PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, popularly referred to as PHP, is a popular open-source server-side coding language, which can be used to build dynamic websites with interactive features such as forums, e-learning sites or community websites. In contrast with static HTML websites, a PHP website can serve different content to each user under the exact same URL. Given the fact that PHP-based web apps can be managed via a Control Panel tool, which you can sign into using any browser, you will not have to possess any web development capabilities or past experience whatsoever in order to maintain a PHP-driven website. The fact that 100s of millions of websites all over the world are built using PHP is an indication of the popularity and the ease of use of the language. You only ought to confirm whether the web server on which your website is hosted supports the same exact PHP version as the one that you used while developing the site.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Website Hosting
If you purchase a cloud website hosting package from our company, you will never need to ask yourself whether or not your websites are compatible with the hosting platform, since we offer support for different versions of PHP for the sake of your convenience. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with just one single click of the mouse and in case you want to change the current version, the update will be applied immediately. In this way, several years of work on websites built with an older version of PHP won’t go down the tube. Our hosting platform will even permit you to use a different PHP version for each domain hosted in your account, which goes to say that you can run older and newer scripts simultaneously. Most web hosting companies on the market support one, sometimes two PHP versions. In contrast with them, we feel that you should be the one to select the version that your very own websites will use.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you’ve got a site created using an older version of PHP and you’ve contributed time and efforts into developing it, repairing safety breaches and embedding content, you’ll need a hosting service that can support it, as the vast majority of web hosting vendors nowadays support only the latest version of PHP and remove the earlier ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to allow you to select the exact version that your websites need. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, so you’ll be able to run both newer and older scripts without forfeiting any customizations or misspending time and efforts trying to make your websites compatible with the web hosting environment. The version can be changed through the Hepsia Control Panel and such an update will affect the entire semi-dedicated account, but you will also be able to select a different version for each single site hosted in your account using an .htaccess configuration file.
