PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, commonly known as PHP, is a popular multiparadigm programming language, which can be used to set up dynamic websites with interactive components like forums, e-learning portals or social networks. In comparison to static HTML sites, a PHP-powered website can show different content to each visitor under the same page URL. Considering the fact that PHP-based web-based apps can be managed through one Control Panel tool, which you can sign in to from any online browser, you will not need any web design abilities or past experience to administer a PHP-powered website. The fact that 100s of millions of sites around the world are built on PHP is indicative of the popularity and the ease of use of the language. You only ought to make certain that the web server on which your website is hosted supports the same exact PHP version as the one that you used whilst setting up the site.

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

In case you get a shared hosting package from our company, you will never have to speculate over whether your sites are compatible with the hosting platform, as we offer multiple PHP versions for your convenience. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one single click and in case you wish to change the version, the update will take effect instantaneously. Thus, several years of work on sites created with an older version won’t be wasted. Our web hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, which implies that you can run newer and older scripts simultaneously. Most hosting providers on the market support one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In stark contrast with them, we consider that you should be the one to select the version that will be used by your very own websites.

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

Even in case your websites were built with an older PHP version, you’ll be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, since we support several versions running at the same time on our semi-dedicated servers and each of them can be activated for your account with no more than one click of the mouse via our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel. Other than the newest PHP 8, we also offer 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 most hosting vendors, but we strongly deem that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a website that took several years to set up, since older scripting language syntax doesn’t automatically imply security weaknesses. Just the opposite, a properly maintained website using PHP 4 can be more secure than an incompetently maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we will also offer you the opportunity to pick a different PHP version for each single website within the account.
