PHP, which is an acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is one of the most popular coding languages out there. Any website or web app created using PHP will run on a given server provided that a PHP module is activated, which makes the language really universal and it isn’t very unusual that there are a few million servers that support it and 100s of millions of PHP-driven websites hosted on them. PHP is preferred over HTML owing to the fact that it permits you to develop a dynamic serving website with tons of options. A PHP-based community website, for example, will show different web content to each visitor regardless of the fact that the page URL will not change. By contrast, HTML-based websites are static and the page content itself can be modified only manually. Just like any other software, PHP has several versions and the one that was used whilst developing a given website must be enabled on the web server in order for the site to run correctly.

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

Our cloud website hosting servers support several versions of PHP, which goes to say that your sites will run flawlessly no matter if your PHP-based scripts are out of date. We acknowledge the fact that an old website doesn’t automatically suggest a vulnerable one as you may have implemented lots of code modifications. That is why we support PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 and you can decide which version will be active for your shared web hosting account. You can change the version with one click of the mouse from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the new settings will take effect straight away. If you’d like to run both newer and older scripts, there is even a possibility to use a different version of PHP for each of your domains at the same time.
