PHP is one of the most commonly used programming languages. It’s highly popular because it’s free software, which can be used to set up interactive sites like community web portals, online stores or e-teaching websites instead of static HTML-based sites. A PHP module must be present on the web server where a PHP-powered site is hosted so that its PHP code can be interpreted. As there are no license taxes for this kind of module and the language provides limitless possibilities for the apps that you build, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP-driven websites. What’s more, there are a myriad of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to have any coding abilities. As there are a few PHP versions, you ought to make certain that the same exact version that you used whilst building your website is installed on the web server too.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Web Hosting
With our Linux cloud web hosting, you will be able to select the version of PHP that will be enabled for your web hosting account, since we offer support for different versions. With only one click, you’ll be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and each time a new version is published in the future, we will add it to the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the previous versions. In this way, you will be able to host all the sites that you’ve developed over the years. In contrast to a lot of other hosting suppliers, we will not compel you to update such websites, because a script may be outdated, but this does not necessarily mean that it’s insecure as you may have implemented modifications to its code to fix security breaches. For your convenience’s sake, you’ll even be able to choose a different version of PHP for each single site hosted in your shared web hosting account.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a site created in an earlier version of PHP and you have committed time and efforts to developing it, plugging security breaches and appending content, you will need to find a hosting service that can support it, since the majority of hosting suppliers these days support only the latest version of PHP and give up the earlier ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to let you choose the exact version that your own sites require. Our Linux semi-dedicated servers support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which suggests that you’ll be able to use both older and newer scripts without forfeiting any manual settings or wasting time and efforts attempting to make your websites compatible with the hosting environment. You can change the current version via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will affect the whole semi-dedicated server account, but you’ll also be able to pick a different PHP version for each individual site hosted in your account using an .htaccess file.
