PHP is among the most commonly used server-side programming languages. It’s extremely popular because it is free software, which can be used to set up responsive websites such as community web portals, online stores or online learning websites as opposed to static HTML-based sites. A PHP module should be enabled on the web server where a PHP website is hosted so that its source code can be read. Because there are no license charges for this type of module and the language offers innumerable options for the web-based apps that you create, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP-powered websites. Besides, there’re an immense number of open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to have any coding capabilities. Considering the fact that there are a couple of versions of PHP, you have to verify that the very same version that you used whilst building your website is activated on the web server as well.

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

Our web hosting servers support several versions of PHP, which goes to say that your websites will run without any problems even if your scripts are outdated. We realize that an old site does not always mean an insecure one as you may have done a lot of code mods. That is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can choose which version will be active for your shared web hosting account. The version can be changed with a single mouse click through your Hepsia Control Panel and the new settings will take effect instantaneously. In case you’d like to run both newer and older scripts, there’s even an option to use a different PHP version for each of your domains simultaneously.

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

Our semi-dedicated service support multiple PHP versions, so you will be able to use all the web-based apps that you’ve set up over the years. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with each and every semi-dedicated account, will enable you to set the needed version with a single click of the mouse. You can select between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. If you want to host multiple sites under one single account and they have different requirements in connection with the hosting platform, you will be able to set a different PHP version for each of them no matter which version is enabled for the account itself. That’s accomplishable thanks to our custom-developed cloud hosting platform, which allows us to run multiple versions of PHP at the same time. In comparison, the great majority of web hosting providers typically offer one, sometimes two versions.
