PHP, which is a recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most widely used general-purpose scripting languages that are available out there. Any site or web app created using PHP will run on a given server on the condition that a PHP module is activated, which makes the language truly universal and it isn’t a huge surprise that there are several million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP websites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because of the fact that it permits you to develop an interactive website with a myriad of different options. A PHP-based community website, for example, will show different content to each user even though the URL will stay the same. In comparison, HTML sites are static and the page content can be modified only manually. Like any other software, PHP has different versions and the one that was used whilst creating a specific website must be set up on the web server in order for the site to work properly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Hosting
In case you buy a shared hosting plan from our company, you won’t ever have to ask yourself if your sites are compatible with the web hosting environment, since different PHP versions are available on our servers for your convenience. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single click of the mouse and if you wish to change the version, the update will be applied immediately. Thus, many years of work on sites built with an older version of PHP will not go down the tubes. Our hosting platform will even allow you to use a different version of PHP for each domain hosted in your account, which goes to say that you can use older and newer scripts simultaneously. Most web hosting providers on the market offer one, sometimes two PHP versions. In stark contrast to them, we strongly feel that you should be the one to select the version that your own sites will use.

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes bundled with every semi-dedicated account, will allow you to activate the needed version with a single click of the mouse. You can select between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. In case you would like to host multiple sites in one account and they have special requirements with regards to the hosting environment, you’ll be able to pick a different version for each and every one of them irrespective of which version has been selected for the account itself. This is achievable owing to our custom-built cloud web hosting platform, which permits us to run several versions of PHP all at the same time. In stark contrast, the vast majority of hosting providers normally support one, maximum two versions.
