PHP, which is a recursive abbreviation for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most widely used server-side coding languages that are available out there. Any site or Internet application built with PHP will run on a given server provided that a PHP module is activated, which renders the language absolutely universal and it is no wonder that there are several million web servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP-driven sites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML because it permits you to develop a dynamic website with numerous options. A PHP-based community web portal, for instance, will show unique content to each user regardless of the fact that the page URL won’t change. In contrast, HTML-based sites are static and the content on the pages can be modified only manually. Just like any other software, PHP has several versions and the one that was used whilst creating a certain website must be available on the web server so that the site can run properly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Web Hosting
Our web hosting servers support several PHP versions, which means that your websites will run faultlessly no matter if your scripts are out of date. We realize that an old site does not always imply an insecure one as you may have done plenty of code modifications. That is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can choose which version will be enabled for your account. You can change the version with just one mouse click inside your Hepsia Control Panel and the update will take effect right away. If you wish to run both older and newer scripts, there’s even an option to use a different version of PHP for each domain of yours simultaneously.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
