PHP, which is a backronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is amongst the most famous general-purpose programming languages available out there. Any website or web-based app written in PHP will run on a given server provided that a PHP module is installed, which makes the language truly universal and it is not very unusual that there are a few million web servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-driven websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML thanks to the fact that it allows you to set up a responsive website with a ton of different features. A PHP-based community portal, for instance, will serve different content to each visitor irrespective of the fact that the page URL will remain unchanged. In comparison, HTML-based websites are static and the page content itself can be edited only manually. Like any other software, PHP has several versions and the version that was used while building a particular website must be configured on the server in order for the site to run correctly.

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

If you buy a cloud website hosting package from our company, you won’t ever have to ask yourself whether your websites are compatible with the web hosting platform, since multiple versions of PHP are installed on our servers for your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to pick PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single click and in case you would like to change the version, the update will be applied instantly. In this way, several years of work on sites created with an older version of PHP won’t be in vain. Our web hosting platform will even permit you to use a different PHP version for each domain hosted in your account, which implies that you can use newer and older scripts at the same time. Most hosting companies on the market offer one, sometimes two versions of PHP. Unlike them, we hold that you should be the one to choose the version that will be used by your very own websites.

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

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers support multiple PHP versions, which means that you will be able to use all the web applications that you have built over the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each semi-dedicated account, will allow you to set the needed version with a single click. You can choose between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. If you would like to host multiple websites under one account and they have different requirements relating to the hosting platform, you’ll be able to choose a different PHP version for each of them irrespective of which version is enabled for the account itself. This is possible thanks to our custom-created cloud platform, which permits us to run multiple PHP versions at the same time. In stark contrast, most web hosting suppliers normally support one, sometimes two versions.
