PHP is amongst the most widely used reflective programming languages. It’s highly popular as it is free software, which can be used to set up interactive websites such as community web portals, online shopping portals or online learning sites rather than static HTML sites. A PHP module should be installed on the server where a PHP website is hosted so that its source code can be ‘decoded’. Because there are no license taxes for this kind of module and the language itself provides limitless options for the web apps that you create, there’re 100s of millions of PHP-driven sites. On top of that, there are a myriad of open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without having to possess any coding knowledge. Given the fact that there are different versions of PHP, you ought to verify that the exact same version that you used while setting up your website is installed on the server too.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Website Hosting
If you buy a shared website hosting plan from us, you won’t ever have to ponder over whether your sites are compatible with the web hosting environment, since multiple versions of PHP are enabled on our servers for your convenience. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to pick PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one click of the mouse and if you would like to change the current version, the new settings will take effect instantaneously. In this way, many years of work on sites created with an older version won’t be wasted. Our hosting platform will even allow you to use a different version of PHP for each domain name hosted in your account, which means that you can use older and newer scripts at the same time. Most web hosting companies on the market offer one, sometimes two PHP versions. In contrast to them, we consider that you should be the one to select the version that your own sites will be using.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you’ve got a website built using an earlier PHP version and you have donated time and energy toward developing it, plugging safety loopholes and inserting content, you’ll need a web hosting service that can support it, as nearly all web hosts nowadays support only the most recent version of PHP and remove the older ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to let you choose the version that your websites require. Our Linux semi-dedicated servers support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which means that you will be able to use both newer and older scripts without forfeiting any custom settings or frittering away time and effort striving to make your sites compatible with the hosting environment. The current version can be changed through the Hepsia Control Panel and such an update will apply to the entire semi-dedicated account, but you will also be able to pick a different PHP version for each individual website that you host in your account by means of an .htaccess config file.
