PHP is amongst the most widely used curly-brace programming languages. It’s rather popular since it’s free software, which can be used to set up responsive websites like community web portals, Internet shops or e-teaching sites instead of static HTML-based sites. A PHP module must be installed on the server where a PHP-driven website is hosted so that its code can be ‘decrypted’. Because there aren’t any license taxes for this kind of module and the language provides incalculable possibilities for the web-based apps that you create, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP-driven websites. In addition, there are numerous PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without needing to have any coding know-how. As there are a handful of versions of PHP, you must check if the same version that you used while creating your site is enabled on the server too.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Web Hosting

We’ve made the decision not to restrict our current and future customers from picking what PHP version their sites will use, which means that in case you get a shared web hosting package from our company, you’ll be able to select between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the web hosting account as a whole, but also for each single domain name that you host. This can be done with only one single mouse click through our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel via which all hosting accounts are administered, so you won’t need to possess any technical or coding abilities. You’ll be able to manage websites built with both new and old scripts without having to deal with any predicaments, so if you want to abandon your present web hosting provider and switch over to us, you can be certain that all the sites that you have created through the years will continue to run properly.

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

In case you’ve got a site created using an earlier PHP version and you have poured in time and efforts into setting it up, plugging safety holes and publishing content, you’ll need to find a hosting service that can support it, as nearly all web hosting providers today offer support only for the most recently released version of PHP and remove the earlier versions. We, on the other hand, have decided to allow you to select the exact version that your very own websites require. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, so you’ll be able to run both newer and older scripts without losing any manual settings or frittering away time struggling to make your sites compatible with the web hosting platform. You can change the version via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will apply to the entire semi-dedicated account, but you’ll also be able to specify a different PHP version for each individual site hosted in your account by means of an .htaccess configuration file.
