PHP is among the most widely used general-purpose web programming languages. It is quite popular because it is free software, which can be used to build responsive sites like community web portals, online stores or e-teaching portals rather than static HTML sites. A PHP module should be present on the web server where a PHP-powered site is hosted so that its source code can be ‘deciphered’. As there aren’t any license fees for this sort of module and the language itself provides innumerable options for the web apps that you create, there’re 100s of millions of PHP sites. Additionally, there are a myriad of open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your websites without needing to possess any programming capabilities. As there are a couple of versions of PHP, you must verify whether the exact same version that you used while setting up your website is available on the server too.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting servers support several PHP versions, which implies that your websites will run without any problem no matter if your scripts are out of date. We recognize the fact that an old website does not inevitably equal a vulnerable one as you may have done lots of mods to its source code. That’s the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can choose which one will be active for your hosting account. The version can be changed with just one click of the mouse inside your Hepsia Control Panel and the new settings will be applied momentarily. In case you’d like to run both newer and older scripts, there’s even a possibility to use a different version of PHP for each of your domain names simultaneously.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our Linux semi-dedicated servers support multiple PHP versions, so you will be able to use all the web apps that you have built over the years. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with every single semi-dedicated account, will allow you to set the needed version with one mouse click. You can select between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. If you wish to host multiple sites under the exact same account and they have special requirements as regards the web hosting environment, you’ll be able to pick a different version for each one of them regardless of which version is enabled for the account as a whole. This is possible owing to our in-house built cloud hosting platform, which allows us to run multiple versions of PHP at once. In stark comparison, the majority of web hosting vendors typically support one, sometimes two versions.
