PHP is among the most commonly used general-purpose server-side scripting languages. It’s very popular as it is free software, which you can use to create responsive websites such as community portals, online stores or e-teaching portals instead of static HTML websites. A PHP module should be present on the web server where a PHP-driven website is hosted so that its PHP code can be ‘decrypted’. Because there are no license taxes for such a module and the language offers endless options for the web-based apps that you develop, there are 100s of millions of PHP-powered websites. What’s more, there are lots of open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without needing to possess any coding expertise. Given the fact that there’re a couple of PHP versions, you ought to ensure that the same exact version that you used while building your site is present on the web server too.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Web Hosting
If you get a shared web hosting package from us, you will never need to speculate over whether your websites are compatible with the hosting environment, since we support multiple PHP versions for your convenience’s sake. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single click of the mouse and if you need to change the version, the update will take effect instantly. Thus, several years of work on sites built with an older version of PHP won’t be lost. Our web hosting platform will even permit you to use a different version of PHP for each domain hosted in your account, which suggests that you can use older and newer scripts simultaneously. Most hosting companies on the marketplace offer support for one, sometimes for two versions of PHP. In stark contrast to them, we strongly feel that you should be the one to pick the version that your own websites will use.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated servers support multiple versions of PHP, which implies that you will be able to run all the web applications that you’ve set up through the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with every semi-dedicated server account, will permit you to activate the version that you need with just one click of the mouse. You can select between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. If you’d like to host multiple websites under one and the same account and they have different requirements relating to the hosting platform, you will be able to specify a different PHP version for each of them irrespective of which version has been selected for the account itself. That’s achievable thanks to our custom-created cloud platform, which permits us to run multiple PHP versions at the same time. By contrast, the majority of web hosting providers normally support one, sometimes two versions.
