PHP is amongst the most widely used open-source programming languages. It is very popular as it’s free software, which can be used to build responsive websites like social networking websites, online shopping portals or school websites as opposed to static HTML-based sites. A PHP module should be activated on the server where a PHP-powered website is hosted so that its code can be ‘decrypted’. Because there are no license taxes for such a module and the language itself provides limitless options for the web apps that you set up, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP sites. In addition, there’re an immense number of open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without needing to possess any coding skills. Considering the fact that there are a number of PHP versions, you should verify if the exact same version that you used while creating your site is activated on the web server too.

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

With our hosting service, you will be able to select which PHP version will be enabled for your web hosting account, since multiple versions are supported on our servers. With only one click, you will be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and anytime a new version is published in the future, we’ll add it to the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the older ones. Thus, you’ll be able to host all the websites that you’ve set up over the years. In contrast with many other web hosting suppliers, we won’t force you to update such sites, because a script may be out of date, but this does not mean that it’s vulnerable since you may have implemented modifications to its code to fill safety gaps. For your convenience’s sake, you will even be able to pick a different PHP version for each individual site hosted in your web hosting account.

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

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers support multiple versions of PHP, which implies that you will be able to use all the web apps that you have developed over the years. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with every semi-dedicated server account, will allow 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. In case you would like to host multiple sites under the very same account and they have distinct requirements for the hosting platform, you’ll be able to specify a different version for each one of them irrespective of which version has been selected for the account itself. This is achievable owing to our custom-created cloud hosting platform, which allows us to run several PHP versions concurrently. In stark comparison, the vast majority of web hosting suppliers usually support one, in very rare cases – two versions.
