PHP is one of the most widely used object-oriented programming languages. It’s pretty popular as it’s free software, which you can use to build interactive sites like social networking websites, web shops or online learning sites instead of static HTML websites. A PHP module must be available on the web server where a PHP site is hosted so that its PHP code can be ‘decrypted’. Because there aren’t any license taxes for this sort of module and the language itself offers infinite possibilities for the web-based applications that you set up, there are hundreds of millions of PHP sites. Plus, there’re heaps of open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to possess any programming experience. Since there are different versions of PHP, you must verify that the exact same version that you used while developing your website is activated on the server as well.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Website Hosting
If you order a cloud website hosting package from our company, you’ll never have to ponder over whether or not your websites are compatible with the hosting environment, since we offer support for several versions of PHP for the sake of your convenience. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one mouse click and in case you’d like to change the current version, the update will be applied straight away. In this way, many years of work on sites created with an older version won’t go down the tubes. Our hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain hosted in your account, which means that you can use older and newer scripts at the same time. Most hosting providers on the market support one, sometimes two versions of PHP. In stark contrast to them, we believe that you should be the one to select the version that your very own sites will be using.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
Even in case your websites were built with an earlier version of PHP, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, since we support multiple versions running at the same time on our servers and each one of them can be activated for your account with just one click via our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Apart from the newest 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, which has already been dropped by the majority of web hosting providers, but we strongly feel that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a site that took years to build, as older script language syntax doesn’t automatically imply security breaches. Just the opposite, a correctly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more secure than an incorrectly maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience’s sake, we’ll also offer you the opportunity to set a different version for each website within your account.
