PHP is among the most commonly used general-purpose server-side coding languages. It’s very popular since it is free software, which you can use to create interactive sites like social networking sites, e-commerce portals or online teaching sites as opposed to static HTML-based sites. A PHP module must be activated on the server where a PHP-powered site is hosted so that its PHP code can be interpreted. As there aren’t any license taxes for this sort of module and the language itself offers countless possibilities for the applications that you build, there are 100s of millions of PHP websites. Additionally, there’re a vast number of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to have any coding knowledge. Given the fact that there are different versions of PHP, you need to verify whether the same exact version that you used whilst setting up your website is available on the server as well.

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

Our web hosting servers support several PHP versions, which suggests that your websites will work flawlessly even if your PHP scripts are out of date. We know that an old website doesn’t automatically imply an insecure one as you may have carried out lots of modifications to its code. This is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which version will be enabled for your account. The version can be changed with a single mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel and the update will be applied instantly. If you would like to run both older and newer scripts, there is even an option to use a different PHP version for each domain of yours simultaneously.

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

If you have a site built using a previous version of PHP and you have dedicated time and effort towards developing it, repairing safety breaches and inputting page content, you will need to find a web hosting service that can support it, as almost all web hosting suppliers nowadays offer only the most recently introduced PHP version and abandon the previous versions. We, on the other hand, have decided to permit you to pick the exact version that your very own websites require. Our semi-dedicated hosting support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which implies that you will be able to use both older and newer scripts without forfeiting any manual modifications or wasting time striving to make your websites compatible with the hosting environment. You can change the current version through the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will apply to the entire semi-dedicated account, but you will also have the ability to select a different version of PHP for each website that you host in your account by using an .htaccess configuration file.
