PHP, which is a recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most widely used curly-bracket programming languages available out there. Any site or Internet app created in PHP will run on a given server provided that a PHP module is enabled, which makes the language truly universal and it is not really that surprising that there are actually a few million servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-driven sites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML owing to the fact that it permits you to develop a dynamic serving site with a ton of different features. A PHP-based community portal, for example, will show different web content to each user although the page URL won’t change. By contrast, HTML-based sites are static and the content on the pages can be modified only manually. Just like any other piece of software, PHP has different versions and the version that was used while creating a particular website must be set up on the web server so that the site can run properly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Web Hosting
If you purchase a web hosting package from us, you will never have to speculate over whether or not your websites are compatible with the hosting environment, as we offer support for different PHP versions for the sake of your convenience. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one click and in case you need to change the current version, the update will be applied immediately. Thus, many years of work on websites created with an older PHP version will not go down the tube. Our web hosting platform will even allow you to use a different version of PHP for each domain name hosted in your account, which means that you can run older and newer scripts at the same time. Most hosting providers on the market support one, sometimes two PHP versions. In stark contrast to them, we hold that you should be the one to pick the version that your own websites will be using.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you’ve got a website created in an earlier PHP version and you’ve funneled time and energy into setting it up, plugging safety breaches and publishing page content, you will need to find a hosting service that can support it, since the majority of web hosting vendors today support only the most recently released PHP version and remove the earlier ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to permit you to select the version that your own sites need. Our semi-dedicated servers support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which suggests that you’ll be able to use both older and newer scripts without forfeiting any manual settings or misspending time and energy striving to make your websites compatible with the web hosting environment. The current version can be changed through the Hepsia Control Panel and such an update will apply to the whole semi-dedicated account, but you’ll also be able to select a different version of PHP for each individual site that you host in your account using an .htaccess file.
