PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, otherwise referred to as PHP, is a popular web programming language, which is used to build dynamic websites with interactive components like bulletin boards, online learning websites or community websites. In comparison to static HTML-based websites, a PHP-driven site can display different content to each user under the exact same page URL. As PHP-based applications can be managed through one single Control Panel, which you can log on to using any web browser, you will not need any web design skills or practical experience whatsoever to maintain a PHP website. The fact that 100s of millions of websites all over the globe are built on PHP is indicative of the language’s popularity and simplicity of use. You must only verify whether or not the web server on which your site is hosted supports the very same version of PHP as the one that you used while creating the site.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Web Hosting
We have decided not to prevent our current and potential clients from choosing the PHP version that their websites will be using, which means that in case you buy a web hosting plan from us, you will be able to pick between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the account as a whole, but also for each single domain hosted by you. This can be done with only one single mouse click from our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel via which all hosting accounts are managed, which is why you won’t need to have any programming or technical knowledge. You’ll be able to run sites built with both old and new PHP-based scripts without any problems, so if you want to swap your current web hosting supplier and move over to us, you can be sure that all the sites that you’ve created through the years will continue to work perfectly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Even in case your sites were created with an earlier PHP version, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support multiple versions running simultaneously on our semi-dedicated servers and each of them can be activated for your account with no more than one click from our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In addition to the most recent PHP 8, we also offer support for 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 web hosting providers, but we strongly consider that you should not be forced to modify a site that took years to build, since older scripting language syntax doesn’t inevitably imply security vulnerabilities. On the contrary, an adequately maintained site using PHP 4 can be more reliable than an incompetently maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience’s sake, we will also give you the possibility to choose a different PHP version for each individual website within your account.
