PHP, which is a recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is among the most widely used server-side programming languages that are available out there. Any site or web app built with PHP will run on a given web server as long as a PHP module is activated, which renders the language absolutely universal and it isn’t a huge surprise that there are a few million web servers that support it and hundreds of millions of PHP sites running on them. What makes PHP preferred over HTML is the fact that it enables you to build an interactive website with lots of options. A PHP-based community site, for example, will show unique web content to each visitor even though the URL will remain unchanged. On the other hand, HTML-based sites are static and the page content itself can be updated only manually. Like any other software, PHP has different versions and the one that was used while developing a given website must be present on the server so that the site can run flawlessly.

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

With our cloud hosting, you will be able to pick which PHP version will be active for your account, since different versions are enabled on our servers. With as little as one click, you will be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and every time a new version is published in the future, we will include it in the Hepsia Control Panel without removing the previous ones. Thus, you will be able to host all the websites that you’ve developed throughout the years. In contrast to lots of other web hosting suppliers, we won’t force you to update such websites, because a script may be out of date, but this does not automatically mean that it is insecure as you may have done modifications to its code to repair safety holes. For your convenience’s sake, you’ll even be able to set a different version of PHP for each individual site hosted in your shared hosting account.

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

It’s our unwavering conviction that several years spent setting up a site shouldn’t be in vain, which suggests that in case you get a semi-dedicated server from us, you will be able to use any script, no matter if it’s new or old. In contrast with a lot of hosting suppliers, we support a number of different PHP versions on our state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform – 4, 5 and 7. You will not only be able to activate the required version from your Hepsia Control Panel, but you will also have the possibility to specify a different PHP version for each individual website. The latter can be done simply by placing an .htaccess file within the given site’s root directory. You can change the version either for a single website or for the whole account and the update will be applied in no more than a few minutes. With our web hosting services, you can rest assured that you will never run into any website compatibility impediments.
