PHP is one of the most widely used multiparadigm programming languages. It is highly popular because it is free software, which can be used to set up interactive websites such as community websites, e-stores or online learning sites instead of static HTML-based websites. A PHP module must be activated on the web server where a PHP-driven site is hosted so that its source code can be ‘translated’. As there aren’t any license fees for this kind of module and the language provides unlimited options for the web-based applications that you build, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP-driven sites. In addition, there’re many PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without needing to possess any coding skills. Since there’re a couple of versions of PHP, you ought to check whether the same version that you used whilst setting up your site is present on the server too.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Hosting
We have made a decision not to restrict our current and potential clients from selecting the PHP version that their sites will be using, which goes to say that if you purchase a shared hosting plan from us, you will be able to pick between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting account as a whole, but also for each domain hosted by you. This can be accomplished with just one single click of the mouse through our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel via which all shared hosting accounts are managed, so you will not need any technical or coding knowledge. You will be able to run sites based on both old and new PHP scripts without any hassles, so if you wish to drop your present provider and move over to us, you can be sure that all the sites that you’ve set up over the years will continue to run properly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
We’re firm in our opinion that several years spent developing a site shouldn’t be lost, so if you get a semi-dedicated server from our company, you’ll be able to use any script, irrespective of whether it is new or old. In stark contrast to lots of hosting companies, we support a number of different versions of PHP on our innovative cloud platform – 4, 5 and 7. You will not only be able to activate the version that you need from your Hepsia Control Panel, but you’ll also have the possibility to choose a different PHP version for each website. The latter can be accomplished merely by uploading an .htaccess file to the given site’s root folder. You can change the version either for a single website or for the account itself and the update will be applied in no more than several minutes. With our hosting services, you can rest assured that you won’t ever bump into any site compatibility obstacles.
