PHP is one of the most widely used server-side programming languages. It is quite popular because it is free software, which you can use to create responsive sites such as community web portals, Internet shops or online teaching sites instead of static HTML-based websites. A PHP module must be installed on the web server where a PHP-powered site is hosted so that its source code can be ‘deciphered’. Since there are no license taxes for this sort of module and the language offers unlimited options for the web-based apps that you develop, there’re 100s of millions of PHP-driven websites. Furthermore, there’re a large number of open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without needing to possess any programming abilities. Since there’re several PHP versions, you must make sure that the exact same version that you used whilst creating your website is present on the web server as well.

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

We have made the decision not to restrict our current and potential customers from selecting what PHP version their websites will use, which suggests that in case you order a cloud hosting plan from our company, you will be able to pick between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the account itself, but also for each single domain name hosted by you. This can be accomplished with only one single click through our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel via which all web hosting accounts are administered, which is why you will not need to have any technical or coding skills. You will be able to run websites based on both new and old PHP scripts without having to deal with any obstructions, so if you’d like to leave your current web hosting services provider and migrate over to us, you can be sure that all the websites that you have developed through the years will continue to run faultlessly.

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

Even if your websites were built with an older PHP version, you will be able to host them in a semi-dedicated server account from us, since we support different versions running at the same time on our servers and each one of them can be enabled for your account with just a click of the mouse from our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. Other than the latest PHP 8, we also offer 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and the older PHP 4, which has already been dropped by the majority of hosting vendors, but we consider that you should not be compelled to modify a website that took years to set up, as older programming language syntax does not always imply security gaps. On the contrary, a properly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more secure than a wrongly maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we’ll also give you the opportunity to select a different version for each website within the account.
