PHP is among the most commonly used curly-brace programming languages. It’s exceptionally popular since it is free software, which you can use to set up responsive websites like social networking sites, e-shops or e-learning websites instead of static HTML-based websites. A PHP module must be present on the web server where a PHP website is hosted so that its source code can be interpreted. Since there aren’t any license charges for this type of module and the language itself offers countless options for the apps that you set up, there’re hundreds of millions of PHP-powered sites. In addition, there are loads of open-source PHP-based scripts, which you can use for your sites without the need to have any coding skills. Since there’re different PHP versions, you ought to verify that the exact same version that you used whilst building your website is available on the server too.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Shared Website Hosting

With our Linux shared website hosting packages, you’ll be able to pick which version of PHP will be enabled for your hosting account, since different versions are installed on our servers. With only one mouse click, you will be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and anytime a new version is released in the future, we will include it in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the previous ones. In this way, you’ll be able to host all the sites that you’ve created throughout the years. In stark contrast with many other companies, we won’t force you to update such websites, because a script may be out of date, but this doesn’t mean that it’s insecure as you may have carried out modifications to its code to patch security gaps. For the sake of your convenience, you will even be able to pick a different PHP version for each individual website hosted in your shared hosting account.

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

Even in case your sites 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 several versions running at the same time on our servers and each of them can be activated for your account with just a click of the mouse from our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Besides the most recent 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 abandoned by the great majority of hosting suppliers, but we strongly trust that you shouldn’t be compelled to modify a website that took several years to set up, as older script language syntax does not invariably imply security breaches. Just the opposite, an adequately maintained website using PHP 4 can be more secure than an improperly maintained one using PHP 5. For the sake of your convenience, we will also offer you the possibility to choose a different version of PHP for each website within your account.
