PHP is amongst the most commonly used web programming languages. It is rather popular since it is free software, which can be used to develop interactive websites like community sites, web stores or e-learning portals instead of static HTML-based sites. A PHP module should be available on the web server where a PHP website is hosted so that its code can be ‘translated’. As there are no license fees for this type of module and the language offers incalculable possibilities for the Internet applications that you set up, there are hundreds of millions of PHP-powered sites. On top of that, there are an enormous number of open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your websites without having to possess any coding experience. Since there are different PHP versions, you must make certain that the same version that you used whilst creating your website is activated on the web server as well.

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

If you get a shared hosting package from our company, you will never need to worry about whether or not your websites are compatible with the hosting platform, as multiple PHP versions are available on our servers for your convenience’s sake. The Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to choose PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single click and in case you wish to change the current version, the update will be applied momentarily. Thus, several years of work on websites built with an older version will not be in vain. Our web hosting platform will even permit you to use a different PHP version for each domain hosted in your account, which suggests that you can run older and newer scripts simultaneously. Most web hosting companies on the marketplace offer support for one, sometimes for two PHP versions. In stark contrast to them, we strongly consider that you should be the one to select the version that your own websites will be using.

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

Our Linux semi-dedicated packages support multiple versions of PHP, which suggests that you will be able to run all the Internet applications that you have set up throughout the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each single semi-dedicated server account, will permit you to set the needed version with only one click of the mouse. You can pick between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. If you wish to host multiple websites under one and the same account and they have special requirements with regard to the hosting platform, you’ll be able to set a different version for each one of them irrespective of which version is selected for the account itself. This is achievable thanks to our custom-developed cloud platform, which allows us to run several PHP versions simultaneously. In stark comparison, the majority of web hosting companies typically support one, occasionally two versions.
