PHP is amongst the most widely used general-purpose server-side programming languages. It is exceptionally popular since it is free software, which you can use to develop interactive websites such as community portals, online stores or e-learning sites 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 interpreted. As there aren’t any license fees for such a module and the language provides unlimited possibilities for the applications that you develop, there are 100s of millions of PHP-driven sites. What’s more, there’re a myriad of open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to possess any programming knowledge. Considering the fact that there’re a handful of PHP versions, you should confirm that the very same version that you used while creating your site is activated on the server too.

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

Our cloud website hosting servers support several versions of PHP, which means that your websites will work properly even if your scripts are out of date. We know that an old website doesn’t always equal an insecure one as you may have carried out a lot of code mods. This is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which one will be active for your web hosting account. The version can be changed with one single click of the mouse via your Hepsia Control Panel and the new settings will be applied immediately. If you wish to run both newer and older 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 Hosting

If you’ve got a website built using a previous version of PHP and you have committed time and effort towards setting it up, fixing safety breaches and inputting content, you’ll need to find a web hosting service that can support it, as the great majority of web hosting vendors nowadays support only the most recently published PHP version and drop the older ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to allow you to choose the version that your very own sites require. Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, so you will be able to run both newer and older scripts without forfeiting any custom settings or frittering away time and efforts attempting to make your sites compatible with the web hosting platform. The current version can be changed via the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will affect the entire account, but you’ll also be able to pick a different version for each website hosted in your account using an .htaccess file.
