PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, commonly referred to as PHP, is a popular open-source web programming language, which is used to develop dynamic sites with interactive components like discussion boards, online learning sites or social networking sites. In contrast with static HTML websites, a PHP website can show unique web content to each user under the same URL. Since PHP-based web apps can be managed through one Control Panel, which you can log into using any browser, you will not have to possess any programming expertise or practical experience whatsoever to administer a PHP website. The fact that hundreds of millions of sites around the world are built using PHP is indicative of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You should only make sure that the server on which your website is hosted supports the very same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst setting up the site.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Hosting
We’ve reached a decision not to prevent our current and future customers from picking what PHP version their sites will be using, so in case you buy a shared hosting plan from our company, you’ll be able to choose between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the web hosting account in general, but also for each domain hosted by you. This can be done with just one mouse click through our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel via which all accounts are administered, so you will not need to have any technical or programming skills. You will be able to run sites based on both new and old PHP-based scripts without having to cope with any hindrances, so if you decide to leave your present web hosting vendor and switch over to us, you can rest assured that all the sites that you’ve built throughout the years will continue to run impeccably.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you’ve got a site based on an older PHP version and you have funneled time and efforts into developing it, patching safety holes and inserting content, you’ll need to find a hosting service that can support it, as nearly all hosting suppliers today offer support only for the most recently launched PHP version and remove the earlier versions. We, on the other hand, have decided to allow you to pick the exact version that your very own websites require. Our semi-dedicated servers support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which suggests that you will be able to run both newer and older scripts without losing any manual tweaks or frittering away time and energy trying to make your websites compatible with the web hosting platform. The version can be changed via the Hepsia Control Panel and such an update will affect the entire account, but you will also be able to choose a different PHP version for each site hosted in your account by means of an .htaccess configuration file.
