PHP is one of the most commonly used server-side scripting languages. It is extremely popular since it’s free software, which you can use to build interactive websites like social networking websites, Internet shops or online teaching portals rather than static HTML-based sites. A PHP module must be available on the server where a PHP-driven website is hosted so that its code can be read. Because there are no license charges for this type of module and the language itself offers limitless options for the web applications that you set up, there’re 100s of millions of PHP sites. Besides, there are a lot of PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your websites without having to possess any coding experience. Since there’re a number of PHP versions, you must ensure that the exact same version that you used while creating your site is available on the web server as well.

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

With our shared website hosting, you will be able to choose which PHP version will be enabled for your account, since we offer support for multiple versions. With only one click, you will be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and every time a new version is unveiled in the future, we will include it in the Hepsia Control Panel without removing the earlier ones. Thus, you will be able to host all the websites that you’ve created through the years. In stark contrast with lots of other providers, we won’t compel you to update such websites, as a script may be outdated, but this does not automatically mean that it is vulnerable as you may have tweaked its code to fill safety breaches. For your convenience’s sake, you’ll even be able to specify a different PHP version for each website hosted in your shared account.

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

In case you’ve got a website built with an earlier PHP version and you’ve funneled time and effort into developing it, repairing safety gaps and inserting web page content, you will need to find a web hosting service that can support it, as almost all web hosting providers these days offer only the latest version of PHP and drop the previous versions. We, on the other hand, have decided to let you select the version that your sites require. Our semi-dedicated servers support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which suggests that you will be able to run both newer and older scripts without forfeiting any custom modifications or misspending time and energy striving to make your sites compatible with the hosting environment. You can change the current version from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and such an update will affect the entire semi-dedicated server account, but you’ll also have the ability to pick a different PHP version for each site hosted in your account using an .htaccess file.
