PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, also referred to as PHP, is a popular web development language, which is used to create dynamic sites with interactive components such as discussion forums, online teaching websites or community sites. In comparison to static HTML-based websites, a PHP-powered website can show unique content to each visitor under the same exact page URL. Because of the fact that PHP-based Internet applications can be managed via a single Control Panel, which you can log on to from any web browser, you won’t need to have any web development experience or previous experience whatsoever in order to run a PHP-powered website. The fact that 100s of millions of sites around the globe are built with PHP is an indication of the language’s popularity and ease of use. You only need to verify if the web server on which your website is hosted supports the very same version of PHP as the one that you used whilst building the site.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Hosting
We have reached a decision not to prevent our present and future customers from selecting what PHP version their websites will be using, which goes to say that if you get a cloud hosting plan from our company, you will be able to select between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the account as a whole, but also for each individual domain name that you host. This can be accomplished with only one single mouse click through our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel via which all shared hosting accounts are managed, which is the reason why you won’t need to have any programming or technical expertise. You’ll be able to host sites based on both old and new PHP scripts without any trouble, so if you want to swap your current provider and move over to us, you can be sure that all the websites that you have built over the years will continue to work correctly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Even if your websites were built with an older version of PHP, 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 semi-dedicated servers and each one of them can be activated for your account with no more than one click of the mouse through our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Apart from 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. The latter has already been abandoned by the great majority of hosting providers, but we deem that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a website that took years to develop, since older programming language syntax does not necessarily suggest security breaches. Quite the opposite, a properly maintained site using PHP 4 can be more secure than an incorrectly maintained one using PHP 5. For your convenience, we’ll also provide you with the opportunity to specify a different PHP version for each single site within the account.
