PHP is amongst the most commonly used multiparadigm programming languages. It is very popular since it is free software, which can be used to create responsive websites such as social networking websites, e-stores or e-learning websites instead of static HTML websites. A PHP module must be activated on the server where a PHP site is hosted so that its source code can be read. Because there are no license fees for this kind of module and the language provides endless possibilities for the applications that you create, there are hundreds of millions of PHP-driven websites. What’s more, there are a myriad of open-source PHP scripts, which you can use for your websites without having to possess any programming expertise. Given the fact that there are different PHP versions, you should confirm whether the same exact version that you used while setting up your site is installed on the server too.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Website Hosting
We have made a conscious decision not to prevent our present and potential customers from selecting what PHP version their sites will use, which implies that if you get a website hosting package from our company, you’ll be able to choose between versions 4, 5 and 7, not only for the hosting 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-created Hepsia Control Panel via which all web hosting accounts are managed, which is why you won’t have to possess any technical or programming experience. You will be able to host websites built with both old and new PHP-based scripts without having to cope with any obstructions, so if you wish to abandon your present web hosting company and migrate over to us, you can be sure that all the sites that you’ve built over the years will continue to work properly.
PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you have a website created with an older PHP version and you’ve poured in time and effort into developing it, patching safety breaches and publishing web page content, you will need a web hosting service that can support it, as most hosting suppliers nowadays support only the most recently introduced version of PHP and give up the earlier ones. We, on the other hand, have decided to allow you to select the version that your own websites require. Our semi-dedicated packages support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8, which suggests that you’ll be able to run both newer and older scripts without losing any custom settings or misspending time and effort trying to make your sites compatible with the web hosting environment. The current version can be changed from the Hepsia Control Panel and such a change will affect the whole account, but you’ll also have the ability to set a different version for each individual site hosted in your account using an .htaccess configuration file.
