PHP is one of the most commonly used multi-paradigm programming languages. It’s exceptionally popular as it is free software, which you can use to create responsive websites such as social networking sites, online shopping portals or online learning websites as opposed to static HTML-based websites. A PHP module must be activated on the web server where a PHP site is hosted so that its code can be ‘decrypted’. As there aren’t any license taxes for such a module and the language itself provides infinite options for the apps that you develop, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP websites. Furthermore, there are a vast number of open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your websites without the need to possess any coding capabilities. As there are a few versions of PHP, you must verify that the exact same version that you used while setting up your site is activated on the web server too.

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

We have made the decision not to restrict our current and future clients from choosing what PHP version their websites will use, which implies that if you get a hosting package from us, you will be able to pick between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account itself, but also for each domain hosted by you. This can be done with just one click of the mouse through our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel via which all shared web hosting accounts are managed, which is why you will not need any technical or coding abilities. You’ll be able to manage sites built with both old and new PHP-based scripts without having to deal with any predicaments, so if you decide to drop your present hosting supplier and migrate over to us, you can be sure that all the sites that you’ve created through the years will continue to work properly.

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

Even if your websites were built with an older PHP version, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support several versions running at the same time on our semi-dedicated servers and each of them can be enabled for your account with just one click of the mouse through our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. Besides the newest PHP 8, we also offer 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 dropped by the majority of hosting companies, but we are strongly convinced that you should not be compelled to modify a website that took years to set up, as older scripting language syntax does not inevitably equal security gaps. Quite the opposite, a correctly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more reliable than an inadequately maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience’s sake, we will also provide you with the opportunity to set a different version for each site within your account.
