PHP, which is a bacronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is among the most famous curly-brace programming languages available out there. Any site or Internet application built using PHP will run on a given web server as long as a PHP module is installed, which renders the language absolutely universal and it’s not really that unusual that there are actually several million web servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-driven websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it permits you to develop a responsive site with many different options. A PHP-based community web portal, for example, will show different web content to each user irrespective of the fact that the page URL will not change. On the other hand, HTML-based sites are static and the page content itself can be modified only manually. Like any other piece of software, PHP has several versions and the one that was used whilst developing a particular website must be set up on the server in order for the site to run flawlessly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting servers support different PHP versions, which suggests that your sites will run flawlessly even if your scripts are outdated. We recognize the fact that an old website does not inevitably mean a vulnerable one as you may have performed a lot of source code modifications. That is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which version will be active for your shared hosting account. You can change the version with one single click through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the update will be applied momentarily. In case you’d like to run both older and newer scripts, there’s even an option to use a different PHP version for each of your domain names simultaneously.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our Linux semi-dedicated service support multiple versions of PHP, so you will be able to use all the apps that you have built over the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each semi-dedicated server account, will allow you to enable the needed version with just one mouse click. You can pick between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. In case you’d like to host multiple sites in one and the same account and they have diverse requirements referring to the web hosting platform, you will be able to set a different PHP version for each one of them no matter which version has been selected for the account itself. That’s achievable thanks to our in-house developed cloud web hosting platform, which allows us to run different PHP versions concurrently. By contrast, the great majority of web hosts typically offer one, in extremely rare cases – two versions.
