PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, popularly referred to as PHP, is a famous curly-brace programming language, which can be used to build dynamic websites with interactive components like Internet forums, e-teaching portals or community sites. In contrast with static HTML-based websites, a PHP-powered website can serve unique web content to each visitor under the exact same page URL. Given the fact that PHP-based applications can be managed via a single Control Panel, which you can access from any web browser, you will not need to have any web development capabilities or previous experience to maintain a PHP site. The fact that hundreds of millions of websites worldwide are created using PHP is an indication of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You only have to confirm whether or not the server on which your website is hosted supports the very same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst setting up the website.

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

We have made a conscious decision not to prevent our current and prospective customers from choosing what PHP version their websites will use, so in case you buy a cloud hosting plan from us, you’ll be able to select between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the account itself, but also for each individual domain hosted by you. This can be done with only one single click of the mouse from our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel via which all shared web hosting accounts are managed, which is the reason why you will not need to have any technical or coding know-how. You’ll be able to run sites based on both old and new PHP-based scripts without having to overcome any hindrances, so if you would like to drop your present hosting services provider and migrate over to us, you can rest assured that all the websites that you’ve built through the years will continue to run perfectly.

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

If you have a website created using an older PHP version and you have committed time and efforts toward setting it up, filling safety breaches and appending content, you’ll need to find a hosting service that can support it, since almost all web hosts nowadays offer only the most recently published version of PHP and abandon the older versions. We, on the other hand, have decided to let you choose the exact version that your sites require. Our semi-dedicated servers support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which suggests that you’ll be able to use both newer and older scripts without forfeiting any custom tweaks or wasting time and efforts trying to make your sites compatible with the web hosting environment. You can change the current version via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will affect the whole semi-dedicated account, but you will also have the ability to specify a different PHP version for each individual website hosted in your account by means of an .htaccess configuration file.
