PHP is one of the most commonly used server-side coding languages. It’s highly popular since it is free software, which you can use to set up interactive websites such as social networking sites, e-shops or e-teaching portals as opposed to static HTML-based websites. A PHP module must be enabled on the server where a PHP site is hosted so that its PHP code can be interpreted. As there aren’t any license charges for this sort of module and the language offers countless possibilities for the web applications that you develop, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP-driven websites. Besides, there’re a huge number of open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to possess any programming abilities. As there are several versions of PHP, you ought to check if the very same version that you used while building your website is installed on the server as well.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Hosting
Our hosting servers support several PHP versions, which means that your websites will work without any problems even if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We acknowledge the fact that an old site does not inevitably suggest a vulnerable one as you may have done plenty of source code modifications. This is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can choose which one will be active for your web hosting account. You can change the version with a single click through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the new settings will be applied right away. In case you’d like to run both newer and older scripts, there’s even a possibility to use a different version of PHP for each of your domains simultaneously.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Even if your sites were built with an earlier version of PHP, you’ll be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support multiple versions running at the same time on our semi-dedicated servers and each one of them can be enabled for your account with just a click from our custom Hepsia Control Panel. Apart from the newest PHP 8, we also offer 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and the older PHP 4, which has already been abandoned by the great majority of hosting suppliers, but we strongly deem that you should not be compelled to modify a website that took several years to develop, since older scripting language syntax does not automatically imply safety weaknesses. On the contrary, a rightly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more reliable than a badly maintained one using PHP 5. For the sake of your convenience, we will also offer you the opportunity to set a different version for each website within the account.
