PHP is one of the most widely used curly-bracket programming languages. It is extremely popular as it is free software, which can be used to set up responsive websites such as community websites, web stores or online teaching websites rather than static HTML-based sites. A PHP module must be enabled on the web server where a PHP site is hosted so that its source code can be ‘deciphered’. As there aren’t any license taxes for this kind of module and the language itself provides innumerable possibilities for the web applications that you develop, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP sites. Also, there are a ton of open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without needing to possess any coding expertise. Considering the fact that there’re a couple of versions of PHP, you have to confirm if the very same version that you used while building your site is enabled on the server as well.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Website Hosting
If you purchase a website hosting plan from us, you won’t ever need to speculate about whether your sites are compatible with the web hosting platform, since several PHP versions are installed on our servers for your convenience’s sake. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to pick PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one click of the mouse and if you’d like to change the current version, the update will take effect right away. Thus, several years of work on websites built with an older version of PHP will not be in vain. Our hosting platform will even permit you to use a different PHP version for each domain name hosted in your account, so you can use older and newer scripts simultaneously. Most hosting companies on the market offer one, sometimes two PHP versions. In stark contrast with them, we are convinced that you should be the one to pick the version that your very own sites will use.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a website created in an earlier PHP version and you have poured in time and efforts into developing it, fixing security holes and publishing page content, you’ll need a hosting service that can support it, as nearly all web hosting vendors nowadays offer only the most recent PHP version and remove the previous ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to permit you to pick the exact version that your websites require. Our Linux semi-dedicated servers support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which suggests that you’ll be able to run both older and newer scripts without losing any customizations or frittering away time and energy struggling to make your websites compatible with the hosting platform. The current version can be changed via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will apply to the whole semi-dedicated account, but you’ll also have the ability to choose a different PHP version for each website that you host in your account by means of an .htaccess config file.
