PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, popularly referred to as PHP, is a famous open-source server-side scripting language, which can be used to develop dynamic websites with interactive elements such as discussion boards, online learning sites or community portals. In contrast to static HTML sites, a PHP-powered site can show different content to each visitor under the same exact URL. Because of the fact that PHP-based Internet applications can be managed via one single Control Panel, which you can sign on to using any Internet browser, you won’t need any computer programming abilities or prior experience whatsoever in order to administer a PHP-powered site. The fact that 100s of millions of sites all over the world are created in PHP is an indication of the popularity and the simplicity of use of the language. You must only check whether or not the server on which your website is hosted supports the same exact PHP version as the one that you used whilst developing the site.

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

We have made a conscious decision not to restrict our present and future customers from picking what PHP version will be used by their sites, so in case you buy a cloud web hosting package from our company, you will be able to pick between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account in general, but also for each domain that you host. This can be done with only one click of the mouse through our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel via which all shared hosting accounts are managed, which is why you will not need to possess any programming or technical expertise. You’ll be able to run websites built with both old and new PHP-based scripts without trouble, so if you want to leave your present web hosting provider and migrate over to us, you can be sure that all the sites that you’ve created throughout the years will continue to run flawlessly.

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

Even if your sites were built with an earlier version of PHP, you’ll be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support several versions running simultaneously on our servers and each of them can be activated for your account with just one click of the mouse from our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Apart from the latest PHP 8, we also offer support for 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 majority of web hosting suppliers, but we feel that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a site that took several years to set up, since older scripting language syntax doesn’t invariably imply security flaws. Quite the opposite, a rightly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more reliable than a poorly maintained one using PHP 5. For the sake of your convenience, we’ll also provide you with the possibility to select a different version of PHP for each website within your account.
