PHP is amongst the most commonly used open-source server-side scripting languages. It is pretty popular because it’s free software, which can be used to build interactive websites like social networking sites, e-commerce portals or online teaching sites rather than static HTML sites. A PHP module must be available on the web server where a PHP-powered site is hosted so that its source code can be ‘deciphered’. As there are no license taxes for such a module and the language itself offers countless possibilities for the Internet applications that you build, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP sites. Furthermore, there are a huge number of open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your websites without needing to have any coding capabilities. Considering the fact that there’re different PHP versions, you need to ensure that the exact same version that you used while developing your website is installed on the server as well.

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

Our shared website hosting servers support different versions of PHP, so your sites will run flawlessly no matter if your PHP scripts are outdated. We know that an old site does not invariably mean an insecure one as you may have performed a lot of modifications to its source code. That is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which version will be enabled for your shared web hosting account. The version can be changed with just one click of the mouse in your Hepsia Control Panel and the update will take effect instantaneously. In case you’d like to run both older and newer scripts, there is even an option to use a different version of PHP for each of your domains at the same time.

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

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting support multiple PHP versions, so you will be able to run all the web apps that you have set up over the years. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with each single semi-dedicated account, will allow you to set the needed version with a single mouse click. You can pick between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. In case you would like to host multiple sites in one and the same account and they have distinct requirements in relation to the web hosting environment, you will be able to choose a different version for each of them irrespective of which version has been selected for the account itself. This is accomplishable owing to our in-house built cloud hosting platform, which allows us to run different PHP versions simultaneously. In contrast, most web hosting suppliers normally offer one, maximum two versions.
