PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, commonly called PHP, is a popular open-source server-side programming language, which is used to build dynamic websites with interactive elements like discussion boards, e-learning sites or community sites. In comparison to static HTML-based websites, a PHP-powered site can serve unique web content to each visitor under the exact same URL. Because of the fact that PHP-based Internet apps can be managed through a single Control Panel tool, which you can sign into using any Internet browser, you will not need to possess any coding capabilities or prior experience to maintain a PHP-driven site. The fact that hundreds of millions of websites worldwide are PHP-based is an indication of the popularity and the simplicity of use of the language. You only ought to verify that the server on which your site is hosted supports the same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst developing the site.

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

If you get a cloud hosting plan from our company, you will never have to speculate if your sites are compatible with the hosting platform, since we support multiple versions of PHP for the sake of your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single click and in case you need to change the current version, the update will be applied instantaneously. In this way, several years of work on sites created with an older version of PHP won’t go down the tube. 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 at the same time. Most hosting providers on the market offer one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In stark contrast with them, we trust that you should be the one to pick the version that your own sites will use.

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

Even in case your sites were built with an earlier PHP version, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, since we support different versions running at the same time on our servers and each of them can be enabled for your account with just a click of the mouse from our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel. In addition to 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, which has already been abandoned by the majority of hosting vendors, but we trust that you should not be forced to modify a website that took several years to set up, since older scripting language syntax doesn’t automatically imply safety holes. Just the opposite, a well-maintained site using PHP 4 can be more secure than an improperly maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we will also provide you with the possibility to specify a different PHP version for each site within the account.
