds of millions of PHP-powered sites. Moreover, there’re a large number of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to possess any programming experience. Since there are a number of versions of PHP, you have to confirm that the same version that you used whilst developing your site is installed on the server too.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting servers support different PHP versions, which goes to say that your websites will run correctly even if your PHP-based scripts are outdated. We recognize the fact that an old site does not necessarily suggest an insecure one as you may have implemented lots of code modifications. That is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can select which one will be enabled for your web hosting account. You can change the version with only one mouse click from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the new settings will be applied straight away. In case you’d like to run both newer and older scripts, there is even an option to use a different PHP version for each domain name of yours simultaneously.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Even in case your websites were built with an earlier version of PHP, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support multiple versions running at the same time on our servers and each of them can be enabled for your account with just a click from our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel. Besides the newest PHP 8, we also offer 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 abandoned by most web hosting suppliers, but we hold that you shouldn’t be forced to modify a site that took several years to develop, as older programming language syntax does not invariably suggest security breaches. Quite the opposite, an adequately maintained website using PHP 4 can be more reliable than an improperly maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we’ll also provide you with the possibility to set a different version for each website within your account.
