PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, popularly known as PHP, is a famous server-side coding language, which can be used to build dynamic websites with interactive elements such as Internet forums, online teaching portals or social networking websites. In contrast with static HTML websites, a PHP website can serve different web content to each user under the same page URL. Due to the fact that PHP-based Internet applications can be managed via one Control Panel, which you can log on to using any web browser, you won’t need to have any programming skills or previous experience in order to maintain a PHP-driven site. The fact that 100s of millions of sites all over the world are built on PHP is indicative of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You only have to check if the web server where you host your website supports the same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst setting up the website.

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

We have made a decision not to restrict our current and prospective customers from picking the PHP version that their sites will use, so in case you order a website hosting package from our company, you will be able to select between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account as a whole, but also for each individual domain name that you host. This can be done with only one single click of the mouse through our custom Hepsia Control Panel via which all shared hosting accounts are managed, so you will not need to possess any technical or programming know-how. You will be able to manage websites built with both old and new scripts without having to overcome any difficulties, so if you decide to abandon your present hosting services provider and switch over to us, you can rest assured that all the websites that you’ve built throughout the years will continue to work impeccably.

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

Even in case your websites were built with an older version of PHP, you’ll be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support multiple versions running simultaneously on our semi-dedicated servers and each one of them can be enabled for your account with no more than one click of the mouse through our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Aside from the most recent PHP 8, we also support 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and the older PHP 4. The latter has already been abandoned by the vast majority of web hosting providers, but we strongly reckon that you should not be forced to modify a site that took several years to develop, as older programming language syntax does not automatically equal security breaches. Quite the opposite, a rightly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more secure than a non-maintained one using PHP 5. For the sake of your convenience, we will also provide you with the possibility to select a different version of PHP for each single website within the account.
