PHP is one of the most widely used server-side coding languages. It is pretty popular since it is free software, which you can use to set up interactive websites such as community sites, online stores or e-learning portals as opposed to static HTML sites. A PHP module should be activated on the server where a PHP website is hosted so that its source code can be interpreted. As there aren’t any license taxes for this kind of module and the language itself provides countless options for the web apps that you develop, there are 100s of millions of PHP sites. What is more, there are a ton of open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without needing to possess any coding know-how. Considering the fact that there’re a handful of versions of PHP, you should confirm if the very same version that you used whilst setting up your website is present on the web server as well.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Hosting
With our Linux shared hosting, you’ll be able to pick which PHP version will be enabled for your web hosting account, as we support different versions. With only one click of the mouse, you’ll be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and anytime a new version is launched in the future, we will include it in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the older versions. In this way, you will be able to host all the sites that you have built over the years. In stark contrast with lots of other web hosts, we won’t force you to update such websites, as a script may be outdated, but this does not automatically mean that it’s vulnerable as you may have implemented modifications to its code to repair safety breaches. For the sake of your convenience, you’ll even be able to choose a different PHP version for each single website hosted in your shared web hosting account.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
Even in case your websites were built with an earlier PHP version, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, since we support several versions running at the same time on our servers and each one of them can be activated for your account with no more than one click of the mouse through our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In addition to the latest PHP 8, we also offer support for 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 dropped by most web hosting vendors, but we consider that you should not be compelled to modify a website that took several years to set up, as older scripting language syntax doesn’t invariably equal safety breaches. Just the opposite, a properly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more reliable than an incompetently maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we will also offer you the opportunity to set a different PHP version for each individual site within the account.
