PHP is one of the most commonly used imperative programming languages. It is exceptionally popular because it is free software, which you can use to develop responsive sites like social networks, e-stores or online teaching websites instead of static HTML-based websites. A PHP module must be present on the server where a PHP site is hosted so that its source code can be interpreted. Since there are no license taxes for this sort of module and the language itself provides innumerable possibilities for the web-based applications that you build, there’re 100s of millions of PHP websites. What’s more, there are many open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without having to possess any coding expertise. Given the fact that there’re a number of versions of PHP, you must confirm if the exact same version that you used while creating your website is enabled on the web server as well.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting servers support several versions of PHP, which goes to say that your sites will run without any problems even if your PHP scripts are outdated. We recognize the fact that an old site doesn’t always equal a vulnerable one as you may have performed a lot of code modifications. That is the reason why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can pick which one will be enabled for your shared web hosting account. The version can be changed with only one click via your Hepsia Control Panel and the update will take effect right away. In case you’d like to run both newer and older scripts, there is even an option 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 Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated packages support multiple PHP versions, which suggests that you will be able to use all the applications that you have developed through the years. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with each and every semi-dedicated server account, will enable you to enable the required version with just one mouse click. You can select between PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. In case you want to host multiple sites under one and the very same account and they have special requirements about the hosting environment, you will be able to specify a different version for each of them irrespective of which version has been enabled for the account itself. That’s accomplishable thanks to our in-house developed cloud hosting platform, which permits us to run several PHP versions all at the same time. By comparison, the vast majority of web hosts normally support one, in exceptionally rare cases – two versions.
