PHP, which is an initialism for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most widely used curly-bracket programming languages that are available out there. Any site or web app built on PHP will run on a given server on the condition that a PHP module is enabled, which makes the language absolutely universal and it isn’t very surprising that there are actually a few million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-driven websites running on them. What makes PHP preferred over HTML is the fact that it allows you to create a dynamic website with a myriad of different options. A PHP-based community web portal, for instance, will display unique web content to each user regardless of the fact that the URL will remain unchanged. By contrast, HTML websites are static and the content on the pages can be updated only manually. Like any other piece of software, PHP has several versions and the one that was used while setting up a certain website must be activated on the web server in order for the site to behave faultlessly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Website Hosting
We’ve reached a decision not to restrict our present and future customers from picking what PHP version will be used by their websites, which means that in case you get a shared website hosting plan from us, you will be able to choose between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account itself, but also for each single domain hosted by you. This can be accomplished with only one click from our custom Hepsia Control Panel via which all web hosting accounts are administered, which is the reason why you will not have to possess any programming or technical capabilities. You’ll be able to host websites built with both old and new PHP-based scripts without having to deal with any problems, so if you’d like to abandon your current web hosting company and move over to us, you can be certain that all the websites that you’ve developed throughout the years will continue to work perfectly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated hosting support multiple versions of PHP, so you’ll be able to run all the web-based applications that you have built throughout the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with every single account, will enable you to enable the version that you need with just one mouse click. You can pick between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. If you want to host multiple websites under one and the same account and they have distinct requirements about the web hosting platform, you will be able to set a different version for each one of them irrespective of which version is enabled for the account as a whole. This is achievable owing to our custom-created cloud web hosting platform, which permits us to run several PHP versions at once. By comparison, most hosting suppliers usually support one, in exceptionally rare cases – two versions.
