PHP, which is an initialism for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most commonly used curly-brace programming languages out there. Any site or application based on PHP will run on a given server provided that a PHP module is enabled, which renders the language truly universal and it is not really that surprising that there are several million web servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP sites running on them. PHP is preferred over HTML owing to the fact that it permits you to set up a dynamic website with an abundance of different options. A PHP-based social networking site, for instance, will display unique web content to each visitor regardless of the fact that the URL will stay unchanged. In contrast, HTML-based sites are static and the content on the pages can be updated only manually. Just like any other piece of software, PHP has different versions and the one that was used whilst building a particular website must be present on the web server in order for the site to run properly.

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

With our Linux web hosting services, you’ll be able to pick which PHP version will be enabled for your shared web hosting account, as different versions are available on our servers. With just one click, you’ll be able to switch between PHP 4, 5, 7 and whenever a new version is launched in the future, we will include it in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel without removing the previous versions. Thus, you’ll be able to host all the websites that you’ve created throughout the years. In stark contrast to a lot of other companies, we won’t force you to update such sites, because a script may be outdated, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that it is vulnerable as you may have edited its source code to repair safety breaches. For your convenience, you’ll even be able to select a different version of PHP for each individual website that you host in your shared account.
