PHP is amongst the most widely used programming languages. It’s very popular as it’s free software, which can be used to build responsive websites such as community websites, e-shops or e-learning sites as opposed to static HTML websites. A PHP module must be enabled on the web server where a PHP-driven site is hosted so that its PHP code can be ‘deciphered’. As there aren’t any license taxes for this sort of module and the language itself offers unlimited possibilities for the web apps that you develop, there are hundreds of millions of PHP-driven sites. Additionally, there are many open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your websites without the need to have any programming abilities. Given the fact that there’re a few PHP versions, you need to verify whether the very same version that you used whilst building your website is installed on the web server too.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Hosting

We have made the decision not to prevent our current and prospective customers from selecting what PHP version their sites will use, which goes to say that in case you get a shared hosting plan from us, you’ll be able to choose between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account in general, but also for each single domain that you host. This can be done with only one single mouse click from our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel via which all shared hosting accounts are administered, so you will not need to possess any coding or technical abilities. You will be able to run sites based on both new and old PHP-based scripts without having to deal with any obstacles, so if you wish to swap your current provider and switch over to us, you can rest assured that all the sites that you have developed over the years will continue to work faultlessly.

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

Our semi-dedicated servers support multiple PHP versions, so you’ll be able to run all the web apps that you’ve built through the years. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with each semi-dedicated server account, will enable you to activate the needed version with one single click of the mouse. You can choose between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. If you would like to host multiple sites under one and the very same account and they have special requirements in respect to the hosting platform, you’ll be able to choose a different version for each one of them no matter which version has been enabled for the account as a whole. This is achievable thanks to our in-house built cloud platform, which permits us to run several PHP versions at once. In comparison, the great majority of hosting companies normally support one, in rare cases – two versions.
