PHP is among the most commonly used general-purpose server-side coding languages. It’s highly popular since it is free software, which can be used to build responsive sites such as community websites, online shops or e-teaching websites instead of static HTML websites. A PHP module must be enabled on the server where a PHP-driven site is hosted so that its source code can be ‘deciphered’. As there aren’t any license charges for this sort of module and the language itself offers endless options for the web-based apps that you set up, there’re 100s of millions of PHP sites. Moreover, there are a myriad of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to possess any programming experience. Considering the fact that there’re a handful of versions of PHP, you must make sure that the very same version that you used whilst building your website is present on the server as well.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting servers support several versions of PHP, which means that your sites will work without any problems even if your PHP-based scripts are outdated. We recognize the fact that an old site does not inevitably imply an insecure one as you may have performed plenty of source code modifications. That is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which one will be enabled for your shared hosting account. The version can be changed with just one click through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the update will take effect right away. In case you wish to run both older and newer scripts, there is even an option to use a different PHP version for each domain name of yours simultaneously.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated hosting support multiple PHP versions, which means that you’ll be able to run all the web-based applications that you have set up throughout the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated server account, will allow you to activate the required version with just one click of the mouse. You can choose between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. In case you want to host multiple sites under one single account and they have diverse requirements regarding the web hosting platform, you will be able to pick a different version for each of them irrespective of which version has been selected for the account itself. That’s achievable thanks to our custom cloud platform, which permits us to run several PHP versions simultaneously. By comparison, the majority of web hosting companies usually offer one, rarely two versions.
