PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, commonly referred to as PHP, is a famous multiparadigm programming language, which is used to set up dynamic websites with interactive elements such as bulletin boards, online learning websites or community web portals. In stark contrast to static HTML-based sites, a PHP-driven website can show different content to each visitor under the same URL. Because PHP-based applications can be managed via one Control Panel, which you can log in to using any Internet browser, you won’t need to possess any web development knowledge or past experience in order to run a PHP-driven website. The fact that 100s of millions of sites around the world are based on PHP is an indication of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You only have to make sure that the web server on which your site is hosted supports the same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst building the site.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Website Hosting
With our cloud website hosting packages, you’ll be able to select the PHP version that will be active for your shared account, as we offer support for several versions. With just one mouse click, you’ll be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and every time a new version is unveiled in the future, we’ll add it to the Hepsia Control Panel without removing the earlier ones. In this way, you will be able to host all the websites that you have developed over the years. In contrast with lots of other web hosts, we won’t force you to update such sites, because a script may be out of date, but this does not necessarily mean that it is vulnerable since you may have performed modifications to its code to patch security gaps. For your convenience, you’ll even be able to pick a different version of PHP for each individual website that you host in your hosting account.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Even if your websites were built with an older version of PHP, you’ll be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, since we support several versions running simultaneously on our servers and each of them can be enabled for your account with just a click of the mouse through our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Aside from the most recent PHP 8, we also offer support for 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 dropped by the vast majority of hosting companies, but we strongly trust that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a site that took several years to build, as older programming language syntax does not invariably mean security weaknesses. On the contrary, a correctly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more secure than a badly maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we will also provide you with the possibility to select a different PHP version for each individual website within your account.
