PHP, which is an initialism for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most popular open-source web programming languages that are available out there. Any website or web-based application built with PHP will run on a given server on the condition that a PHP module is installed, which makes the language really universal and it’s little wonder that there are a few million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-driven websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML owing to the fact that it enables you to develop an interactive site with an enormous number of features. A PHP-based community site, for instance, will display unique content to each user even though the URL will remain unchanged. By contrast, 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 creating a specific website must be present on the web server in order for the site to run faultlessly.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Website Hosting

With our Linux cloud website hosting services, you’ll be able to choose which version of PHP will be active for your shared hosting account, since we offer support for multiple versions. With only one mouse click, you’ll be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and whenever a new version is introduced in the future, we will include it in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the previous versions. In this way, you will be able to host all the sites that you have created through the years. Unlike lots of other web hosts, we won’t compel you to update such sites, because a script may be out of date, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that it is insecure as you may have tweaked its source code to repair security breaches. For your convenience, you will even be able to pick a different PHP version for each single website that you host in your hosting account.

You can change the version both for a single site and for the whole account and the new settings will be applied in just a couple of minutes. With our web hosting services, you can rest assured that you won’t ever bump into any website compatibility issues.
