PHP is among the most widely used general-purpose server-side coding languages. It is highly popular because it’s free software, which can be used to develop interactive sites like community portals, web stores or e-teaching portals rather than static HTML-based websites. A PHP module should be installed on the server where a PHP-powered website is hosted so that its code can be ‘decoded’. Since there aren’t any license taxes for this sort of module and the language offers infinite options for the web applications that you create, there are 100s of millions of PHP sites. On top of that, there are tons of open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without having to possess any programming know-how. As there’re a handful of versions of PHP, you should make sure that the same exact version that you used whilst creating your site is installed on the web server too.

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

Our web hosting servers support different PHP versions, which implies that your websites will work faultlessly even if your scripts are out of date. We realize that an old site doesn’t automatically imply an insecure one as you may have implemented plenty of modifications to its source code. That’s why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can choose which one will be enabled for your account. The version can be changed with just one click through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the new settings will be applied momentarily. In case you’d like to run both newer and older scripts, there’s even a possibility to use a different PHP version for each of your domain names simultaneously.

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

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support multiple PHP versions, which means that you’ll be able to use all the apps that you have developed through the years. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with each and every semi-dedicated server account, will allow you to set 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 would like to host multiple websites in the same account and they have various requirements toward the web hosting environment, you will be able to choose a different version for each and every one of them no matter which version is enabled for the account as a whole. This is achievable owing to our custom-built cloud hosting platform, which allows us to run several versions of PHP concurrently. In contrast, the great majority of hosting companies usually support one, occasionally two versions.
