PHP is among the most commonly used coding languages. It’s very popular because it is free software, which can be used to develop interactive sites like community portals, shopping portals or online teaching sites rather than static HTML-based websites. A PHP module should be available on the server where a PHP-driven site is hosted so that its source code can be ‘decrypted’. Since there aren’t any license fees for this sort of module and the language provides endless possibilities for the web-based applications that you set up, there are hundreds of millions of PHP sites. In addition, there are a multitude of PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without having to possess any programming experience. As there’re a couple of versions of PHP, you must make certain that the same version that you used whilst setting up your site is enabled on the web server too.

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

We have made the decision not to prevent our current and future customers from picking what PHP version will be used by their sites, which means that in case you order a shared web hosting package from our company, you’ll be able to select between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the web hosting account itself, but also for each domain hosted by you. This can be done with just one single mouse click through our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel via which all shared hosting accounts are administered, which is why you will not need any programming or technical skills. You’ll be able to run websites built with both new and old scripts without having to overcome any complications, so if you want to drop your current provider and move over to us, you can be certain that all the sites that you’ve created throughout the years will continue to work properly.

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

Even if your sites were created with an earlier PHP version, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, as we support different versions running simultaneously on our servers and each of them can be activated for your account with just a click of the mouse from our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Besides the newest 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, which has already been abandoned by the great majority of web hosting vendors, but we strongly think that you shouldn’t be forced to modify a site that took several years to build, as older programming language syntax doesn’t inevitably equal safety vulnerabilities. Quite the opposite, a rightly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more reliable than a poorly maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience’s sake, we’ll also give you the opportunity to specify a different version for each individual website within the account.
