PHP is among the most widely used class-based programming languages. It’s exceptionally popular since it is free software, which can be used to set up responsive sites like community websites, online shops or e-learning sites rather than static HTML sites. A PHP module must be installed on the web server where a PHP-powered site is hosted so that its PHP code can be read. As there aren’t any license charges for this type of module and the language offers limitless possibilities for the Internet apps that you create, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP-powered sites. On top of that, there’re an enormous number of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your websites without the need to possess any coding abilities. Since there are a handful of PHP versions, you must ensure that the same version that you used whilst creating your website is installed on the web server as well.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting servers support different versions of PHP, which implies that your websites will run correctly even if your PHP scripts are outdated. We accept the fact that an old website does not inevitably mean an insecure one as you may have done lots of code mods. This is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can select which version will be enabled for your shared web hosting account. You can change the version with only one single click of the mouse in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the update will be applied instantly. If you would like to run both older and newer scripts, there is even an option to use a different version of PHP for each domain of yours at the same time.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you’ve got a website created using an older PHP version and you have dedicated time and efforts on developing it, plugging security gaps and entering content, you’ll need to find a web hosting service that can support it, since nearly all hosting providers nowadays offer support only for the most recently unveiled version of PHP and drop the previous versions. We, however, have decided to permit you to pick the version that your own websites need. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which goes to say that you will be able to use both newer and older scripts without losing any custom settings or misspending time and energy struggling to make your sites compatible with the web hosting platform. You can change the current version from the Hepsia Control Panel and such an update will affect the whole semi-dedicated server account, but you’ll also have the ability to pick a different version for each website that you host in your account by using an .htaccess file.
