PHP is one of the most commonly used coding languages. It is very popular because it’s free software, which can be used to create interactive websites such as community web portals, shopping portals or e-teaching sites instead of static HTML-based sites. A PHP module must be available on the web server where a PHP website is hosted so that its source code can be read. Since there aren’t any license fees for this type of module and the language provides innumerable possibilities for the applications that you develop, there are hundreds of millions of PHP-powered sites. What’s more, there’re a vast number of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to possess any coding know-how. Given the fact that there’re several PHP versions, you ought to confirm if the same exact version that you used whilst building your website is available on the server too.

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

With our shared website hosting plans, you’ll be able to choose the PHP version that will be active for your account, since multiple versions are supported on our servers. With just one click, you will be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and whenever a new version is released in the future, we’ll include it in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the older versions. In this way, you’ll be able to host all the websites that you have set up through the years. Unlike lots of other hosting vendors, we will not compel you to update such sites, as a script may be outdated, but this does not automatically mean that it is insecure since you may have implemented modifications to its code to plug security holes. For the sake of your convenience, you will even be able to select a different PHP version for each website that you host in your shared web hosting account.

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

If you’ve got a site created in an earlier version of PHP and you’ve dedicated time and efforts in setting it up, plugging safety gaps and publishing web page content, you will need a web hosting service that can support it, since the vast majority of hosting vendors today offer support only for the most recently unveiled PHP version and remove the earlier ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to permit you to pick the exact version that your very own sites need. Our semi-dedicated plans support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which means that you will be able to run both newer and older scripts without forfeiting any manual tweaks or misspending time and efforts attempting to make your websites compatible with the web hosting platform. The current version can be changed via the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will affect the entire account, but you will also have the ability to set a different PHP version for each single website that you host in your account using an .htaccess config file.
