PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, popularly called PHP, is a famous web programming language, which can be used to create dynamic sites with interactive components such as bulletin boards, online learning websites or social networks. In contrast to static HTML-based websites, a PHP website can display unique content to each user under the same exact page URL. Due to the fact that PHP-based applications can be managed through one Control Panel tool, which you can log onto from any online browser, you will not have to possess any coding knowledge or past experience whatsoever to run a PHP-powered website. The fact that 100s of millions of websites worldwide are built on PHP is indicative of the popularity and the ease of use of the language. You must only make sure that the server on which your website is hosted supports the same exact version of PHP as the one that you used while building the site.

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

With our shared hosting, you will be able to choose which version of PHP will be active for your hosting account, as we offer support for several versions. With just one click of the mouse, you’ll be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and each time a new version is launched in the future, we will include it in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the older versions. Thus, you will be able to host all the sites that you have developed through the years. In contrast with a lot of other web hosting companies, we won’t compel you to update such sites, because a script may be out of date, but this doesn’t mean that it is vulnerable since you may have carried out modifications to its code to prevent security holes. For your convenience, you’ll even be able to pick a different version of PHP for each individual website that you host in your hosting account.

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

Even in case your sites were built with an older PHP version, you will 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 one of them can be enabled for your account with no more than a click from our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Aside from the newest PHP 8, we also support 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 abandoned by most web hosting vendors, but we maintain that you should not be compelled to modify a site that took several years to build, as older scripting language syntax doesn’t invariably mean safety gaps. Just the opposite, a rightly maintained website using PHP 4 can be more reliable than an unmaintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we’ll also give you the possibility to pick a different version of PHP for each individual website within your account.
